Where are McDavid and Draisaitl when it matters?

[Muffin]

Classic HF boards. Overreaction because McDrai didn't have a point in 2 games then overoverreaction because they're having 1 good game lol. Like holy overreactions batman.

3/4 of the posts in this thread are about how 2 games is too small a sample size, but now some of those same people are now saying 1 game is enough?

Yes, and when I think about it - two periods are enough.

This thread won’t age well lol

The haters had an opening to hate. They ll take that every single time

No matter how dumb it makes them look.

 

[CN8]

They couldn't. Winnipeg is playing completely different this game and giving McDavid all the space he wants. Even the panelists pointed this out

Im actually just having fun
I find you to be a level headed poster

What 1 game sample size? What about their career playoff numbers? Don't both average more than a point per game McDavid 21 points in 20 games and draisaitl 25 points in 20 games?

I mean, both now average more than a point per game in 20 games played in the playoffs so I don't see how this is a 1 game overreaction, just pointing out that jumping on 2 games was stupid.

4 games vs a weak #12 Chicago team are like half of their points. It shouldn’t have even counted as playoffs, even though the NHL said it technical was. Gimmick.

I don't think it will come down to PPG, it will come down to how far they go in the playoffs. If they go out in the 1st round, there will be a backlash even if they end up getting like 8 points in 6 games or something.

iirc McDavid now has 4 ES points in 16 playoff games (not counting play in's). Before tonight he had only 2 ES points in 15 games...

 

[Mickey Marner]

Good finish to this game.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Draisaitl scored again on the PP.

Thanks for the jinx thread

I wish the OP would make a Crosby thread.

 

[Nihiliste]

It’s amazing how bad the team around them is honestly

When you want something done right, do it yourself. Scoring or not, he is your most noticeable player.

AHL calibre outside of these 5 players:

McDavid
Draisaitl
Barrie
Nurse
Nugent-Hopkins

 

[Lukin1978]

Wow

 

[Aashir]

Omg

 

[StevenF1919]

Frauds.

 

[LevelingSolo]

McDavid has been brutal

 

[Del Preston]

Both of them had a great game tonight, and it was pissed away by pathetic teammates again. f*** Josh Archibald so bad.

 

[Three On Zero]

Well well well.....This thread lives to see another day

 

[DearDiary]

McGhost made 1 appearance in the last 2 periods, passing the puck to the Jets for a goal

 

[Muffin]

So uh McDavid for Eichel?

I've watched every playoff game McDavid has played in the last 3 years. 4 two seasons ago, 4 last year (playin game vs playoffs is same thing IMO) and now 3 games thus far.

My reaction is to those 11 games. Not 2 games of no points, 11 games of subpar playoff performance.

I said it after game 1 and I'm still on pace. This is going to be the 3rd sweep in the post season in 3 seasons for the oilers

 

[River Meadow]

McDavid is terrific in the regular season.

Playoffs... eh.
