@flyingmitts@KevinMcCurdy I’m just chiming in about your comment on betting. The NHL changed the way they count shots on goalies because of betting. They are fully aware what they do affects the betting world. The NHL has a few betting companies as their official sponsor.
@flyer722@connornichwiths@HockeyyInsiderr@EdmontonOilers The oilers have been to back to back Stanley cups, set an NHL record for best powerplay % the NHL has ever seen, leads the league in points by a defensmen. Bouchard has a hand in all that and he is a + 20 on a team that has been terrible defensively overall.
@PluckOg@HockeyyInsiderr@EdmontonOilers Bouchard is a +20, werenski +5, Hughes -2. Yes oilers have been terrible defensively but Bouchard has been their best defensmen by far.
@payattention412@SportsCenter If you took away every single powerplay point from McDavid he would have 25 points which would still be ahead of every players total points that’s not in an oiler uniform.
@BraggTrader @wyshynski@EdmontonOilers Zero points first 3 game?
McDavid got 1 point in game 2 and 2 points in game 3. He had 3 points in the first 3 games…. Not sure where you get your info from
@jpolly22 For the record. I don’t hate Gary Bettman, there is just a huge Canadian buzz around him in a negative way and I feel most Canadians jump in even though nobody knows why
@jpolly22 Not sure if you remember but oilers did not get any cap relief on Duncan Keith. They very well should have. Guaranteed if it was an American team the relief would have happened.
@Hanwarrior@NHL_Watcher Leetch got it for a goal record but was on a losing team. Wouldn’t McDavid deserve it for setting the assist record on a losing team. The players who won the award on the losing team either broke a record or stood on their best. McDavid is that
@CofRedCentral There was supposed to be a media availability at 6pm. A scheduled event. And they missed it and it had to be cancelled. The NHL didn’t get media footage because panthers chose to leave late. That’s all
@GritznGravy007@ProducerDrew_ McDavid had a face off percentage of 53.8% this past season. That’s much more than “can’t win a draw to save his life”. Bergeron was 61.9% which was #1 this past season. But McDavid has vastly improved in the circle and so even though not as good a Bergeron that’s still a great %
@zjlaing Voter #55 also did not select McDavid to be on either all star team. Didn’t get a top 3 pick. The same guy was only 1 of 2 to pick swayman as rookie of the year. He should not be a sports writer
@Southpaw_Cal@JeffVeillette One of the voters who didn’t have McDavid in top 5 for Hart was also the ONLY person to not select McDavid in the top 3 Center position for the allstar team. 195 votes and they were the only one. Has to be a joke….right??……
