No one did. Other than stylistically they resembled each other in the way they moved. Whereas when Matthews got off to a fast unsustainable start. There were some that actually posted they would prefer Matthews over McDavid. Most posters and Oilers fans know this.
Ok Bucky, you believe what you want to believe and I'll believe the truth.
By the way. Yes there were a select few leaf fans that said Matthews was as good as McDavid. With the size ofoour fanbase there are going to be a few people with unconventional ideas But the majority of us were just saying that the gap between the two players was not as big as some believe. That's all.
As for Laine, good for him that he can score goals that's great for Winnipeg, but I'll take the the first line center that plays both ends of the ice, drives his line and can score with the best of them....and I'm pretty sure 99 percent of GMs would agree with me.
