I wish Singh would lose his voice, so that this series wouldn't be so painful to watch.

Gretzky thought the game 5 steps of everyone else.  By the time he got into the offensive zone he already knew what to do.  In contrast, McDavid basically flies in with his speed and tries to figure it out later.  Two completely different players. McDavid’s passes are also picked off quite a bit. Gretzky’s passes were right on the money every time.  

 

Without that speed McDavid is not even a top 10 player in the league.  I would say once loses a step he will regress substantially…

Completely agree. I See McDavid as a better passing version of Bure.. imagine if Bure and guys like Selanne had no two line off side and the no clutch and grab/ interference  rules

My god the Oilers cap structure is way too top heavy when they have to sign and play this guy.

Kudos for the goalie for pushing the Oiler player away.

Draisaitl to break the curse

That’s a pretty silly argument. McDavid’s freakish ability doesn’t come from his speed but his ability to do things at a full head of steam that most players need to open up and slow down to execute. The difference between McDavid’s speed and other elite players is hundredths of a second. Saying “take away his speed and we won’t be top 10” is like saying take away Petey’s awareness and he won’t be top 10.

McDavid couldn’t hold Gretzky’s jockstrap.  Without a power play McDavid is not even on Petey’s level…

This is so true. Gretzky was a magician. Period.
