I wonder how much of this production was the Flames themselves committing errors. Shaky goaltending and giving up too many odd man rushes. Some rushes are earned, but a bunch in game 3 were gifted.

As much as we've seen Connor be a force in the playoffs this year (he was almost impossible to hit off the puck), I've seen similar beast mode moments from MacKinnon, even more so with the strength and drive. After the top players on each team, I think the Avs have a more consistent bunch together.

Oil - Draisaitl....Nuge/Hyman/Kane
Avs - Rantanen/Landeskog/Kadri/Makar

Oilers fans will argue the best two players in the series are McDavid and Draisaitl. But it's actually McDavid and MacKinnon. Drai is third for sure.
