In my opinion, this team rightly or wrongly decides how it's going to play based on how McD comes out early. If McD comes out in his first few shifts flying, finishing his checks and playing how he is supposed to defensively, the rest follow suit. If McD comes out sluggish, if he doesn't finish his checks, doing all the little things or if he is loose defensively, like he was I felt for the first period last game, the team follows his lead.

I get he's their best player and playing the right way defensively and coming firing first shift for the whole team, shouldn't be contingent on how 1 guy does, but for this team it appears to be the case. McD has to come out playing sound hockey first shift to set the tone.
