I don't think home ice will help them. My point being, last night was an effort problem. Not sure location change fixes that.
If they win both, I'd be stunned.
Hypothetical - does McDavid win the Conn Smythe even if Oilers lose the cup? Assuming he has an above average finals

Its been 2 games and don't give me this BS. G1 clearly was stolen by Bob. You play the first 2 games 100 times Oilers win that game 80 times at least. Edmonton is far from dead.
What were you thinking in 2011 when Boston came back 0-2 and Horton was layed out early in G3?
Well how was there not an effort problem in G1 from Florida? That game easily could have been a blowout early, very similar to G2 with Vegas last year.
Ill go on record that Bob will not come close to another game like that in the series.
Why will you be stunned? McDavid and Drai are certainly capable of breaking thru
2 games in a row.
Who is talking about panicking? People writing off Edmonton are engaging in wishful
thinking. Florida didn't put consecutive beat downs on Edmonton.

Edmonton better hope Barkov is out, because the greatest duo in the world has been a dud so far.

Barkov isn't proving anything on the big stage, his "defence" is slashing guys in the hands LOL. Hasn't impressed at all.

Neither is McDavid, and all Draisaitl has proven this series is that he can dive, complain and cheap shot.

McDavid has already cemented his legacy as a top five player of all time.

Good for him. I guess that gives him every right to take this series off and put in no effort.

For the people who only value peak - the Bobby Orr crowd - this ought to be true.
For people who emphasize total career value, he's not even close to top 5 at the moment.

I thought this was going to be his series. That's what I was told anyway.

He's incredible. So thankful to be among the chosen ones who get to watch him play for our team.
I've seen guys that aren't top five hundred impress significantly more when it counts most. The last few years McDavid has definitely improved his previously abysmal playoff reputation, but now is his chance to show that he's also an all-time great. So far there's no sign of that.

Enjoy watching him play for 2 more games.
Will you also enjoy the cup being lifted by the opposing team in your own barn?

Tom Brady 4-3 in SBs without Patriot cheating
McDavid has been a no show so far in games 1 and 2.

I'm too old for this.
Only the NHL awards the playoff MVP for the entire playoffs, and not just the final series.

The majority of fans disagree with you.
Not as much as I enjoy watching the Leafs tire fire every year...

Jesus Christ what is in the water in Edmonton?
Lemieux, Crosby, Yzerman, Bossy, Roy, Hasek, Orr, …..
A legacy is more than skating fast and putting up points.

Jealousy is real
I don't think anyone's jealous of the way the Oilers have played in this series.
