There is no planet where the Oilers can run this back next year or the year after. Because when push came to shove it wasn't even McDrai but some absolutely amazing once in a lifetime performances from plugs like Janmark, Connor Brown, and Foegele. They had an amazing PK mostly due to those players as well. There is absolutely 0 chance such a PK will be repeated in any other year the Oilers make the playoffs. Not to mention Brown's bonus, Bouchard breaking playoff records and his contract renewal, and Drai's renewal.
This playoff run was a nightmare for Flames fans but I can happily rest easy knowing this was absolutely the pinnacle and apex of the McDrai Oilers.
