Mark Spector article, for anyone who doesn't want to give him the clicks.
Basically, he's saying McDavid's doing Gretzky-like things if he hits 100 in 56 games. Points out that the most points in a 56-game stretch is of course Gretzky - with 153 in both 1983-84 and 84-85. But Gretz brings it back home, pointing out that it's a lot harder to get points these days...
Which brings me back to those games where McDavid basically got benched because he was dummying Ottawa and Calgary earlier in the year. If he finishes with, say, 98 points then it's too bad he got sat in those games.
He'll of course say the right thing - that it's the playoffs that he's concerned about and that it's not that big a deal, because they're moving on to the post-season, but it would be a little too bad if the tendency to call off the dogs costs him that recognition.
Well, that and a total inability for him and Draisaitl to figure out how to put pucks in empty nets...
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
