I'd say my Oil but they really didn't do enough to be successful in the playoffs. Same plan as last year.. hope and prey McDrai can outscore our D mistakes and that Skinner is equal to his regular season self.

Aside from the obvious Leafs/Oilers....I'd put the Rangers pretty high on the list. I still don't know if they are contenders or pretenders. Even with a Vezina-level Shesterkin, last year, they fell pretty short. And Shesterkin isn't having a good year and Quick seems to be running out of gas as the season concludes.

The East is going to be a chaotic mess, this year, and could benefit from the West beating themselves up, much like when the Penguins won their cup against Nashville. The Predators were so decimated by the time they got to the SCF, it was just too much.

Because if you want to be known as one of if not the greatest of all time, it’s not fair, but you have to do it yourself sometimes

I get it, but that doesn't mean the Oilers don't have a lot to prove in these playoffs. They've now had the best player in the world for 8 years, and they only have 1 conference finals to show for it.

Okay, then we have to pose the question - will McDavid ever win a Stanley Cup in Edmonton?

Will Hughes every win a Cup? What about the Sedins? Linden? Bure? Naslund? Luongo? Some amazing players in Vancouver.. is it their fault they didn't win the Stanley Cup in Vancouver?

Out West
As a team, the Jets.

I keep reading post after post after post about the Jets being a small market team and how that's become pretty much frowned upon over any real talk about the team, their struggles and how far they've come to this point. I really want to see the Jets shut up a lot of folks and bring a Cup to Winnipeg.

As a player, McDavid for very obvious reasons.

One thing about all those players. They are not trying to cement themselves in the top 5 of all time. With out a cup that will always be used against him. I personally think cups are overrated for personal achievements. Takes a entire team to win a cup, not a player. But it will be used against him .

It's more for his legacy, does he want to be mentioned together with Gretzky and Lemieux? Or be a Dionne? Great but with an asterisk.

Team. It's Leafs, that door is closing.

They should try keeping the puck out of the net too... Draisaitl specifically.

They are #1 (Drai) and #2 (McDavid) for GA at even strength over the last 3 years.

#3 is Hedman who has played almost double the amount of games.

Am I looking at the wrong stat?
I filtered by forwards too.

Edit: oh for playoffs. Yup I see it.

Donno? What people are saying is he needs a cup or people will use it against him in the all time standings. No one in implying this is his last shot at it. :dunno:

Last page is filled with McD Legacy comments. Agree, if he retires without a cup it'll be mentioned. Does everyone know something I don't? He doesn't seem very close to retirement to me. Does he have Cancer? Did I seriously read a Dionne comparison a minute ago (he was 37 when he retired, 10 years older than McD is today). Is the man dying and I missed the Friedman tweet? Dude has another decade of hockey left.
