To the surprise of no one McDavid is likely to beat the forward record for ice time ever since ice time has been recorded. Sustainable. It's funny how McDavid's ice time increased from an already absurd level with McLellan. Both coaches know that the Oilers are so paper thin in depth that their only hope is to put McDavid on the ice and pray, and it being the. If it was not for Kostkinen coming out of nowhere, the Oilers would be fighting LA for the bottom of the league.
We saw a glimpse of a McDavid less team this week and it was ugly. Oilers fans better pray in their ceremonial jogging pants that McDavid never gets hurt.

Thankfully he stays 10+ ft away from the boards at all times

Ah, yes, but McDavid has not won much of anything at any level. A "winner" he is not—at least, not yet.

They're going to be champions someday, so why not just assume they are right now?

Tardy's got more intelligence in his eyes than Poolparty.
Poolparty looks more like George "the Animal" Steele.

Everything Mcdavid says in that video sounds so forced, so uncomfortable. Its like its a speech shot under duress, like he's just going through the motions and saying what he needs to, not actually invested or believing it

Does anyone have a link to the E=NG thread when the Oilers blew that 3-0 lead against Anaheim in the playoffs? I would love to read it.

Nonsense man, you clearly have not spent enough time around Bangkok, fans of 'Hello Kitty' or Cults.
That is a man that has been indoctrinated. They own his soul now. He doesnt know why, or when it happened (likely the Draft) but 'The Oil' has him now.
He has to say these things because if he doesnt the only alternative is to acknowledge and embrace the cold, dark reality that is the vacuous sense of self-loathing that has become his existence.
The Oilers are currently good enough to win it all and return Edmonton to 1984.
They have to be.
Or else Connor McDavid has made a terrible mistake....

McDavid and the Oilers take it right to the edge as Anaheim grabs 3-2 series lead
"When the Abyss stares into Connor McDavid (1g, 1a, 2pts, -1), Connor McDavid stares back."
Such were the words of the Edmonton Oilers' General Manager, Peter Chiarelli, upon arriving back at Edmonton International the morning after an aching 4-3, double-overtime plundering by the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night. "He's still getting his first taste of the playoffs and the injuries, tough calls, and hard stretches that a team has to play through to win. You can't ask more from your Captain at 20," added Chiarelli.
Before fielding any further questions about the game, which saw the Oilers' squander a 3-0 lead with less than four minutes to go, Chiarelli was addressed by unabashed, 4-and-a-half year old Tabitha DeMarquez. "Mister Chiarelli, why won't Collie McDoggy wake up this morning?" asked the littlest McDavid fan, her tiny arms overloaded with an eerily silent puppy-sized pet carrier.
Unable to break away from the gaze of the child, Chiarelli gently lifted the carrier from her arms, and just once reached in to stroke the still, furry form wearing a hand-knit, blue and orange #97 sweater. "Oh, I think he's just tired from cheering his little heart out, sweetie. Everything will be fine...just fine... You'll see," stated Chiarelli before locking eyes with the girl's father and wordlessly handing the carrier back. "Did you hear that, daddy? Collie McDoggy is going to be okay now!" said Tabitha.
Further questions about how the Oilers were planning on handling Ducks' forward Ryan Getzlaf, who has posted ten points in the five game series so far, were cut off by Chiarelli, who, after searching the crowd for a friendly face, stated only, "Hold me, Gene."

2) McDavid signs for 15 million dollars a season.
3) Russell is signed to a 5 year deal for 4.15 million a year to solidify the defence long term.
4) Pitlick is signed by Vegas and is the player the Oilers lose in the expansion draft...
