“The best player won the series for them,” said Sutter.

Truth. Markstrom was their best player

Came here to say this. Truth.

MacDavid was good but so was Leon. Evander Kane is also a goal per game and leading the playoffs in goals so it’s not like it was just one player. Their D made way less mistakes and they had some secondary scoring on the Hyman line too. Calgary could not contain the speed of the oilers at all.

There's no shame in getting absolutely carried. I'd love to have a McDavid to carry my team, oilers should be proud of the young lad. That Dry Sandal guy isint too shabby either

Drai: 17 points (3.4 ppg)
McD: 12 points (2.4 ppg)
Hyman: 8 points (1.6 ppg)
Kane: 6 points (1.2 ppg)
Nuge: 6 points (1.2 ppg)

yup, all McDavid.

In reality he should have highlighted Draisaitl as well. No McDavid, no Draisaitl, and none of those players are close with production.

McDavid would carry most teams so I don’t know if that’s an insult to the oilers

Everyone last year:

"You can't win with just one player! Haha Stupid Oilers"

This year:

"One player beat us! "

Opening salvo to negotiations with Johnny Hockey and Tkachuk.

Maybe coach should have told Tkachuk to give up on trying to engage Kane before Game 4.

True. The series was McDavid vs the Flames and McDavid beat the Flames.

Don't forget about Tkachuk. He did a lot to ensure the Flames lost.

Don't forget about Tkachuk. He did a lot to ensure the Flames lost.

Tkachuk was just a passenger all series. Whereas Markstrom did cost the flames the series with one of the worst goaltending performances in the last decade and I watch the playoffs every year.
