Not on the topic of the Rangers, but McDavid is the best player I have seen come into the league in a long, long time. I don't think he will in this day in age, but I wonder if he could score 70+ goals.

He is a joy to watch that for sure. His speed WITH the puck is off the charts. On his second goal last night it looked like he was shot out of a cannon, 70 is a TOUGH number I'd love to see him break 60. The last person to do that was Stamkos in 2012
65 was Ovie in 2008
Those are lofty goals! Would bring some nice attention to the sport too.

On NHL radio this morning, they said he was clocked at 41 KPH on that one (25.4MPH). Crazy

Maybe... Maybe, but he is also more of a setup guy than a goal scorer as well.
Granted a setup guy that scored 30 last year but he had 70 assists
He's not like an Ovie or Stamkos who are shoot first guys.
Then again Gretzky was a setup guy as well, except he was 20 years ahead of the game, so when everyone else is two steps behind you mentally you can pot quite a few goals.
But Nowadays.... I think 65/70 is a VERY high ceiling.

- MiloslavHorava


I do agree with you, but what did Gretzky have in that season? 92 goals and 215 points? It ain't happening today, I am completely with you on that, but if you adjust the statistics to today's standards, I think McDavid could produce like Gretzky or close to it.

I know he's young and the whole comparison is a bit absurd at this point, but I actually believe it.

Chytil didn't play in the last year, was 17. Burp.

I don't think it's possible in today's game, but if you transported him back in time to the late 80s/early 90s, I think he could give Gretzky's record a run.
- Pete V

Nobody skated like him then. That's what is insane. He can build up a high rate of speed and carry it through the offensive zone.

Matt Duchene is expected to play for Colorado on a line with Yakupov and Kerfoot tonight at MSG. Didn't think it would happen, but here we are.

Chytil will have a 3 point game. Your prediction is invalid.

Was going to switch Chytil for Vesey, because rookies always score their 1st goal in their 1st game, but I'm sticking to my guns

Let's have a good showing from the Avs tonight. Get Duchene out there and have him send his price sky-high. Like Josh-Bailey-AND-a-conditional-3rd-round-pick-in-2021 sky-high!
