This is probably an unpopular opinion, however McDavid doesn't look happy, doesn't have good body language and is giving the puck away in both zones like crazy.
Is McDavid sending a message that he doesn't want to be here? Even his interviews are "meh, whatever" and super dismissive and nonchalant. He looks like he wants out.
The point is, the team feeds off of the behaviour and attitude of their captain and leaders. If he was no nonsense and was playing hard and smart hockey, we'd likely see a sharper team. Instead, it looks like he's being forced to go out there and has decided to play pond shinny instead of NHL hockey.
This is the same thing that happened with Draisaitl last year. He had this blasé attitude and was playing like he didn't care... and the team looked rough. These two need to be committed to playing hockey and giving a damn, and the team will rally around them. I will say that Drai looks fine so far; he's in the mix and is in the fight.
This is either going to be a 5 - 4 game for the Oil, or a 7 - 0 blowout for the Flames.
