Sadly, that narrative wouldn't hold up. McDavid and Draisaitl were dominant when paired together and so now it was critical to find another story line:

Monahan and Gaudreau one shot on net each.
The trend here is EDM's stars outplaying CGY's more often than not. A feisty game like this one has never been Gaudreau's cup of tea.
|
Gaudreau had of course drawn the earlier penalty on Draisaitl that Spector had lamented, and had scored that powerplay goal too.
|
Just some top flight analysis here by the former president of the PHWA. I don't know if anyone here knows this, but Johnny Gaudreau is not as good of a hockey player as Connor McDavid.
And Monahan is probably Calgary's 5th or 6th best player at this point if you include Markstrom.

Well, Eric Francis wrote almost exactly the same takes in his story, so it must be true, right?
It is funny that there's a high barrier to entry for those positions when the people in those positions are so decidedly mediocre. Surely they could replace people like Spector every year with a new grad from journalism school or a talented blogger.
I still think it's really funny that Matheson was a little peeved at the Athletic for not trying to hire one of the Edmonton Old Boys when they were setting up their roster.
In case you weren't done laughing at Edmonton media for today, here's David Staples spreadsheet on his rankings for Oilers Performance Rankings:
It's becoming one of the Laws of Oilers Twitter that anything that David Staples says is wrong...
