    I'm watching for McDavid to take a Crosby like approach with this in the next couple years and seriously improve his draws.
    Counterintuitively it doesn't seem to be actually connected to winning games though if you look at recent history. Perhaps those who have studied it have missed something, but it receives way more attention than it should as far as I am concerned.

    Yes I suppose I'm just trying to say it's somewhere in the middle of the 'be all end all' and 'not important at all'. Agree with your last post.

    Sure glad I stayed up to watch this one! Fully expect Anaheim to even it up in Game 2 - this is going to be a tough series...I already hate Kesler and Getzlaf!

    I was going to try and go to bed as well as the game was pretty boring for most of it. Glad I stuck it out. Man the Ducks are easy to dislike.

    Omg me too, haaaaate Kesler lol... Loved the push back from the oil, as suspected this team won't be pushed around. What a great playoff game. Huuuuuge win and big pressure on the ducks now.

    It's amazing that McDavid is singlehandedly winning games for the Oilers or they would obviously be losing all of these games since he's the only reason they win.

    Oilers are putting in a true team effort. McDavid will come to dominate a playoff game sooner or later but every Oiler's win has seen new hero step forward on different occassions- Kassian, Desharnais, Larsson, Klefbom. Many players like Slepyshev, Letestu, Benning have elevated their games.

    Tough to say. Some of the clips they showed during the game last night made me wonder if he is still suffering a rib injury from Game 6 against the Sharks. We will never find out until the playoffs end though.

    No, they said McDavid is the only reason the Oilers made the playoffs, and even most Oiler fans recognize that. Hence why McDavid is the front runner for the Hart and it's not even close.
