Get Draisaitl and McDavid some help

[JungleBeat]

Every other shift they are on the ice creating chances and have bums around them.

Well they have already gone farther than 24 other teams....

You'd notice other Oilers if those two weren't so selfish with the puck and blowing the zone for offense.

"two man team"

McDavid and Draisaitl do have help, each other. It's on them and the coaching staff for killing the teams depth.

What is this thread??

They have help, their names are Ekholm and Bouchard.

Unfortunately the rest of their forwards get to play with Nurse and Ceci who I'm convinced both believe hockey pucks are actually grenades.

 

[Gnome17]

Il get right on that

 

[GhostfaceWu]

cant lose with dignity. shocked.

 

[Duke749]

Guess Hyman doesn’t count

[Coach Parker]

Wait, don't they have a 57 goal-scorer, another 100 point C, a playoff clutch agitator AND a power forward with a man streak as well as a snipe when he's motivated?

I'm sorry, but I take a look at this thread any reply:

The money is spent and no help is coming. Gotta win with what they've got.

B…b…but, I thought they were “the greatest since Gretzky”

Truly great players don’t need help.

Daily reminder that the Oilers could have Johnston right now but their head scout ignored the guys in the org who were pushing for him. Pretty sure he'd be doing okay out there with McDavid or Draisaitl.

Hyman's good.

RNH turns into a ghost every playoffs.

Perry and Kane are both done. Perry's like 80 and Kane hasn't had a shot since his wrist injury.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Too many terrible contracts.

 

[TheNumber4]

Weird. I thought giving McDrai the second best goal scorer in the league was help. Thought giving them two defenceman better than any defencema the Nucks have is also giving them help. Bottom lines didn’t create tonight, but if you know hockey it’s not all about production, they contribute to the best PK in the playoffs and play a very responsible defensive game. Hockey is played at both ends of the ice.

I know what the original thread was.

I was being even more sarcastic.

Well said.

You don't get gold stars for terrible takes, sorry.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

No

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

They were definitely a 1 line team tonight but it worked, they were in on every goal.

If they can play 25-30 mins then you get a saw off or close too it in the other mins it's not the worst strategy, so long as they can maintain it all playoffs long.

Can you imagine the Oilers with Swayman and Ullmark?

 

[Javaman]

Teams always play to maximize the roster they have. If playing McDrai 25+ minutes a night leads to playoff wins, then that's a defensible strategy.

The bigger issue is if that leads to either of McDavid or Draisaitl getting worn down to the point where they get injured or can't perform at a high enough level to drag their team to victory.
