 Lots and lots and lots of example of players in small samples producing at absurd rates. Over 82 is a different deal entirely, particularly for rookies who tend to burn out a bit.

Well for sure anything could have happened over another 35 games. I'm not denying that, but NEB said Mcdavid wasn't even on pace to match Crosby's rookie season.
He was.
