It’s a playoff miracle! And just in time for Easter too.
McDavid rolls back the stone of many injuries to rise up to get a point in the very last regular season game against the very last place team in only 17:31 of ice time!
Who says individual awards don’t matter eh?
The miracle is that it’s a 100 point season! Another one!

The narrative will be that McDavid is so mature and such a leader that he's reducing his own point totals to help the team in other areas. He's the modern day Yzerman.

fair enough- (and I know you are saying with tongue in cheek)
now the first Wings cup winning team had 8 HOFers on it- we will give the Oilers Draisaitl and Perry in the ageing maybe category
5 more to go including a few on Defence! (Bouchard doesn't count, neither does Nuge btw- although not only is he one of the sure fire seven he may also be destined for the hall)

That is absolute blasphemy.

So, the Oilers/Sportsnet headline caps McDavid's season by saying, "Oilers' McDavid moves into tie for third most 100-point seasons in win over Sharks"
They could be framed in very differently if they weren't Oiler fanboys:
McDavid's point totals declined sharply again this season, going from a peak of 153 two years ago, to 132 last year to 100 this season.
McDavid's 26 goals are the lowest since his rookie season when he only played 45 games.
McDavid finished tied for fifth in league scoring, which is the lowest since his rookie season (45 games).
Is Connor on the downside of his career? He clearly can no longer be considered the best player in the world.
By the way, the count of 30 goal scorers landed at 1.
Oiler rookies accounted for 6 games played and one point. The future is dim in Edmonton.

Don't forget that the Oilers were too scared to play him against LA for a meaningful game and preferred to let him play and pick up his one point against the last place team.

The way the b team played, sitting Mavi tells me that the dirty play was premeditated else LA would have run Mavi.

Especially since Nurse is a repeat offender, and not just a 'single previous offence' repeat offender.
Been lurking around some various Kings boards...and their fans are pretty clear about how dirty and cheap the Coilers are. Everyone knows they are NG...except the NHL, it seems.

Oh god.... I think I just heard Seravalli on the DFO rundown playoff preview refer to Draisaitl and McDavid as 'two of the greatest playoff performers of all time'. Frank - they haven't won anything bro.

I really want these losers and their media lackeys and bootlickers out of the playoffs. Relegated too!
Spector advises that greasyballs are “rounding into form at perfect time” and then proceeds to say that they finished 3rd in a division they intended to win.
One win against the last place team in the league. But healthy! But Mavi! But pissy! But skinner! But Kane! But other old faceless drones with numbers on an ugly shirt so that knobby can identify them for defensive zone faceoffs! But 101 points as stars relaxed off ice! But Mavi has risen from hibernating to get 100 points again!
In case you missed it, there’s also a section (again) dedicated to mavi’s current string of 100 point seasons; just try to keep him out of the lineup! In case you can somehow read the article online, but can’t click the link to watch the video, spector also breathlessly describes mavi’s point! Amazing! Phenomenal! Fellating! Gotta keep the nose in the feed tray AND hit the word count!
Yeah. Come on LA. Just win.

Playoff performers. Sort of like the participant ribbon. "Well, you boys certainly did perform in the playoffs. Good boys. No prizes though, those are for winners, and you are definitely NOT winners, you are participants."
