Avs fans really seem to have to utmost respect and admiration for the absolute accuracy of the DOPS and NHL referees.

Not the former but the latter, yeah that's why we pay them off. We are the refalanche afterall. We do our best to issue a check for every game but sometimes it doesn't clear since some people have bills and stuff. Sheesh, refs are expensive

There is exactly 2 other dmen in this entire league on Makar's level and those guys are in the ECF. Also playing on even terms=/=exactly match. Colorado has no match for McDavid ability wise either (lets not pretend MacKinnon is on his level) you just need to make it close enough to stand a chance which MacKinnon can do. Nurse played fine into Colorado's top line and top pairing in the regular season and now he looks like a rich man's Esa Lindell.

How is he whining?

Every single d partner Lindell gets partnered with does better away from him in most years.

I don't think it is outside the realm of possibility that some GMs would not pick McDavid first if there was a complete redraft of all NHL players both with cap considerations and without. I think he'd always be on the short list though of consideration for number 1 because he is a prolific scorer and the best driver of offense in the league right now, but there is a reason he usually doesn't get votes for the Selke. I would consider players like Barkov, Matthews, MacKinnon and few others so it's not completely ubsurd to say some people would value a better all around game better or a sniper like Matthews before McDavid, and there are as many as 5 of them one being on his team.

It is absolutely ridiculous to assume a single GM would pick ANY single forward over McDavid. The one single tiny knock he had against him was the stupid “cont perform in the playoffs” which now goes out the window.

The only, and I mean only reason, a GM would eve pick someone else is if a GM wants to build D first and picks Makar. That would also be a stupid decision though.

Is that what the Avs were the last 3 years too?

Personally, never had much expectations of the Oilers. No experience this deep. Just need a couple more pieces and experience.
 
Game 1 : a non offside goal
Game 2 : a non predatory hit
Game 3 : TBD

What shall we be in store for tomorrow

This was huge for the oilers regardless of outcome. Winning the battle of Alberta is going to be huge for the franchise moving forward. Series is still far from over too.

If that's you in the red circle, then who am I speaking to now?
 
Are fans who's team are out of the playoffs even allowed to talk shit about Teams that are still in or is that an automatic jinx according to HFrules

Love that, he skates and accelerates faster in any direction than most skaters can going forward

It's really a joy to watch Makar skate.
I love this series just for the raw abilities many players in it have. Hoping the oilers can tighten up their game somehow to make it a bit more interesting

Expect the Oilers to come out like crazy for game 3 with home-crowd.... Let´s see how the AVS can weather the storm.....A split in Edmonton should be the goal. I don´t see a sweep.

Most likely, however if the Avs win tonight then a sweep is a very real possibility
