I mean if the Oilers had to play the Panthers in round two they would have the same fate and reputation as the "choker Leafs"

All I remember is Draisaitl being blanked for goals in 2024.
Complete not factor in that finals.
Think he was slightly more effective the last time around, but they went out in less games and I wouldnt put him in the top 5 most effective players out there for either side.
McDavid tried in 2024 but in the second meeting Bennett and Marchand were both better than him. He looked resigned to an L in the last two games as the Panthers sunk the Dagger.
And to think they believe they have as good a chance this season lol.
