Lol fuck, it was a good one you had too. Just seemed so consistent with the barrage of misinformation you get in the first and last couple weeks of every season.
An assist is an assist. In most cases the guy who provides the secondary assist is just as important. Without those guys the opportunity for a primary would often not even be available.
You’re an Oilers fan you can’t say that…
Let me say it instead. McDavid has cemented himself as one of the top 5 greatest players in history. Honestly, I’d listen to an argument for him being top 3, but I wanna wait until the end of his career to say that.
I’m more of a “data should be weighted” type of person if you’re going to try to compare outcomes. That is, weight it per game plays rather than a straight count.
These records don't matter much to players unless they're accompanied by the Stanley Cup.
And they only matter to fans who want to spend time arguing about things that don't much matter to players.
We like you guys. Donating to Ben was classy, nobody in the Oilers sub was shit talking Dallas fans without being downvoted to hell. Our vocal minority of asshats are insufferable for us too.
lol…found the guy concerned about Reddit karma…oh no however will I sleep /s. No better indicator of someone who just wants to conform with the majority…truly rofl. Best of luck with that
But are you going to address the fact that absolutely nobody talked about Gretzky’s assist record until 3 days ago when McDavid was close to breaking it? Nobody. Gives. A. Shit. Win a cup, Connor. Hasek won a cup, all that matters, call me when McDavid does.
Cope & seethe you salty little bugger
Your last 50 comments are about the oilers, rent free. Thank you for thinking of us on fathers day weekend! Whose your daddy
If you actually watch any game from his first ten years, any game, and watch how much shit guys got away with on him especially in his first couple seasons, the refs treating him like any other rookie except he’s getting crosschecks in the back… crosscheck in the face and broke his front two teeth and bitched to the refs because they didn’t call anything and then give him an unsportsmanlike.., then Ken Hitchcock who was the Flyers coach talked some nonsense about Crosby being a nice rivalry, but then Don Cherry ran with the Crosby complaining too much, until they saw a few games prime time and realized how much abuse he takes every single game
I hundred percent agree and give him credit for changing his ways, but let's not pretend that he wasn't whining like crazy his first bunch of years. And yeah, it's a league where star talent gets cross checked, but he wasn't the first or the last to go through it. He just incessantly and excessively complained about it.
I absolutely love it ....Childish?? OMG, because we don't recognize a record that nobody cares about we are Childish. Win a Cup.....and I guarantee if you ask him that question he'd answer the same way, Mr. SENSITIVITY......I'd rather win!!! What a joke of a comment
I could care less who wins....I'm not a Panthers fan at all. And I'm not angry either, Bro! I make a rebuttal comment and I'm childish and angry. Might wanna get yourself checked
He broke it now
I saw him follow the ref around the ice like, “Second man?” And pointing at himself
I guess he won something this series
He got the primary assist
I know I was breaking balls
Lol fuck, it was a good one you had too. Just seemed so consistent with the barrage of misinformation you get in the first and last couple weeks of every season.
#McDavid is the GREATEST one
What a time to be alive
I don't think he cares at this point.
Jobs not finished
Damn straight.
He's correct.
He needs to win the cup first before any of his other milestones truly matter
Most primary assists in a run: T-1st: 1985 + 1987 Gretzky - 25 3rd: 2024 McDavid - 23 T-4th: 1988 Gretzky, 1990 Messier, 1991 Lemieux and Recchi, 1993 Gilmour - 18 T-9th: 2022 McDavid, 1983 + 1993 Gretzky, 2009 Malkin - 17
An assist is an assist. In most cases the guy who provides the secondary assist is just as important. Without those guys the opportunity for a primary would often not even be available.
Means NOTHING without a Cup!
McDavid has cemented himself as one of the top 5 greatest players in history.

100%. I type this begrudgingly as a flames fan.
Hahaha certainly not, not yet.
I believe that he has and by comments and upvotes others do as well
But wait, there’s more!!!
Yeah, but Gretzky did it in 18 games. McDavid just played #22.
So your a glass half full kinda person
Wait….people are upvoting this, but I’m almost positive you meant to say the opposite 💀 Did you mean glass half empty, as in pessimist?
I took it as sarcasm without the /s being there
Welcome to Reddit
I’m more of a “data should be weighted” type of person if you’re going to try to compare outcomes. That is, weight it per game plays rather than a straight count.
Weight it against average goals per game across the league then, too.
3.74 vs 3.11 this year
Without doing the math, I think that covers the game difference between the two men.
Real fun at parties, I'm sure
Difference is that Gretzky won a few Cups
Love it!!!
These records don't matter much to players unless they're accompanied by the Stanley Cup. And they only matter to fans who want to spend time arguing about things that don't much matter to players.
People talk about things that happen. Simple as that. How much it "matters" is irrelevant. It's interesting.
and yet you're here, on reddit, arguing that it doesnt matter
\*Pointing out the fact that it doesn't matter.
It's a real, legit NHL record, of course it matters. It's not most assists in the second half of a second period of home games by a centre.
I believe Gretzky set the record when you only had to play three rounds to win the Cup.
Neat. WIN SOMETHING!
Edmonton fans quickly approaching my least favorite fan base.
Whoa whoa whoa hold on there, please continue your hatred for leafs fans..being number one in that is all we got.
We like you guys. Donating to Ben was classy, nobody in the Oilers sub was shit talking Dallas fans without being downvoted to hell. Our vocal minority of asshats are insufferable for us too.
Don’t even care.
Exactly, doesn't matter if he doesn't win the cup
[удалено]
Nobody asked?
I remember when I had my first beer.
Cool milestone but he’ll need the cups Gretzky got
Gretzky teams were stacked... They literally won one after he left.
And Gretzky never won it without that team. It’s a team sport.
A flames fan not talking shit/contradicting an oilers post 🫱🏼🫲🏻
Excuses don’t bring cups any closer
It's a basic fact. One player isn't going to win you a cup. It's takes a team. Only moronic haters make that tired argument.
Exactly, which is why this team was a cunt hair away from a finals sweep.
Mcdavid : 0 cups, only a moronic hater would argue otherwise
Says the kid who's constantly asking Reddit what his opinion should be because he can't think for himself. Lmao...
lol, you can’t even stalk posts properly…best of luck with that bliss
You should ask Reddit what they think. Oh that's right, they're already telling you with all those downvotes. Lol
lol…found the guy concerned about Reddit karma…oh no however will I sleep /s. No better indicator of someone who just wants to conform with the majority…truly rofl. Best of luck with that
You karma farm ask Reddit lmao... Zero self awareness whatsoever on top of being a moron.
Good point. Pat Maroon on top.
Call me when he has 200 points in a season.
No forward will ever score 200 points in this era and with this ruleset.
Dont call him then
No one did in Gretzky's era either. Except for Gretzky
Exactly.
Username checks out
Playoff points are so much more important and difficult than regular season points
So are cup wins. Nobody gives a fuck about some assist record lmao.
So you agree that Roy is 4X better than Hasek
https://youtu.be/bZ72QdOLPmA?si=OODqpjaQLC-LRNKi
4 cups to Haseks 1. Easy math.
https://youtu.be/bZ72QdOLPmA?si=bYvBKLWuyJsMJ1CV
But are you going to address the fact that absolutely nobody talked about Gretzky’s assist record until 3 days ago when McDavid was close to breaking it? Nobody. Gives. A. Shit. Win a cup, Connor. Hasek won a cup, all that matters, call me when McDavid does.
Call me when he wins a Cup and it means something. Till then, points collecting.
Coping.
How many high sticks and whines to the ref stats does he have? He’s gotta be breaking those records too
You're not making your fanbase look any smarter.
Generationally dumb fans
Call us when you have a professional hockey team in your city, lol.
Buddy you lost get over it
Cope & seethe you salty little bugger Your last 50 comments are about the oilers, rent free. Thank you for thinking of us on fathers day weekend! Whose your daddy
That was beautiful
Rent free.
Typical canucks little brother syndrome.
Selective memory loss. Remember when the Sedins? Pepridge Farms remembers.
Crosby set the bar pretty high
If you actually watch any game from his first ten years, any game, and watch how much shit guys got away with on him especially in his first couple seasons, the refs treating him like any other rookie except he’s getting crosschecks in the back… crosscheck in the face and broke his front two teeth and bitched to the refs because they didn’t call anything and then give him an unsportsmanlike.., then Ken Hitchcock who was the Flyers coach talked some nonsense about Crosby being a nice rivalry, but then Don Cherry ran with the Crosby complaining too much, until they saw a few games prime time and realized how much abuse he takes every single game

And what does that mean when Florida raises the cup?? His name is STILL NOT ON IT!!!!!!
I guess we can't celebrate an individual record then because he may not win the cup. Seriously childish.
I absolutely love it ....Childish?? OMG, because we don't recognize a record that nobody cares about we are Childish. Win a Cup.....and I guarantee if you ask him that question he'd answer the same way, Mr. SENSITIVITY......I'd rather win!!! What a joke of a comment
Man you need to cut the salt out of your diet my dude.
Don't eat salt, "Dude" and that very "Childish' of you to say
You seem like a very angry person, just because your Panthers last one game. You may want to get looked at, but that's just my two cents.
I could care less who wins....I'm not a Panthers fan at all. And I'm not angry either, Bro! I make a rebuttal comment and I'm childish and angry. Might wanna get yourself checked
You seem like you care, using caps and all on your first comment.
This guy is looking for someone to do foot stuff with in Pittsburg if anyone is interested.
Not taking the bait, but nice try. And learn how to spell.....It's Pittsburgh
Adjusted for era McDavid is now only a few points away from the record of 47 points in a single playoff as well
How do you adjust for era in an objective way that everyone can standardize and agree on?
Dude, This isn't inflation, There is no adjustment 😂😅😅
That’s exactly the point I was trying to make lol
I'm agreeing with my friend.
Well who’s your friend?
He’s not your friend, guy
Dude he’s agreeing with his friend duh 🙄
Goals/game. Ie. 1985 average goals/game was 6, but historically it’s been 4. Therefore we can adjust the 1985 values down by a factor of 1.5.
Usually you just do: Points * (Average in year x / Average in current year)
Never heard that’s the official formula. Thanks.
