Of course PomPom Staples couldn't get to the keyboard fast enough to spin and defend every single point made. Its really embarrassing.
McDavid and Draisaitl are just fine defensively thanks very much. LOL

The fact is McDavid took a step up as a defensive player this year, improving his slot defence. Draisaitl is a strong defender when he puts his mind to it. I don’t know what did or didn’t happen with Yzerman, but McDavid and Draisiatl continue to progress as two-way players. I’d like to see them both centre their own lines, as that is how Edmonton will get the most out of both of them. I expect we’ll see much more of that in 2021-22.
this is a particularly new hot fresh take...we'll see... (and isn't 'when he puts his mind to it' part of the problem? presumably almost any NHLer , especially with size can be a strong defender when they put their mind to it?)
