Whether it be a preseason game, a game in November, a no-stakes game in January when the Oilers are just playing out the string, or one of those elusively rare playoff games, he is always the same player. Maybe this is good, but it sure seems like his play is a lot less effective in situations where most other players CAN and DO elevate their own games when the stakes are higher. McDoorstop looks to me like a difference maker, but mostly only in those games in which the difference made is negligible.

Blaming a good/great player for a bad team's struggles is what leads to trades like the Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle ones, so I support this even though he's the only reason they are even semi respectable
