@highliner64 @JasonGregor What are you even talking about? They had 6 x 20 goal scorers. 8 x 18 goal scorers. Scoring wasnt an issue. Having all 4 centers injured was a huge factor. PK was bad but ducks also had 5 PP goals bounce off an Oiler. Zero puck luck. OT winner was also unlucky bounce.

[Declan @declanl_12]

@JonathanWillis Worth noting they had some bad luck on the PK with 4 goals deflected in off Oilers players, or a bounce out to an open guy for an open net. I dont think it was as horrible as 50%.

@thegoldenmuzzy Holy fuck how do you get a vote? Embarrassing

Bouchard made a meaningless error for the first time in months and Avs + casual fans say this is why he’s bad defensively (despite having better numbers than Makar) and claiming the “eye test”

So here’s a thread of specific moments where Makar has also “failed” the eye test ⬇️

@CrispyRoutes84 @realwilliam59 @TopTierPucks Nice hyperbole. McDavid has the edge in peak 5v5 scoring rates since his debut, with several seasons that rank as high or higher than Crosby's. Your claim is complete BS. Show the stats to back that up. You can't

@StayFrosty_11 @KevinMcCurdy Elbow to the face is clean?

[Declan @declanl_12]

@KevinMcCurdy Same amount of games Mcdavid got for cross checking midget Garland. Hilariously inconsistent and embarrassing.

@ryanwhitney6 Ice been tilted for Canada all game

[Declan @declanl_12]

@LukaOhtani @ryanwhitney6 @spittinchiclets Short tournament. Exactly what I'm saying. Chemistry matters. Same reason Kunitz went in 2024. He wasn't a star goal scorer.
Mcdavid plays better him.

[Declan @declanl_12]

@LukaOhtani @ryanwhitney6 @spittinchiclets Just because you play with Mcdavid doesn't mean you will have auto chemistry or score 30 with ease.Hyman is his only consistent winger to score 30 playing with him. Mcdavid plays better with him. Mcdavid didnt have much chemistry with anyone at 4 nations. Familiarity matters.

[Declan @declanl_12]

@LukaOhtani @ryanwhitney6 @spittinchiclets Lead last year and year before in high danger chances in the entire NHL. Most slot shots too. He has also scored the 5th most goals past couple years out of ALL Canadian players. Most goals since November this year too. Forchechecking puck retreaving menace. Delete your post.

@JFreshHockey The low save percentage is a direct correlation of Doughty not being very good with giveaways, bad passes and the speed of the game and his aging boots, no? Leaving his goaltender in situations to make constant grade A saves.

[Declan @declanl_12]

@Stallman1989 @thegoldenmuzzy Considering they're 24th in the league for pp opportunities this year and last year and have been top 5 or leading the league in 5x5 goals and play past couple years.... nice BS narrative though.

[Declan @declanl_12]

@EdmOilerlytics @estras0 It was 20 to 7 in high danger for Edmonton after the 2nd. Sportsnet posted the stats.
This makes no sense.

@mathewjdp Emberson comes out. Easiest decision ever.

[Declan @declanl_12]

@ScubaDocJMP @TopDownHockey You couldn't be more wrong.

Edm vs Dal

Depth goal share
Edm: 63.8%
Dal: 36.7%

Depth xgoal share
Edm: 54.9%
Dal: 46.0%

Dal is getting outplayed/outscored without Rantanen/Robertson on the ice.
