Still, even here in Pittsburgh are debating that because he was without a goal up until the goal before that one this season he may no longer be the "best player in the world."
Why is that even a thing? He's hardly playing like Eli Manning - or his brother Peyton during his final seasons.

McDavid needs to win a big game (i.e. playoff series) for him to take the title from Crosby. Playoffs aside, I think McDavid will lead the lead in scoring and he is the best player in the league but the Oilers will have to do something in the playoffs.
I feel very fortunate to have been able to watch Gretzky (my all time favorite player) and Crosby (2nd ever favorite player) to play ... on tv. I did see play Crosby twice in NJ but never Gretzky.
