The McDavid breakaway goal for the hat trick:

can we borrow mcdavid for a period?

 

[BakedYams]

The worst part about these blowout games for the Oilers is that it usually means McDavid and Draisatl get benched for most of the 3rd period, playing only a few shifts. Multiple times this season. If Connor doesn't hit 100, that's why. For the record, I agree with the benching.

Nothing going right for the Jets tonight

Jets are playing Forbot. The guy is getting murdered by McDavid.

When you play the Habs or Leafs... sure

 

[Paperbagofglory]

If only Mcdavid played Ottawa and Winnipeg more, he cant handle the other mega talented teams like Montreal.

 

[Petrus]

Nope.

19 bro lol

What a beat down, holy shit that was gorgeous. As if there was ever a debate before the season who the best player in world is.

Just a transcendent talent, man does he make watching hockey so enjoyable.

6-1

No other way to describe him!

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

all i know is that goal was ALPHA as f***

he got a breakaway and the entire TIME he's staring straight at the goalie, never at the puck... like he was staring him DOWN.

imagine being a goalie and seeing that.

First he looked back to make sure no one was gonna catch him, then he turned his attention to Helleybuck. Between his skating and how quickly he processes the game, it looks like everyone else is operating at half speed.

Man I always forget Matthews is American

I was dreaming about him sniping McDavid passes on team Canada

Sometimes it would be nice to have running time for some of these games that get out of hand.

 

[Former Referee 68]

One of the best goalies, great offensive depth(although without Ehlers now), defence isn’t amazing but it’s good compared to what else is in the North. That’s pretty well rounded

this aged well

I’ve been pushing The Transcendent One as his nickname for awhile.

Generational doesn’t suit just how good he is when every few years we have a new “generational” talent being labelled.

I’ve now jinxed both Montreal and Winnipeg in a two week span, who’s next ?

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Not to take away anything from McDavid's performance, because it is fantastic, but Winnipeg's forwards are essentially gifting him free goals. The high forward/F3 is consistently below the puck, and McDavid has tons of time+space to do whatever he wants. The second goal there are three Jets forwards nowhere near McDavid:

All three Jets forwards are behind the net and nobody is providing any support.

I know it's early... but I don't care for Kulikov. He's fine defensively but can't make a breakout pass (unlike Bear/Jones/Barrie/Bouchard/etc). Basically a less physical Larsson. Devils fans seem to like him and probably should re-sign him.

You may not like Larsson, but honestly if he's another Larsson that will make me super happy. And I don't think there'sany indication that Kulikov is any less physical than Larsson. That pairing is going to be a nightmare for opposing forwards in the playoffs imo.

Toronto, please?

Winnipeg should watch the Oilers vs Leafs games from this year to learn how to contain McDavid.

Yeah, they are cheating since they are back by so many lol

Montreal and them double team him and it does help lower his totals. That's where others need to step up. Also helps when the ref calls zero penalties in a few of the games.

Your tears are delicious as well

It's 2-0 at that point.

Where are the D? Are they on the wrong side too?

This isn't entirely correct:



The Leafs use the high forward really well to provide support.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

No, they're making a change, which is fine if you have support. Winnipeg doesn't. Their structure is really bad.

 

[Three On Zero]

Toronto, please?

I’ll do my best

McDavid finally passed Matthews in the running for the Hart Trophy with this game. Chris Johnston trying to come up with a new way to discredit McDavid
