Connor McDavid has officially broken the era adjusted points record (44) in a single playoffs.
With 2 potential games to play, he could put some serious distance on it.
McDavid also has the era adjusted assist mark (36) by 8(!) over Gretzky (30 in 1987).
for nearly every athlete in the universe this would EASILY be the most magical moment of their career.

Era adjusted, he's up to 1,414 points (21st) despite all the injuries.

Happy Birthday to Evgeni Malkin. I was in attendance for this game, D20 I believe. One of the loudest reactions I’ve ever heard in that arena. One of my favorite goals in team history.

SIDNEY CROSBY will become the 90th forward in

Era adjusted, only GRETZKY has both lasted longer & been more productive. Sid's lead on everyone else w/1,200+ games is significant.
"He's an unbelievable athlete. He's an incredible teammate. He's been the heartbeat of the Penguins for a long time and he continues to be."
Sidney Crosby isn't slowing down as he hits his 1,200th game.

Don't think there's enough national attention around how good Sidney Crosby has been this season. He's on an almost 50-goal pace and has the most 5v5 points in the league. As far as I'm concerned, he's one of, if not the top favorite for the Hart right now.

🎂 On his 37th(!) birthday,
#LetsGoPens
SIDNEY CROSBY has continued to mystify Father Time -- a human metronome of excellence for 19 years.
I wrote about Sid's hockey life & place among the greatest to ever do it
@DailyFaceoff
earlier this year. Enjoy:
Our captain.
Our role model.
Our ultimate competitor.
Happy birthday, Sid! 🎉

Glad you asked, Frank. Under my
#HHOF
methodology, Spezza (227) is just < standard (235). He is in a HHOF borderline group with Kessel, Marleau, Staal (all four are 227 or 226).
There are many forwards ahead of these 4 elite guys, so all have uphill climbs right now!

The number of wow moments in my research for the Jagr article was something else. Was hard to pick best ones.
FAVOURITE: he scored 27 goals both when he was 5 years YOUNGER than Cole Caufield today & 5 years OLDER than Ovechkin is today. That’s age 18 and 43.

@reporterchris
The Leafs added low-skill, hard-nosed players the last 2 years & scored 22 goals in 12 games against the Panthers & Bruins (1.8 per game) in getting eliminated.
They allowed only 4 goals in 3 must-win games this year to end the season.
They need to move *AWAY* from skill?

@ProducerDrew_
Some of the complaints are around the fact the Leafs/Lightning first round is locked in already.
Under an actual 1-8, any combination of teams 2-6 could have a different opponent & would be incentivized to rise in the standings.
Current "exciting" format is actually boring :)

Whether your idea of a Hall of Famer or not,
#LeafsForever
JOHN TAVARES is easily above the existing standard.
A 2x MVP finalist, JT's the Kariya or Hawerchuk of his era statistically -- players most consider easy calls. Averaging 31 goals the last 3 yrs, he's also not done yet.

Easily lost in the cycle of 1⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ game celebrations is how *rare* these careers are.
Eberle & JVR aren't going to the Hall of Fame. But there's been 5,000+ forwards in
#NHL
history... Eberle is Top 300.
That's the upper 5-6% of careers in 🌎's most exclusive hockey league 👏
Jordan Eberle is expected to play in his 1,000th regular-season NHL game tonight against the Golden Knights.
Originally selected by the Oilers with the 22nd-overall pick of the 2008 NHL Draft, Eberle is set to become the fifth player from his draft class to reach the 1,000 game

Perry is decimals from the Qualified tier by the numbers. An MVP & a reputation as a nightmare to play against, he still faces an uphill battle given the many great forwards ahead of him. Should be a fun & polarizing case one day!
