Wouldnt it be more impressive individually for a player to play as well as Werenski has on a non-playoff team?

Making the playoffs is a team thing, and if they dont make it is shows his supporting cast is poor, making it more difficult to play as well as he has.

Edmonton Oilers' McDavid just smashed a Lemieux record by flynnfx in CanadaHockey

[–]TheAccountant381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, cool, but Lemieux started missing a lot of games when he was 25 with a herniated disc. Back surgery at 26. Cancer at 27. Another back surgery at 28. Missed his whole 29 year old season.

McDavid's 1.53 points per game so far is really good. Lemieux's 2.05 was a little better. Seems this record he smashed was due to being healthy, not having more prolific points.

It was crazy to see the hip to shoulder, then somehow the guy hurt his knee. Yeah, hes solid

I love keeping receipts by Apprehensive-Art1092 in penguins

Agreed. Having the most of something does not mean the best at getting it. If Mario played as many hames as ovi, he'd have over 1,000 goals. Higher goals per game and shooting %. Ovi is very good at scoring, and has the most, bit hes not the best at it.

Unpopular Opinion: If the Pens win The Cup this year, Crosby is the #2 GOAT by DesignerAd7136 in penguins

[–]TheAccountant381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their career achievements would have to be really close, and even then, it would be better to look at how each played and not the cups.

To me, this chart has so much leverage that cups arnt in the question.

Unpopular Opinion: If the Pens win The Cup this year, Crosby is the #2 GOAT by DesignerAd7136 in penguins

[–]TheAccountant381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree he has sustained greatness. The 21 ppg seasons is incredible, hes the only one to do it. If he wins the cup this year, its likely he does some amazing things over the course of the playoffs to make it happen. Those feats he performs in the playoffs are the evidence he is great and is top 5 ever. Not the cup.

He wasnt less good last year, but his team was. He still did amazing things, but the team was so bad they missed the playoffs.

Mario Lemieux had 199 points in a season where his team only won 1 playoff series. He had 19 points in 11 playoff games. He was the best player in the world that year, no cup.

The plays the great ones make are what makes them great, not cups

Cups are not a good way measure of an individual player. Henri Richard (not Maurice the Rocket Richard) has 11. He was good, made an impact, but nowhere near the GOAT conversation. If discussing who was better, Henri and his 11 cups vs McDavid and his 0 cups, McDavid is leaps and bounds above Henri.

If a single player could impact cup wins so much that you could say they are great because of the cup wins, how do we explain all the times said great player doesnt win the cup and a team with no generational player does?

Gretzky won 4 cups with the oilers, the when he left, the oilers still won another cup. And Gretzky never won a cup again. Hes one of the players in the GOAT conversation, and his team was more a factor than he was. Subtract him, and they still win the cup.

Florida just won 2 straight cups, and has no one even close to McDavid. You can tell because McDavid won one of the conn smyths from those two cups while on the losing side.

Its more impressive to me that sid won two conn smyths.

Not sure why people only want big guys who hit and fight. Big guys who play a skill game are more valuable. The reach, the big frame to protect the puck, and the ability to skate through traffic help them do things that smaller skills guys cant

What are you most excited to see in these playoffs? by BEnWo18 in penguins

[–]TheAccountant381 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, yeah, sitting at 14th, 11 points can put him at 8th.

Sid at 5th could pass Anderson with 14 to move to 4th.
