This one will go the distance IMO. I hope to God the Flames win.
It’s impossible to shut him down completely but if they can contain McDavid to 1-2 points/game they should be okay. I think he’s good enough to win them a few games on his own.
That said, this series will come down to special teams. Calgary needs to stay disciplined. The Oilers power play is ridiculously good. If they start taking 4-5 penalties/game they’re hooped. Hopefully the refs put their whistles away a bit here.
