The NHL Hasn’t Seen This Since Wayne Gretzky

#nhl #hockey #edmontonoilers
Bobby Orr, Mario Lemieux, and Wayne Gretzky. That's it. That's the list of players in the NHL who have EVER reached 100 assists in a season. But this year, Connor McDavid is looking to join that list & we break down how his game has evolved within the Oilers system to allow him to come this close.

We have seen this since Gretzky and it was Lemieux. The 91-92 season he played 64 games and won the Art Ross with 131 points. And the 92-93 season he missed a ton of time but scored 50 points in the last 15 regular season games. Insane numbers. Not taking anything away from McDavid he is obviously God mode and is in the elitist of company.

How lucky we are to be able to witness this.

It would be really cool to see a side by side comparison of great teams from different eras.

[@teh_masterer14]

Amazing breakdowns as usual

[@lach0125]

Thank you for giving a shoutout to Kucherov. So much talk about McDavid and McKinnon. And not to take away from their play or season, but somehow Kucherov has flown under the radar while being first in points.

[@ethancrisp3491]

What I still think is crazy.... So many players today are breaking or nearing Gretzkys records... But its MULTIPLE players breaking individual records that were all set by one guy. Ovechkin might pass him in goals, but nobody is even close to his assists or total points. Mackinnon just got 2nd most home points. McDavid is closing on other records. It is still just insane that all of these records are held by Gretzky and in the future there will be 100 different players each with one of gretzkys records.

[@vegan678]

That's why Gretz is the Goat

[@REAPER-1xxx]

[@Vetiun]

It's not impossible that McDavid catches gretzky in a few point categories honestly. He's liable to play longer, and better. One can just look at the other recent first overalls who've stuck around for reference on that.

[@maxwellmawji240]

He’s been in the league for 8-9 years now and playing with the second best player in the world? 4-5 combined MVP awards? I don’t even want to check how many Art Ross between the 2 of them. But the most important number that is still attached to both their names is a big fat 0!!! They’re not going to win a cup in Edmonton. All offense, no defense. Zach Hyman? A 50 goal scorer??? What a joke!!! He’s very lucky he plays with McDavid because he probably won’t even crack 30 goals in any other team!!! McDavid should sign with TB when he gets a chance. Go to a real team.

He's a great individual player but none of that matters if his team doesn't win a cup. The whole point of this is to win the cup. It's why he puts skates on... if that doesnt happen then yes, that is on him. The GM surrounded him with another top 5 player, and another 1st overall pick and other depth pieces via UFA market.. They sold their future and 1st's for help so this is it... They're a playoff team, its time to lead. If they fail, this is on him.

Brain dead take. Ironic as well. You call him an individual player, then says it’s about the TEAM getting a cup, then you say it’s on HIM if they don’t get a cup?? It’s a TEAM effort bruh. You can’t rely on a single player to win the cup.

@@notfastenough1726 i see what you're saying..but we're not asking McDvaid to lead the Ducks to the cup... Edmonton is a top team in the league. They're up there or right close to the top tier. Great players elevate their team that last step, that last hurdle. GM and ownership did what they could to get him a contending team. I think that if you're asking him to then push them over the top... then that's a fair ask. If he doesnt, then that's on him. He's had a few cracks at it now.
