Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid already on pace for INSANE season

From the moment that he was drafted with the 1st overall selection by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2015 NHL Draft, folks everywhere knew that Connor McDavid had the potential to hit the ground running and soon become one of the top players in the world. 

Actually, we all knew that he was a special player even before his debut in the world's greatest hockey league. But the things that he's accomplished on the ice in such a short time often requires one to sit back and fully examine their sheer magnitude in order to fully appreciate it. 

Already having enjoyed some of the greatest players in NHL history, fans of the Edmonton Oilers are now being treated to the privilege of watching the top player in today's game - bar none. And while that's not meant as a slight to any of the other tremendously talented players in hockey today, there's simply no comparison.

Despite the 56-game shortened NHL Season (owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), McDavid ran away with the NHL scoring title at a pace that had to be seen to be believed. He recorded an astonishing 33 goals and 69 assists for a grand total of 102 points - in 54 games played. But unfortunately, that torrid offensive output didn't continue into the playoffs, as he tallied only a single goal and four points as the Oilers were stunned by the rival Winnipeg Jets in four straight games. 

However, he's picked up right where he left off last season. So far through four games in 2021-22, McDavid has tallied six goals with five assists. He's now on pace for 225 points.

This McDavid guy is pretty good at hockey, yeah?
