While McDavid is certainly capable of 100 points once again, this number has become such a rarity that I don't believe it is a given that he will hit it.
how can we possibly say McDavid, Draisaitl or Klefbom had their career seasons after only 2 years?
I guess Gaudreau had his career season 2 years ago then? same with Monahan?
better lump Backlund, Frolik and Hamilton....all 3 had career seasons...with Oiler players then

It will be delicious to watch the Flames mangle the Oilers this year, and I look forward to your whiney excuses when this paper tiger with no depth team is unceremoniously trounced out of the playoffs.

Edmonton is no good, and neither are your posts.
lol...Flames will need to toughen up, hope Smith doesn't crumble or blame his defense like he's prone to do, and tighten up that amazing D as to not let McDavid have a few breakaways like he did last year...
because we saw what a "deep" Flames team looks like...and what a "2-player" Oilers team looks like
