Hockey world celebrates Connor McDavid's historic 100-point season

May 09, 2021 - 2:12am

Watch as Connor McDavid reaches 100 points with an assist on a Leon Draisaitl goal.

It’s official: Connor McDavid has reached 100 points in only 53 games.

With four points in Saturday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks, it was a power play assist on a Leon Draisaitl goal that allowed the Edmonton Oilers captain to reach the century mark.

Not since the early 1990s when Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Jaromir Jagr were rewriting the record books have we seen a season like the one McDavid has put together.

With the hockey world in awe of such an accomplishment during a pandemic-shortened season, fans took to social media to celebrate the impressive feat.

What a time to be an Oiler fan. Honestly. Have witnessed so many Oilers moments, but was too young to appreciate. Tonight, I appreciate. The 06 run was amazing, unforgettable, but tonight watching McDavid get 100 is a legend we all will share #generational #sharedhistory

On April 17th, Connor McDavid had 69 points in 42 games heading into a matchup against the Jets.

Tonight, he reached 100 in 53.

That’s 31 points (9G, 22A) in his last 11 games (which includes one night where he was held off the scoresheet vs. Calgary).

Generational. #Oilers

Remember. McDavid has no ACL and opted for no surgery. He’s a bionic man. #letsgooilers

All hyperbole aside, how lucky are folks of my generation to have seen Gretzky and McDavid play? Truly incredible and blessed for the opportunity to even witness this magic. https://t.co/bzuBB3gctQ

As someone old enough to have seen Gretzky and Lemieux at their peak, appreciate being a fan in the McDavid era. It won’t last forever, but you’ll be telling stories about this guy for decades.
