Its not worth talking about it with you because you don't comprehend the risk reward in Drais game. In first period there where he gets picked by OV he's Double teamed up high. He's waiting for guys to get open and give him some puck support and nobody does. he buys 6 seconds on that play in no mans land and nobody being a relief valve. But I'm sure everybody blamed him for getting stripped.
10 times a night Drai makes plays like that where he draws defenders up high and then kills them.
This board hardly even takes notice.
If you think Drai was ordinary in the first two periods you just don't know or comprehend his cerebral game.
This board does take notice. No one here would sanely disagree with the fact that he is incredible.
He would be the number one star on 27-29 other teams but he plays in McDs shadow.
The issue here is that no matter how many times he doesn't play to his potential, you defend him unnecessarily. No player is perfect. He does make mistakes as does McD. But as soon as anyone says anything about it you go off the deep end!
With all due respect, its like why many hate the Leafs. They like the team, but get sick of hearing about their greatness ALL the time!
