GDT: Game #55: Avalanche @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[Oilhawks]

Hitting not allowed?

No hit league

Only rats

 

[Kerberos]

Fair to say Drai is 2x the player McDavid is this season?

Huge discrepancy between the way both of them tilt the ice, drive their lines and produce.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Janmark is the PK specialist

 

[Cloned]

Offer McDavid the same contract as Drai because at this point he doesn’t deserve more

 

[BlackDogg]

Whats the penalty for?

for not being behind in the game anymore

HAve to hope McD is ailing and saving it for the playoffs.

A man can dream

He honestly shouldnt make much more TBH. Max 16

They work in tandem together. If he wants to build out a good team

 

[Messrules11]

Different game.

Different year, same game

 

[Dirty Mind]

What a physically-imposing beast. Reminds me of Forsberg but can score.

Carried an injury into playoffs last year that probably caught up to him in the end. Hopefully not the case this year.

 

[Canovin]

Make a trade for Dobson. Give him 8M x 7 years. If Bouchard wants more he can take an offer sheet

 

[McTedi]

Different year, same game

Apples and oranges different. The game has completely evolved since the 80s.

Never would of said it even with his Art Ross/Hart season but he's been the better player this year without a doubt

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Wah keeps me going? No, weed keeps me going.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This team doesn't quit, go win the 3rd

 

[Pip]

Imagine if you had this version of Drai with 60 goal McDavid

 

[McTedi]

Make a trade for Dobson. Give him 8M x 7 years. If Bouchard wants more he can take an offer sheet

Dobson skates and defends better, Bouch has better offensive instincts...most of the time

Yep but talk to any none oilers fan and they say “ Drai is only as good because of mcdavid” ignorance is off the charts

 

[Tobias Kahun]

What a physically-imposing beast. Reminds me of Forsberg but can score.

Forsberg was the strong man in the league on his skates until he needed to draw a penalty.

 

[Tarus]

Weird game tonight. Oilers look so out of sync, but it's still tied 4 - 4 due to the Ave's questionable depth and mediocre goaltending.

I was shocked when they showed the graphic that Mcdavid has 18 points in the last 9 games, I don't think I've ever seen him play worse during this last while outside of the start of last year when he was blatantly injured. Hell, this might be the first time I've seen a 4 on 4 start without both Drai and Mcdavid lined up together out there in a decade.

Glad Pickard came into the game though. He looks so much better than Skinner.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Have them both.

I think Nurse - Dobson would be money.

Give Nurse the first actual top 4 D man in his career to play with.

So you’re saying players don’t need to play hard every game? You lost me somewhere along the line.

 

[Oldoil]

Selke too

 

[Shanahanigans]

That Drai goal was made sweeter by the fact that he intercepted Mackinnon's pass to break up the play to start the rush, then dangled him to get the goal. The real MVP.

Fair to say the hyperbole about McDavid this season is off the charts...

This season, true games played, & vs goalies: (these numbers include tonight and assume McDaivd gets 0 pts)

McDavid 1.47 pts/game
Draisaitl 1.45 pts/game

And that includes how cursed McDavid has been with teammate finishing luck this year. He would have 15 more assists easily if he was running better.
