He hasn't scored a goal since game one in the Rangers series. Yet he's at 5 goals, 15 assists, and 20 points in 20 games. Imagine if Tkachuk starts scoring?

He hasn't been that bad, considering Nurse and Ceci are useless, Bouchard is defensively clueless, Kulak is a placeholder, Broberg is an AHL defender and Desharnais is a 7th or 8th guy at best. So how did Edmonton even get to the Final? They outscored their opposition, but Florida and Paul Maurice have done a brilliant job of muzzling Mcd, Drai, Nuge, Kane and Hyman. So glorious to see those guys shut down (although I like Nugent-Hopkins). But Skinner has been adequate considering the leaky defence ahead of him.

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I'm surprised with all these advanced stats guru's people aren't impressed as they should be with Florida. Sure Edmonton is getting shots on net. But they are mostly from the outside and low danger chances that Bob Rossky can do his artistic saves on. And doesn't take into account there are whole shifts where Florida looks dangerous, but doesn't score. But all the media does is keep pumping Edmonton's tires on how "great" they are playing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The media and mainstream crowd are afraid to be wrong. So they're all saying the same thing in the hope it will eventually be true if they say it enough times. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they need to stop saying Edmonton is the better team. Just because you get more zone time and get more shots on goal doesn't actually mean you're the better team. If you look at the goals that Panther scored in game 3, they all start in their own zone with a defensive play, take the puck away to the other way and scored. I'm most impressed with watching them get out of their own zone consistently with simple plays knowing where each other are all the time - just smart smart hockey. It's truly impressive. There's not enough talk about how McDavid is not a 200 ft player. Sure he doesn't give the puck away, but when the puck is his own zone he doesn't do enough to prevent a goal. It's very evident when you watch Barkov is on the ice with 97. McDavid can score all the points during regular season, but when it matters I would much rather have Barkov on my team - at a lower cap hit too 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 So to summarize the Oilers plan to win the cup: Re-sign McDavid to $16 million per Re-sign Draisaitl to $14 million per Re-sign Bouchard to $10 million per Nurse is at $9.25 million per for 6 more years Backup goalie Jack Campbell is at $5 million per for 3 more years My math tells me that is $54.25 million for 5 players. The cap is expected to go up to $100 million in 3 years. So, the Oilers plan to win the Stanley Cup is to have 54% of their total cap tied up to 5 players... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
