Words fail me for how incredibly disappointed I am with a so-called generational player in his prime, like McDavid, in the biggest international game of his career, being this ineffective in a game where we need a goal and some leadership.

At the very least MacKinnon is chasing guys down like the bad guy in a horror movie.

I thought it may have been Flames fan bias when it was the cup final
Vs Florida.

But now that my bias is lifted he objectively sucks

Somehow McDavid looks completely gassed. I don’t know how it’s possible. He’s only played three games in a week with less ice time than he’s used to.

But it's intense. The guys out there are as fast as him

There's not a lot of ice, for anyone who can skate.
Hughes, MacKinnon, McDavid, Fox etc are all pretty neutralized this game.

Both teams are gumming up neutral zone and not giving up bad plays at the blue line.

Slavin is shutting him down. I'm impressed with him, as I rarely see any Canes games

McDiver gets showed down our throats 24/7/365 as by far the best player on planet earth.
Show me!
Or at least show me that you deserve ice time

Regardless of what happens; we can all rest assured McDavid & Edmonton won't win any cups.

McDavid hasn't been good, but has any superstar? It's just a slog of a game

McDavid is going to have to try and get Draisaitl to change his nationality by the olympics
