It's all recency bias and guzzling the Oiler kool-aid. The Oilers won a series against arguably the worst team in the playoffs, and they needed ridiculously lopsided officiating to do it. Suddenly the entire hockey media are proclaiming the Oilers as some kind of unstoppable juggernaut who are gonna steamroll their competition, because McDavid. Amazing how they all conveniently forget the fact that the 'Nucks won the division and have home ice. They're also a better team than LA at pretty much every position, including goaltending...even without Demko.
You just know the Canucks are using all of this as bulletin board material.
