Draisaitl and Mcdavid are like watching prime Jordan.

Did you see that play when McDavid beat out the Stars for the puck and skated it out like he was carving hot butter. No player in the league makes winning 1 on 1s look so easy due to his speed.

What a resume of fail

Are you talking about the play maybe 7-8 minutes in where he took the puck inside out, got around the defender and got a shot off? If so, that was pretty sick. TBH, I was half paying attention initially and wondered who pulled that move off. When they showed the replay, I said to myself, “of course it was McD”

There was that one... And another one just a bit later. Hes ridiculous.

And as I write this he almost got a wraparound goal and then a brilliant Hutson like cross ice pass.

He is f***ing ridiculous.

He is f***ing ridiculous.

and whoever that pass was to, wasn't ready for it bc it was unexpected, and thus bobbled the shot

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Seguin > Draisaitl.

 

[Andrei79]

Ugh... Seguin breakaway goal after all that domination by Edmonton.

 

[No More Subban]

Nice giveaway by Drai

 

[dinodebino]

You won't last long on this board with posts like that. Grow up.

This is when Lord Chezz’ famous line would be required.

[JianYang]

Kulak got shafted on that penalty call.

How interesting that Robertson-Johnston- Duchene line is -31 this postseason lol..

Offensive talent can only take you so far really..

That's a stat I didn't expect...

Duchene has been trash and Robertson is clearly injured still.

 

[Rapala]

Draisaitl and McDavid are not human.

I remember thinking posters were insane when they claimed he was overpaid after his first contract, before he truly broke out. Then all that shit about Matthews not only being better than Draisaitl, but better than McDavid (LOL).

Draisaitl is in that conversation for second best forward in the league. The shortlist is small, it's basically him, MacKinnon and Barkov, with Kucherov close behind but Kuch neglects his defensive duties too much compared to those three.

Draisaitl looks healthier than he's been at this stage in the past two post seasons.
His skating alone is a huge tip off.

Never understood the people who look at duchene as a potential option at 2C.

Maybe just looking at goals and assists columns without contextualizing.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Last year he could barely move around by this point. This year, only McDavid looks faster.

 

[Andrei79]

Ugh, Skinner's puck tracking...

 

[JianYang]

Stars score on a brutal penalty call.

 

[Andrei79]

God the refs are awful.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

This is more like Skinner we know

Is Steele okay?

Guy acted like he was decapitated

That was a heck of a shot though.
