Post-Game Talk: So... What is actually wrong with McDrai? *or Cloned's reverse jinx thread*

[Cloned]

Not the poster @McDrai

I don't think it's fatigue - we're 10 games in.

I will say that I think McDavid looks like someone who knows his greatest asset has been somewhat neutralized, so he's kind of trying to find another way to play his game, but the confidence obviously isn't there yet.

Drai looks like he's completely lethargic though, and he doesn't have an injury excuse.

They play on a 2 man team offensively.

Lots of pressure doing this.

I joke from time to time about the fluoride, but maybe...

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Looks like he has no confidence in his abilities.

Drai just looks like he's going through the motions.

To be fair Draisaitl had been averaging 25+ min. per 60.. but he is also a professional athlete not even 10 games into the season and it already looks like he's gassed / phoning it in? Not a great look.

McDavid, in spite of the torrid pace, looks off. His pass selection and execution, decision making at times, just doesn't seem to be calibrated properly. He is the best player in the world when he is on but the adulation needs to end. There are some pretty ugly moments where he's just given it away the last 3-4 games and he is not, nor should he be, immune to criticism.

They looked pretty satisfied with themselves on the bench when they were undefeated. For whatever reason, this wholly unjustified sense of complacency seems to creep in with this team regardless of the player personnel.

They are tired of being the only ones doing anything.

No support from management.

They’ve had enough.

Lucic needs to score five goals...

 

[BarDownBobo]

Just needed a patented @Cloned jinx thread to get them going apparently.

 

[BlackDogg]

Pretty sure its mental. Something is bothering him and he gets going at times. It may just be the team.

Nice reverse-jinx.

Nice reverse-jinx.

Been working ever since the Dubnyk post.

Playing too cute and predictable.Always the extra pass,which Kassian is starting to do as well.I think separating McD and Draisaitl for a couple of games would reset them both.

 

[Ninety7]
