Goaltending controversy brewing?

We all know Connor Mcdavid is good, the best in the game as most would say. But we get to see him play every game as Oilers fans and it’s easy to take him for granted because of that.

Sometimes it’s fun to just step back and take a look at just how good he is.

Right now he’s producing 1.86 PPG. That projects out to 153 points for him if he stays healthy this season for all 82 games. That’s absolutely phenomenal.

It’s also worth noting that he has 31 goals already. By December 3 he had already cracked the 20-goal mark. Think about that for a minute – we were barely a quarter of the way through the season and Mcdavid had already scored more than a lot of NHL players do all season. That is absolutely fantastic. Personally, I can’t wait to see how he’ll do the rest of the season. With a win against Seattle tonight the Oilers could move into third in the division – and with the Flames and Kraken both coming back down the earth as of late the Oilers just might be able to stay there if they play their cards right. He’s even outscoring last season’s MVP Auston Matthews, who only has 17 goals right now – that’s almost a ratio of 2:1.

The scary thing – for the rest of the league anyway – is Mcdavid just started his prime producing years last season so there’ll be many years of him to come.

Cheers to Connor Mcdavid – keep doing you and we’ll keep watching it.
