That and some timely scoring from some unexpected sources were the story. No one expected Draisaitl to shoot at a 24% clip in the playoffs. No one expected Letestu to be tied for 2nd for goals scored by an Oiler in the post season. Yeah, let that sink in for a while. The combination of McJesus, Drysaddle, and Letestu scored almost as many goals as the rest of the Oilers team combined.

...and no one expect RNH, Eberle and Pouliot to score a combined 0 goals in the playoffs
no one expected Jake Guetzel to lead the Pens in playoff scoring but he did
not sure what your point is

Do you seriously think things are going to go the same way again?

people keep saying this but who had the career season? Maroon? Talbot? who?

every team in the league will only go as far as their best players take them...this isn't exclusively an Oiler thing
