Few quick thoughts:
- What a series by McDavid and Draisaitl. Those are two guys who just weren't going to be denied. They've raised their games to the absolute highest level.
- Apparently all those slashes in the ankle didn't work.
- Josh Archibald should be shuffled aside for Holloway in Game 1 of the next round. 5 goals again, none for in 28 minutes of ice-time in the 5 game series. Apparently with McDavid off the ice in that series, the Oilers were outscored 10-5, but literally half those goals against and none for with Archibald on ice. Holloway may be a rookie but he literally can't do worse.
- I think Colorado might be a better fit for us, but I really hope we get a Game 7 there, and two mean, physical games that take a serious toll on both teams. Wouldn't mind seeing the Avs with some bumps on bruises on their top players and a quick start to the next round - maybe Tuesday next week.
- A buddy of mine challenged whether I still think poorly of the job done by Ken Holland. While he hasn't only made mistakes - Hyman, Ceci, Kane and Kulak have all been solid contributors to this run - I still can't celebrate the GM in any meaningful way. We have the two best players in the game in their absolute prime. We SHOULD be Cup contenders every year, and there's a pretty strong argument to be made that we are only contenders at this point because we have the top two players in the game in their absolute prime and playing at the pinnacle of their games. McDavid's been on the ice for 38 goals for so far in the playoffs. That's more than every team but Colorado has scored. They've put this team on their back and dragged them forward. The biggest hole for the Oilers remains goaltending - our goalie coughed up Game 1 to the Kings, got destroyed in the first period of both Game 1 and Game 2 versus the Flames, let in a goal from the opposing city in Game 4 and has been average at best through this playoff. That Gaudreau goal last night was pretty stinky too. Holland is only lucky that we have been able to outscore our problems in a lot of games. There's a pretty good argument to be made that the reason we are basically only playing 9-10 forwards a night is because the GM provided a shallow pool for depth. Several of the guys he's acquired as depth guys - Turris, Sceviour, Shore, Brassard - haven't got a sniff in the post-season. And the other big reason we're winning is a coach who's only hear on an interim basis because Tippett lost a game badly in February after a terrible stretch. Woodcroft's system has done a phenomenal job at chance suppression, which is a necessity when you have a mediocre goalie. And if Tippett had won that night, Tippett keeps his job for longer, maybe all year. If the Oilers scrape in to a playoff spot, then he might have gotten extended, since the GM said he had been considering offering one just 6 weeks before he fired him. It's not like he went hunting for a replacement and thought Woodcroft was the best option either...he said he only looked at internal options. We're just lucky we got who we did. Hopefully, if we win this summer then Holland (and Keith) decide to end their careers as winners and sail off in to the sunset...
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
