McDavid played 20:25 last night. Leon 21:52. So right in your range. What's the problem?
|
Leon playing 26+ minutes in both the first two games is the problem. Those are obscene, lead the league in ice time numbers. Last night they rode Neal (over 21 mins) and McD and Leon were DOWN to 22ish minutes. Unless last night is the new normal, something needs to change.
|
And that's a game where they had a 3+ goal lead from the 30 minute mark on. Even the Islander in-game crew was commenting in the third period about how much ice time those two were still getting.
|
This is a very important distinction.
I think it is clear that when the game is close the two stars are going to be ran hard. We saw this twice.
Last nights game was never in question so the stars got a rest.
The 3-0 start is great and I am enjoying the heck out of it. I highly doubt that 1 in games the Oilers have the luxury of resting the top 2
I still have big concerns with the bottom 6 pulling enough weight to supplement normal usage from McDavid and Drai. If this team has a shot at the playoffs it is likely going to ride on Batman and Robin dragging the team there on high minute usage.
I am pleasantly surprised by some players so far and hope it continues. I like that Kassian and Neal are scoring. I know they are top 6 but it anything past the Big 3 should be considered a win at this point. I think Haas and Jurco are going to be capable NHL'ers and they were unknowns to me.
The added speed this year is a positive. The pace overall has been nice to watch. The overall puck moving from the blue line is good as well. Bear especially has handled the added pressure and minutes better than I expected.
This team is still full of holes but there are more positives than there has been in many years.
None of those positives will matter if McDavid and/or Drai burn out. The upside here is that both look to be in amazing shape. There were some reports that Drai was like a machine in fitness testing. Hopefully they are able to tough it out.
