Post-Game Talk: McDrai Showtime - The Best Show On Earth

[OilerTitanFan]

I still remember the days when we had 1-2 goal leads with 2 minutes left and somehow we find a way to lose them especially during the Taylor Hall, Eberle and RNH era. Some bs always happened and I felt that we were always going to lose it late. Now this team just kept pushing the pace and is the complete opposite.

I'm not worried about the team; we always bounce back after ****e efforts and poor losses like this thus far.

Hey, I was right. I like this team. <3

Not going to lie though, was definitely watching the sporting event across the street at the MGM...

Brave feller over here on CP to admit something like this. Although it’s usually a good thing when your worst enemy admits you’re doing something right.

But I thought Gaudreau was = to McDavid.

 

[BlackDogg]

Yep. Hitting all 5! Liver transplant when I get back.

If you haven't been over the hoover dam bridge before, don't be too tired to enjoy the view

Lmao.

I always thought Gaudreau was less McDavid and more Draisaitl in terms of point production.

but even I was wrong there

Draisaitl >>>>>>>>> Gaudreau

That view is pretty awesome! Tomorrow however I’m planning on sleeping to Phx while Mrs 5 Min 4 Ftg does the driving. I am surprised I can still spell to be honest.

LOL.

The PP we scored on tonight was f***ing devastating, it was a full on example of why we're first in the league.

I'm so happy with how they came out tonight, they pushed an exceptionally good team to the brink.

Kept shots to the outside, our PP was amazing and they kept away from taking penalties. Great game!

>>>>Wearing the “No Lose McDavid” alternate.

4-2 win. 2 McPoints.<<<<

I just realized I called it fellas.

The No Lose McDavid Alternate comes thru again with the exact score AND McPoint prediction.

Drop mike.

Out.​

Pretty pretty good. McDrai just cant be stopped. They are terrorizing the league like nothing Ive seen since the Gretzky days.

You mean the Lemieux and Jagr days.

So Dave Randorf clearly says “no!” after McDavid’s first goal. Either he didn’t think it went in, or he hates the Oilers.

Gerard Gallant does not look like a guy I would hire to babysit my kids.

Back at the pre game bar. Wife has to burn her VGK jersey. Having a few post game victory drinks and it’s off to Arizona in the AM. Pray for me not to be too hungover to drink myself to oblivion tomorrow night.

ALL HAIL THE OILERS.

Adopt me??

 

[Wen22]

Good bounce back game. I didn't like Smith starting, glad he proved me wrong lol

Yup couldn't agree more. The things that stand out to me on our PP this year is 1) McDavid and Draisaitl are zone entry machines, 2) RNH, Klefbom and Neal/Chiasson are understanding their role that the play is to be funnelled through McDavid and Drai and they are the support cast in the middle. With a more skilled PP Dman they would add another element, but as it stands right now McDavid and Drai are both shooting threats from opposite sides, and both can thread the needle on seam passes. Nuge offers a smart support player who has a quick accurate wrister and who can make quick short passes. Neal understands his job and is doing it well getting deflections on outside shots, setting up for back door redirects, and is constantly hanging around the net for rebounds. Klefbom is mostly just the middle man who buys McDrai time when a lane isn't open, but I have to say he's done a great job keeping pucks in and keeping it simple this year. I'd still love a scoring threat in Klefbom's spot, but for now he's doing a good job of supporting McDrai and letting them pick teams apart.

Watched the recording.

That felt like a playoff game. The pace was insane.

There's no better duo than Draisaitl and McDavid and we haven't seen the likes of this in a long, long time.
