Of course they are. Cause this is as good as it has gotten for them in years passed.
McDavid was impressive. The Oilers as a team were not. They had better zone exits and cycling than the Flames at times but had equally bad stretches and moments as well.
A Lot went their way last night. I don't see that repeating over a second game, especially with the adjustments Calgary will make, and being able to control matchups.
McDavid also won't get to line up against Wideman any more. He gets to deal with Gio-Brodie on friday. It won't be a walk in the park.
