The Oilers can score like a Stanley Cup contender, of that there is no doubt. But after another blown multi-goal lead, the team has to improve its play away from the puck before the playoffs. (SportsnetSpec)
When the playoffs begin, they don’t play three-on-three overtime anymore.
Right now Edmonton is bending a lot, and then finding their own break in overtime or a shootout. Bend like this in the playoffs, and there will be a lot of broken hearts in Northern Alberta. “We gave up too much off the rush. I didn't think our back-check was where it needs to be. They got above us a few times. Most are correctible.”
Truly, McDavid and Draisaitl on a two-on-one has become the modern day version of Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri. The only difference is, these two are more interchangeable than the Hall of Fame tandem was.
