    Vegas had 28 blocked shots, Edmonton had 14.  So double.  One team played actual playoff hockey, doing all the dirty things to win, the other team was running around trying to get the other team to take a penalty.  

     

    Without that PP, McDavid is not even better than Petey.  He is a huge benefactor of the way the Oilers play.  If Petey was playing shinny hockey every game and was on that PP, he'd also get 150 points.  Look at RNH.  He's a 100-point player with that PP.  Without it, he's barely getting 50 points.  RNH got 47 points this year at even strength.  Petey had 68.  McDavid had 75.  Draisaitl had 64.  Petey actually had more even strength points this year than Draisaitl and only 7 less than McDavid.  Think about that for a minute.  

    This 100%. McDavid and Draisaitl are great in the offensive zone, but there is a reason they put up so many points compared to other players, and it's not because they are in another league, it's due to how they and the team play.

    I just read an article on theScore about how they could be setting new records in the cap era if they can win a cup due to their Points per game. When Crosby was younger, he could've put up way more points if he wanted to, but he knew he had to play a different style to actually win and be successful. McDavid won't win until he realizes that. Everyone says McDavid is the greatest player to play in a long time, but to me he doesn't compare to Crosby.

    I really don't get this take, and I've seen it again and again.  He's an Edmonton guy doing a broadcast in Canada.  How many Vegas fans are watching a Canadian feed?  If Vancouver made it to the playoffs and John/John were able to do that series, nobody here would mind Garrett being a Canucks homer.  

    To me it's not even the Edmonton homerism, though he does take that pretty far. I just can't stand the way he calls a game, and find him super annoying.
