a) Edmonton is terrible when McDavid is not on the ice. Maybe his back will break from carrying so many corpses. If I'm playing him in the playoffs, I'm leaning on him as much as possible and plugging the neutral zone as much as possible so he can get his feet moving. I'm also taking as many liberties as I can get away with.
b) McDavid is an embarrassing level diver, but the NHL will never call out the golden boy. The Oilers get an easy schedule this year, and they seem to get a lot of favorable calls. This is why I think this team is a one hit wonder and unsustainable next year if they don't get the handicapped special from league.
