Lots of all-time offensive individual records within reach by Oiler players in the finals. McDavid, Draisaitl, Bouchard & Hyman. Any predictions?

He’s FANTASTIC against bad teams or in blow outs.

As opposed to Matthews who avoids the whole issue by just immediately choking as soon as the playoffs start.

Matthews isn't fantastic against either

You know that 3/4s of the league used to make the playoffs right?

And 16 of 32 is the lowest percentage of teams making the playoffs. So it's the hardest it's ever been.

Well the Oilers got their one game in to avoid a sweep, good for them

Looks like I was right again eh! Didn’t do JACK until the game was already over . Good thing he showed up when needed!

Too bad Matthews doesn't even get to show up at all

Seriously. The NHL introduced the 16 team playoff format when there were 21 teams. Only 5 teams missed the playoffs every year.

If you're whining about how easy it is to make the playoffs now... I mean, seriously, what the hell. Gretzky and co were routinely beating up on teams the same caliber as the Coyotes or Sabres in the 1st round.

I think the NHL will eventually change the playoff format and get more teams into the playoff.

FYI, The supposed best player for the 2024 playoffs (according to espn) is currently at home playing golf and admiring his FANTASTIC shoe collection.

Was that the guy who only scored 1 goal in the playoffs this year too?

I'm just sad that +3 game prevented Nurse from his single season playoff record.

What is the record for points in a final series?
that one must be in danger too

13. McDavid has 11.

At this point it would be silly for him not to win the Smythe even if Florida still wins. We all know he's been by far the best player in these playoffs breaking likely two records with a chance for more. Sure that's not how it's normally awarded, but he's lapping the field and may finish with double the points of anyone on Florida while playing a 200 foot game
