Draisiatl is just as good as Connor mcdavid and thats scary

Not sure I agree but maybe. Now ask any nhl defenseman who they would least like to battle for a puck in the corner: Draisaitl, McDavid or Captain Jack?

Are you high? Actually, your post above confirmed it.

Good post

Eichel has 77 points

Draisiatl has 97 points

Thats crazy
- toddkac

Even more crazy is how the hell Draisaitl is a -10 with 97 points.

Eichel has almost the same amount of power play points, yet he's a +13.

Which one of you guys is Kevin@ntrider825? Gotta be a HB poster

I have watched and I have no idea how you think Draisaitl is better than McDavid.

That stat is insane

Ralphie has his team settled down and producing once again.
They are 6-5-1 since All Star Break, nowhere near where they need to be to challenge for PO's...but better than I expected.

Maybe if Botts could actually engineer a trade to help the boys, they actually could be in the mix.

He has only a few inches to work with

they have pills for that

Dahlin is the QB. Risto is the disturbance in the crease. With Sam down low and Eichs/Olo as the shooters, it works. But when the other team is shutting down the umbrella, you need to adjust and work it down low. Remember the tkatchuk to pageau PPG that Ott scored? Like that.

He's not though

Drais is really freaking good

But he isn't on McDavid level

The first Edmonton-Calgary game after the whole Thackuk Kassian incident Drais was invisible for most of the game while McDavid was flat out flying

I've watched a few Oilers games this season and Drais is that sneaky good type, McDavid gets all the attention and as he should

That's not a knock on Leon but he isn't McDavid (nobody is)

I know special teams don’t matter but at age 19 Dahlin is already one of the better PP distributors in the league. I’m excited to see what he can do at age 23.

Draisatil = Malkin
McDavid = Crosby

Hopefully it will include playing defense

Risto or Montour to the leafs seems like a good fit.


Should have gotten Kadri in the last off season. A little on the older side but still has lots of game left.


GMing is hard - Big Head

Hopefully it will include playing defense

Fair enough.

You people with your labels

Best part of today’s game was Skinners goal, his big smile and the teams reaction. Very positive they stick together.
