HOLY CRAP!!! McDavid looked pissed off and decided he was going to teach the Avs a lesson for the San Jose game. Maybe the moms after the San Jose game said the worst thing you can hear from your parents "I'm not mad, I am just disappointed."
I know there is concern about McDavid and Leon scoring so many goals but at the same time, everything is just going in for them. They have played under 19 mins the last 4 games in a row. The only alternative is to bench them which why would you do that.
I though the team actually played really well. He didn't score but I though Archibald looked good on Nuge's wing and brought speed to it. PK was great. PP was 4-6. The defense was pretty solid. I didn't like the 2 goals against but other than that Smith was good.
So far, the Oilers aren't going into the big slumps they usually go into. In the past, a game like San Jose would put them into a tailspin but this time they came out and boot stomped the Avs.
I think any worry that Tippet and him bringing in actual structure and trying to cut down goals against would stunt McDavid and Leon's offense is gone. They defend way less and by not spending as much time in the defensive zone, they get more offensive chances.

The important thing is that Sheahan didn't score.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
