Connor McDavid Playoff Performance

[Crabapple]

Not all of us can have a guy like Tanner Glass who can put the puck in the back of the net at will. He'll get there hopefully.

 

[authentic]

Just a reminder, he's played 1 game. He played pretty damn good IMO.

 

[66-30-33]

Oilers add. We need playoff performers.

Fine Malkin for McDavid and Drai.

Was at the game, so might have missed some of the smaller things you get on tv but it seemed one of the most pedestrian games I've seen him play all year. Have zero concerns going forward though. He's way too good to have another like that anytime soon.

Playoff nerves. In a few years if Oilers go far I can see him having a Malkin like 2008/09 like run (36 points).

I actually expected the crazy building was going to work against us last night because the Sharks have been deep and heard some loud buildings but our young guys and even the ones who have been here during the decade of darkness have never heard anything like that before. We jokingly call Rogers the library here because it's so quiet during the regular season. I know we got out to the 2-0 lead but they got in a little trouble with some suspect calls and just absolutely folded. If we had won, it would have been like some games we won against the Sharks this year where we were outshot 2 to 1 but got lucky.

The building was crazy though. I was really tempted to take the money for my seats because I lost my job this winter but the energy was a lot of fun to experience. The 1000 people in their seats an hour early had a louder "Let's go, Oilers!" chant going than I've heard all year in that building.

I've tuned in at some point to every playoff game and our building definitely sounded the loudest (even with the Sportsnet crowd volume down).

The Sharks deserved the win, but I really think all of those penalties stymied any flow to the game. I think we'll come out strong in the next one.

As for McDavid, he picked up a point and had a couple breakaways, yet this was by his standards an underwhelming game. But that's the standard he needs to be held to, he'll bounce back.

Crosby had 0 goals, 4 assists, and an even +/- rating against San Jose in the finals.

McDavid is significantly better than Crosby and will likely score at a higher clip throughout the series. The reasons the Penguins won was because they had superior depth to San Jose.

This. Kessel on the 3rd line destroyed us.

 

[Wheatking]

"Relies" was the wrong word - what I meant was that he generates a lot of points on the PP, like most good players, and therefore you'd expect to see his point totals drop when PP opportunities are reduced.

That's fair.

Your entire team got badly outplayed. It wasn't one line.

 

[Oscar Acosta]

Tom Wilson >> Auston Matthews >>>>> Connor McDavid

Playoff logic right?

 

[goggog]

So you're that guy who gets mad I insulted your girlfriend and rather than defend her, you insult my girlfriend in return. Almost like a "your mom" joke.

I mean really, lets go look at a users posts and find a way to insult whatever team he likes. You crushed it bro...

I actually am a Jagr fan first and foremost, but live in Colorado now so the Avalanche have become my adopted team. In respect to the years you are referencing, I was following the Penguins, so your post did nothing for me.

Sorry, but where was his insult? Is anything he said about the Avalanche franchise wrong?
Regardless if they are your "adopted team" They still sucked before and their championships are based on their previous failures. That is a fact.
BTW remind me how the Penguins' acquired their core players?

On topic, it was a relatively poor game by McDavid, but his entire line (and forward corps) played like ass. Still thought he was the Oilers' best skater

 

[nmbr_24]

One game and we get this thread. That is ridiculous.

 

[Paralyzer]

Where's the Auston Matthews Performance Playoff Performance Thread? He looked awful and looks like his game won't match the Playoffs with his style of play. Heck, he couldn't even muster a point! and he's -1. Bust I say.

Kessel had one goal in the series. Not that he played bad, but it wasn't one line that dominated the Sharks in that series.

 

[Jumptheshark]

this is a fun thread

 

[jeangauthier]

Trade him before his value drops........

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

Since McDavid's value has dropped:

McDavid

for

Crosby + 1st

or


Matthews + Marner/Nylander + 1st

for

McDavid

Matthews mcdavid and sids value is equal.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

100=89=68. Apparently

 

[Kcoyote3]

Matthews mcdavid and sids value is equal.

Nahhh

 

[Paralyzer]

Matthews mcdavid and sids value is equal.

Sid=McDavid>>>Matthews=Eichel.

Matthews wishes he has the same value.

 

[Dieseloil]

100% agree on him personally. I just hope he spends the next 8-9 seasons sniffing the Cup, but coming up short, then he leaves and is part of a dynasty literally anywhere but Edmonton. I hate that the Oilers franchise was rewarded for being useless for so many seasons.

No need to tell us that, we already knew.

 

[nucks88]

Nope...Sid is still a whisker above Mcdavid but that will change in the next season or so...the kid is so special. He needs more supporting players though...Oilers D needs help.
