They have to make the playoffs first. Welcome to the hunted club.

Remember that the Flames played that fire wagon hockey a couple of years back where they made the playoffs and surprised a few teams. The next year, teams came prepared for them not being an easy two points.

I expect that most teams know that Edmonton has very few players that are actually carrying that team and they'll make their lives miserable.

I would expect that most teams in a playoff series will keep McDavid from winding up in the neutral zone.

The big question is Talbot, he's the whole lynch pin for the Oilers. If they insist on playing 70 games and they keep allowing a lot of shots from the "This guy scored" areas, they might not have as easy of a time this year.
