For all the talk about Oettinger/Smith, I am pretty stoked to be facing Nurse/Bouchard/Keith/Barrie/Russell/Kulak rather than Orr-mode Heiskanen and Lidstrom-mode Klingberg

Of course McDavid is a tough matchup. But I feel Backlund has had more success vs him than against MacKinnon, and Kylington was a difference-maker against him as well.
