Rewatching the game... McDavid shorty was the killer for VGK.
What an unbelievable one handed effort eh? Not a fan of either team but that goal was a thing of beauty

Let's also accept that this guy is head and shoulders above most in league if not historically in terms of skill compositon. Let's knock off the idiotic Eichel jive comparing him to McDavid. Eichel is a nice player. McDavid is a living legend
 
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
For non TML fans Matthews was never a top 3 player ever.
 
If the Oilers manage to win the cup this year, I'm sure they'll request that Mark Scheifele gets his name engraved.
See this is why it's veryyyy hard to cheer for another Canadian team in the playoffs, especially when your favorite team gets eliminated. I want the Oilers to beat Vegas why the hell wouldn't I? Vegas beat us when we were on a roll in 2018, then of course we sneak in and same crap this year (even though many players you can tell have checked out from this team). I'm cheering for the Oilers, I had them vs Boston in the finals, now with no more Boston, I think your path is to hoist that shiney beautiful Cup.

Finished 1st and 2nd for Hart and Lindsay in consecutive seasons. That will tell you a lot more than fans will. Also his stats speak for themselves much like Draisaitl currently. You guys have the best player and two best offensive players in the world, that much is certain.

It looked like you were talking smack (light-hearted). I was giving back in kind. Apologies for mis-reading the situation.

So ur cheering for Oilers yet also chirping the oil fan base by bringing up a series from years ago for no reason.
We can't bash you guys too much... You helped eliminate the Flames from the playoffs picture.

Cheers.
 
Hang on to that
You really should go and look at my post with AnInjuredJasonZucker, I want the Oilers to win, how could a Jets fan not cheer for the Oilers, Vegas has screwed us in so many ways since being in the league. Either beating us in the playoffs or taking players.

Haha no no, I want the Oilers to win, if I wanted to talk smack, I'd head over to the Panthers/Leafs 😂
 
GG Oilers. Obviously deserved. Brutal to be there in person for it but what can ya do? Hopefully Vegas has better effort and execution in game 3 win or lose. They faced one instance of adversity and crumpled up.
How much you want to go to games 3 & 4?

The guy has a grand total of one 100+ pt season and one 50+ goal season..
He needs half a dozen more seasons like that one year to be considered top 5 player in the game.

He is more of a Taylor Hall than a Draisaitl.

Him winning Hart over McDavid last season was a joke in itself.

No no, McFlash97 said this isn't the Winnipeg Jets. And I thought he was talking about the fans and how weren't not loud, is how I interpreted that. We all knew Vegas would win, our team needs a rebuild to compete in like 3 years.
