Did enjoy the part about Johnny, Backlund, Toffoli and Mangiapane all taking 0 hits in the last game.

Thing I've noticed about shows like that today is that they're talking about what the Oilers can do to win tonight, how the goaltending needs to be better, they need to start on time, how they came back even though they were dominated and still almost won, what injuries they have.
Not a lot mentioning that Markstrom was brutal, the Flames defensive play was sloppy at times, that Tanev is out. That McDavid's big night (and yes, he is a great player obviously) was in large part to do with some very stoppable shots and frankly some good luck on his part.
The Oilers can be better. But so can the Flames.
