That's the world again now with McDavid.

I don't think Edmonton fans have ever had to go through that with a Calgary team.

Calgary has a big win % in the BOA, so it's not like Edmonton fans have had an easy ride, but they get beat by teams, not players specifically.
Can confirm.

Though i will say that this iteration of best player with the Oilers doesnt give me nearly as much angst as those back then (cause they could kill you with muktiple guys). Last night though...yup...just had that feeling all game long he would be the difference. He was.
