Woodcroft is riding the coattails of an offensive playoff performance that comes around every couple of decades and thinks he is a genius. They're not only not in this series without Connor McDavid, they don't even make it out of round 1 without him. Or make the playoffs. But by all means, pat yourself on the back.
Just smug. So, so smug.

Oh, don't stop there.
They don't even make the playoffs without him.
The difference between the current situation and continued unmitigated failure of that team similar to that which Buffalo has seen for over a decade was a ping pong ball.
They certainly weren't saving themselves without it.
