11:30pm puck drop for me. Yeah, I'll be skipping this one.
Hoping for McDrai goala. I want 60 & 50 goals respectively. When was the last time a team had a 60 & 50 goal scorer in the same season?

As with every other question on when two teammates were last this good, the answer is the 1995-96 Pittsburgh Penguins. Mario Lemieux had 69-92-161 and Jaromir Jagr had 62-87-149.
Sportsnet could do another ridiculous comparison piece on the two teams if they wanted. Nugent-Hopkins would be in the Ron Francis role (27-92-119). Zach Hyman is Petr Nedved (45-54-99). Nurse becomes Sergei Zubov (11-55-66) and so on and so forth...
I think McDavid has his eyes set on 65 goals and 156 points. If he can get there on points, then he's outscored everyone in history not named Wayne or Mario. And goals - well, it is just a statement after all the fawning last year about Matthews hitting 60 and how impressive that really was (so impressive that they gave him the Hart over a guy who outscored him by 17 points!)

I figured that was probably the answer, but I was too lazy too look it up :D Thanks Adam!
