Is there not a coach that does some actual preparation, studies the tape on him and final solution's tendencies on the PP, or is willing to get creative?
Or geeen light the old school physical deterrent approach?
I'm positive this explosion in McDavid points has directly coincided with the league getting notably softer and less physical on defense than it was in the Crosby prime era.

This thread is mostly expressions of frustrations of seeing your hated team in the playoffs while the team you support is cleaning out the locker room. It's fun to indulge in. I read it with the appropriate amount of humor.
But the bolded above is embarrassing. No need for that. I am aware that the genesis for this was a chyron when Draisaitl was drafted. It was in poor taste then, and it still is in poor taste. Be better.
