All about perception and the right angle to prove a point.

I am not going to watch hockey for the rest of the season. Spare me from the McDavid highlights.

Saltier than the sea in here. You all need to chill. It's supposed to be fun.

I guess money doesn't buy u everything.  It does however buy u a suit that doesn't fit and shoes that make u look like a penguin apparently.

As great as McDavid is, this really exposes how bad of a team we are.

Yup, but they all check the great intangibles and nostalgic boxes - good chance JB will try to sign them.  I like Torontos' approach better - signing former first line players to short & cheap contracts that can still make some on ice contributions: Thornton & Spezza (700k a year).  If I was GM, I would be going after these players to mentor/shelter my young core at very cap friendly deals.

exactly  plus we need a trent frederic  and a young wayne simmonds on this team and a big hitter like zadorov on our dcore 

[Smashian Kassian]

Just end this season already...

Good points but preferably, I prefer a team approach due to the cap and the rules: were even our top players are able to protect themselves at the very least - screw the Zebras cause this should be all about sending a message and winning the cup.

 

Imo, we have a player that fills that role and is capable of scoring as well -  Big Zac; he is just being miscasted and not giving a legit chance to play - imo.

Smith will regress and there goalie issues will be back to bring them back to chasing the lottery cup.

McDavid and the soilers can kiss my ass. I hope they and the laffs get destroyed in the first round, but Montreal and Winnipeg are also trash.

The North division is full of cup pretenders

100 points for Mc is a great accomplishment.

 

 Where do you put him in the context of the all time greats?

 

Imho he’s not 99 or 66 calibre.  Those guys saw the ice at a 4d chess level. 
 

This might sound biased, but im hoping some  of the old timers chime in.

 

 If you wondered what prime Pavel Bure or Teemu Selanne would look like with no two line off side, no clutching and grabbing and no opposing goons trying to make a name for themselves by taking their head off every game I think McDavid is an accurate projection. Bure and Selanne were absolute rockets, and sublime one on one players.  
 

Maybe McDavid is better than those two, but I think he’s closer(whether above or below) to the echelon of players that include the  likes of Bure than he is to the likes of Gretzky / Lemieux. 

 

Yeah yeah, the d men now a days are far quicker and more dynamic but what would prime Bure or Selanne do to an Alex Edler for example? 
 

Goalies are far bigger and better too, but selanne scored 76 as a rookie, I can’t imagine him not scoring 40-50 today. 
 

Mc also has the luxury of playing with arguably the second best player right now.  Something Bure never had the luxury of doing..

 

Mcdavid will prob go down as the best of his generation but  not sure he will be the goat when it’s all said and done.

Cheech is one of the biggest homers in the game lol. Shorty is absolutely fantastic at being neutral though. Pure class. 

They are also Canucks broadcasters, not national.
