  1. But did he win the cup that year?!?!?! (obvious sarcasm) Nobody is debating that he could carry a team. We are just saying it's silly that these players are willing their teams to cup victories with nobody around them.
  2. I don't understand how people say this. You do realize McDavid is a playmaker right? People literally up until last year were getting pissed at him for not shooting. He's a pass first player lol. What are all of you smoking?! https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/m/mcdavco01.html
  3. He was injured last year lol. Even though Drai put up the most points, even Oilers fans wouldn't dare say he was the best player on the team. He singlehandedly wins them games on a consistent basis. No other player has required as little help on his line as McDavid in the history of the game. He is so good that they literally keep Draisaitl off his line purposefully because he can carry his own line. They put him with third line players and he still puts up a ppg.
  4. No disagreement there. But I think years like that will be an anomoly and certainly arent likely to reoccur this season as we will be facing the same teams over and over. If we continue with this powerplay I don't see us cracking the top 12 this year. It becomes super predictable after you've seen it 5 times.
  5. Absolutely. But he's not making plays in the AHL because he's given an abundance of free time. He was making plays with guys dragged all over him, playing in tough areas, sniping, etc. He was pushed into a bottom line role last year and still produced at a crazy pace per toi.
  6. Not to mention people should just look up McDavid highlights and then utter the phrase "he doesn't make passes like a wizard" and try not to feel like an idiot. The guy makes some ridiculous passes all of the time. Half of his high lite reel plays are assists.
  7. If you did I think you'd understand the argument of using Mac in a bigger role. He can absolutely be a skill player. The guy has amazing finish. He's just never been put into a position to play that way.
  8. We absolutely feasted on teams like Detroit. Couldn't generate anything against teams that understood defense. Been that way ever since Newell has coached. He's the perfect PP coach against trash teams.
  9. It's the exact same powerplay we had literally since day 1 of last season. Nothing has changed.
  10. Good news is Edler finally figured out how to play 2 on 1's this season! He used to stay on his feet every time and now he drops down to cover more area.
  11. Hoglander the Great just went to Hoglander the Pretty Dagon Good after that play.
  12. Game is getting called via satellite by John and John. They're in Vancouver game is in Edmonton. Stupid set up.
  13. Guys I changed my tv's language settings to Japanese and now the audio is synced up. Weird.
