It's been a while.

In 2020 when Tampa won the cup after the sweep they started slow, but then they woke the hell up and played solid hockey down the stretch. They changed how they played and they were committed all season long. Right now I haven't seen enough "good" games from the Oilers.

They better wake up down the stretch here......

Is McDavid playing through an injury right now? When he took his turn raising the 4 Nations Cup, he barely lifted it up high, his left hand grip looked like he was using one finger and thumb (rather than a full grip), and when he handed it off to Makar, it was pretty awkward.

I think he was just embarrassed raising a cup like Stanley. How hard did he want to cheer. He won the game stuck it to the US...raising a cup like that felt awkward I'm sure

Not too much discussion about the Nuge but for a guy who is considered one of the "big five" how many times has he been a difference maker in Oiler games this season?

He has a kid now doesn’t he? He already played last year like hockey was the 4th most important thing on his mind. Now it’s 5th place. And it sucks because you know he doesn’t have another level to bring for playoffs either. This is the Nuge you get no matter the stakes.
