Edmonton fans don't understand that the playoffs are a different game.
They forget that in the last playoff McDavid was invisible, and Draisaitl's stats were misleading and while he had a unsustainable shooting performance, the rest of his game wasn't great.
The playoffs are about depth, the Oilers don't have it, the Flames do in spades.
They also forget that there is a certain latitude given in terms of being able to attack their top line. If they're mad now about every love tap that McDavid gets, they're going to lose it in the playoffs.
But the Oilers have nothing behind that. Plus the Oilers might be physically tougher, but they'll get skated into the ice by the flames.
But it doesn't matter, they ain't making the playoffs.
