The Oilers have not had a game where they carried the play for the majority of the game. McDavid has put the team on his back and scratched and crawled his way to W’s. If either McDavid or Talbot isn’t lights out, the losses will pile up quickly. McDavid is the only reason they are not lottery favorites and at the rate his playing he’s going to burn out or get injured.

Yeah. The Flames have looked better than than the Oilers in the early going.
