On the radio they were speculating on that being due to McClellan having a book on McDavid from his time there.
LA needs to start putting together something remotely close to a 60 minute game at home, but with this proven competence in shutting McDavid down, it alone increases their odds to come out of the series substantially.
Injecting some skill into the top six should help with that.

It's so satisfying to see McDavid wind up and try to blast into the zone only to have a defender calmly, either step in his way or get the puck off him. I know he is an incredible player but it seems too many teams sit back and just watch him speed into their end.
