Yeah I think the booze in my system is letting the "fan of the game" win out over the "fan of the team" right now, but I really feel privileged to have seen McDavid do his thing live. And I'd argue that probably wasn't his best either. But no rose colored glasses on you see the way he controls the game and there's no question to anyone objective who the best hockey player in the world is right now.

I did feel like Vegas marked Drai pretty well tonight as one of the few positives but 97 was always a stomach sinking threat. Every time he had the puck. Doesn't matter if he's on the opposing team. It's a beautiful thing to watch him play the sport.
Right? It's all just entertainment at the end of the day.

And likely to go 6 or 7 imo. Far from over. See you at the next one!
 
They are great, and knowing no one will get Thick'd again..... at least we know when we get to heaven he would have already looted place.... and got reunited with Cooter.
Hahaha, ah man so true.

My first exposure to them was their Valheim supercut and I was completely hooked. Binged basically the entire channel after that lol.

So good.

I live in Vegas and went to the game as a common spectator (but rooting for the oilers). VGK Fans Are Just the worst

Now obviously everyone in here is like 100 times more knowledgeable than the average attendee, but man, it was painful being in there with some of them (all of whom left after the fifth goal)

Really hope Oilers pull this one out
 
Oilers looked good but just remember, the last team to win 5-1 in Vegas in the playoffs lost the next 4 straight.
The last team didn't have any push back according to their coach, the Oilers do. They played their worst in game 1 while Vegas played their best and it was still a 1 goal game until the empty netter. Oilers are a scary good team when they get motivation and their star power is undeniable.
 
Not really, the ES stats are really close. Vegas leads in shots by 6 and has 2 less scoring chances, 1 less high danger chance.
This is a great example of people not being able to apply context to advanced stats.

The oilers had their second pp unit start the pp in the third. The game was over before the period started and advanced stats in garage time of a blowout are a poor indicator of anything.

Kane should have fought there in the 3rd

Weasel like
Why does he have to fight at the end of a blowout to make the other team feel better about themselves? That is nonsensical.

If there are players in that game that need to answer for something, it would be the ones on the home side. I mean, Hyman had to fight for taking a hit to the head.
 
I used to give Draisaitl a lot of crap - but I think he's now pretty much cemented himself as the #2 after McDavid.

Top 3 are very clearly McDavid, Drai, MacK

As a Leaf fan, hurts to say this, but Matthews isnt at the level of the other 3, at least this season/playoffs
