Connor McDavid is now genuinely the greatest hockey player of all time
There’s literally no debate anymore

🔥 What’s most incredible about 97’s start is that all of these #NHL seasons were from eras with 7 to 8 goals/game.
In the case of Babe Dye, teams only had 8 skaters…
McDavid is doing this in a 6 goal/game league — and the #LetsGoOilers power play hasn’t heated up yet 🤯
Most points - First 8 team GP of a season:
31- Mario Lemieux (1988-89)
27- Lemieux (1992-93)
24-Babe Dye (1922-23)
23- @EdmontonOilers Connor McDavid (2026-27 via 5 tonight)
23- Marcel Dionne (1979-80)
23- Mike Bossy (1984-85)
23-Wayne Gretzky (‘84-85)
23- Brent Sutter (‘84-85)

Are people still shocked when McDavid has a 5 point night?
When he retires he will go down as the best player of all time.
Right now he is the best individual player of all time. Easy
This isn’t recency bias or a knock on eras. He will win a Stanley Cup.
It is what it is❤️

CONNOR MCDAVID IS PUTTING UP VIDEO GAME NUMBERS 🎮🔥
McDavid’s 23 points through eight games are tied for the fourth-most in NHL history to start a season. The only players who have scored more in that span: Mario Lemieux and Babe Dye. 🤯

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is off to an ABSOLUTELY INSANE start to the season!
23 POINTS IN JUST 8 GAMES!
Oilers Head Coach Mike Babcock also pointed out that McDavid is an incredible +19 on the season!

After his 16th career five-point game, Connor McDavid has opened the season with an eight-game point streak, totalling 23 points. Fastest to 20 since Mario Lemieux in 1995-96. On pace for 240+. Annihilated the opposition 18-2 at five-on-five. Expected goals hovering around 70%.
Unreal.

Watching McDavid’s 5-point game last night was pure, uncut, inject it in my veins joy of hockey stuff. The speed, the vision, the offense and the defense to set up the offense. Few others in NHL history had his casual perfection.

Here’s a quick breakdown.
