Colorado must either be soft or possess the puck a lot.

Bingo. Here's a look at CF% (Corsi rating for even strength puck possession). Ain't even close Colorado runs away with it.

Colorado 58.5
Carolina 53.5
Florida 53.4
Boston 53.3
Vegas 53.1

Toronto is 50.6 if anyone's curious.

McDavid has 87 pts in 49 games, a 1.77 pts per game, that's insane, rated for an 82 game season he would finish with 145 pts. But take into account that all his games are played in the North division, in a normal 82 game season where he has to play some stronger American teams, let's estimate he would finish with 128 pts.

There is no objective way to know which teams are better since they A)don't play each other and B)have no common opponents. The only comparisons can be done within a division.

True for this season but in regular times in a regular NHL season McDavid I estimate he would finish with about 120-128 pts, instead of 145 pts.

He and the Oilers would get to play teams like Buffalo, Detroit, Anaheim, San Jose, and New Jersey as well, right?

Yes but also play good teams like Vegas, Colorado, Minnesota, Carolina, Tampa, Florida, Washington, Boston, Pittsburgh, NYI (who play stingy defense). No surprise MacDavid feasted on the Kings, Sharks. Surprisingly, McDavid hasn't feasted on the Red Wings or Sabres but still a point per game avg. McDavid has to be my 2nd favorite player after Matthews. McDavid (career) vs team stats below.

Tom Wilson continues to do Tom Wilson things.....

 

[shack]

He seems somewhat unhinged.

wow, just a fine for wilson?

What a joke.

On Twitter today, a trending topic was Todd Bertuzzi (and comparing his actions to Wilson's).

Game tomorrow Caps/Rangers.

They are also disappointed with the President and GM as they fire John Davidson and Jeff Gorton.

McDavid scores 100 pts in 53 games, that's 1.89 pts/game no one in the NHL had that scoring rate since the Lemieux/Gretzky era.

That only converts to about 80 points in American.

Ya but the American dollar dropped.

Round 1:
Washington/Boston
Florida/TB
Both look to be excellent matchups.
Wild vs either Vegas or Colorado would be good also.

 

[glamphotographer]

Leafs vs Habs (first time since 1979 and HHOF Bob Gainey)
Oilers vs Jets

The battle for the Canada Cup starts tonight with Oilers vs Jets.
