Big win, really needed that.

McDavid was dangerous, but I thoughts they did well defending him. Also draisaitl was really held back. This is the problem with the Oilers and why McDavid will not be able to will them into the playoffs. Their goaltending situation is dire and trying to ride two players every game is a tall task. Those 2 are probably on pace to play 80 games worth of games for the typical forward.

Markstrom and Tanev have been great additions and have done wonders so far. Forwards are starting to settle in and I think we are on the verge of going streaking.

Regarding the commentary last night, I don't know a lot of the magic of television, but I wonder how much of the McJesus angle is a fabrication of the producer and the network. I also wouldn't put it above the Oilers organization to make sure his tires are pumped.
