McDavid’s speed when he makes his zone entries from his own zone or the neutral zone (center ice) into the opposing zone is something else….he’s such an exciting skater to watch.

Sad Gretzky

Florida looked exhausted in OT. Dunno if it was just the travel or if it's a bad omen being that tired one game in.

Gretzky was spittin. Never seen the Panthers dump for icing and giving so many possessions/faceoffs away like that before.

Maybe they were tired. They'll come out with edge g2 no doubt.

He one of the best skaters I have ever seen play hockey. He really does just glide.

I swear Everytime he's on the ice something happens.

When the Oilers have him and draisatl on the ice at the same time it's criminal

Because FLA wasn't able to roll their 4th line the way they did last year. Maurice doesn't trust them dudes. While the Oilers line of Podz/ Janny/ Kap was banging bodies and creating havoc all night. That will wear on you even in a Game 1 OT, let alone over the course of a long grueling series

Pretty pathetic that the NHL can't market the current GOAT athlete on the planet right now

Marketing of NHL is piss poor

Wnba gets higher ratings than NHL now

Can't bench your star goalie and think you can come back

To be fair, McDavid isn’t exactly a vibrant personality either. I’m like anytime he talks lol. So the players themselves (especially the Canadian ones) being warped into that “hockey culture” bs is a problem too.

McDavid is on killer mode this year in his interviews
Pissed when people suggest we cant play defence
Pissed when people are surprised that other depth players are contributing
He's got one goal only, could give a fukk about the media

If Edmonton wins tonight it’s over
