This for sure. Knows he is lucky to be still playing the game after a nasty injury (may not have good feel in the hand either).He still had 11 goals in 27 games coming back from the injury last year. The entire top 6 sucked in the playoffs last year again McDavid included.
Yes his game has deteriorated and I agree with you about it hopefully being a slow start.Kanes game has deteriorated since his injury. I hope his issues are not as a result of that and this is just a slow start.
I think this flak on social media has probably woken him up a bit and I predict he will be better in the next few games.His lack of speed is what has me worried the most TBH. That said at east he threw a big hit and got into a fight last night. Hopefully it's the start of him righting the ship.
I literally heard no one say this until this week. 13 points in 14 games….And he really wasnt playing well last year before the injury.
I'll give him this, he's about one of the only guys who appears to be invested in giving more. Or anything, at this point. Not enough players in that room seem to care enough.Best game of the season from him tonight. Hopefully he can keep that level of play up.
He had a strong game for sure.Best game of the season from him tonight. Hopefully he can keep that level of play up.
I'll take effort because there haven't been too many good efforts from our team so far.He had a strong game for sure.
His hands still dont look right to me but the effort was 100% there tonight.
Good to see.

His give a shit meter is higher than most on the team for sure.Everyone take a step back from the ledge yet? He’s been a force the last few games.
He's dragging us into the fight. Sadly he doesn't have a 2nd in command like he did last year with Kostin. We badly need an upgrade on Erne.While his hands still seem a bit rusty (great shoot for the ENG though), he’s looking more and more like the Kane the Oilers need. His physical presence and overall ability as a power forward is a key ingredient to the team’s success

I don't think that playing rough and tumble hockey is in his nature and that he probably just does it due to his sheer size. That said he can also score goals which is kinda important!I wouldn’t mind seeing if Lavoie can fill that role a bit. Seems like he can be a bit physical and a guy like Kane would be a good mentor. Plus they need someone that is a threat to score in the bottom 6 like Kostin was (here and there).
