Hate to gripe about 97 because well…
But he really needs to figure out his 5 on 5 game. 102 pts (+2) 50 points on the PP.
And why is it so important to have him out there on the PK? I don’t want my PK’ers thinking offence and cheating. I want them getting in lanes and blocking shots. The Oilers and their coaches are always wanting to strut their cute little weapons.
Yes there are 2 sets of rules for players on every team, but the gap on this team is enormous. Foegele complained about forwards not helping out the D and forwards taking extended shifts too often. That’s the leaders right there he’s talking about. Hopefully he didn’t take a turn onto Perron Street with those comments.
Simplifying the game and piling up some wins would be refreshing.

It was an interesting game because while generally I agree with you, you did see the leaders visibly making some great plays on the backcheck. Draisaitl and Hyman both on the same shift at one point.
And looking at the goals, I don't know that I agree that it's a backchecking issue. That MacKinnon goal - he just rushes in and takes a long shot. Goalie has to have that. Maybe would have been better for a more controlled exit from Nuge ahead of that. The 2nd goal was in transition too. Great sequence in the Colorado end, and the Avs turn around on the breakout. Ceci blocks the pass in to his own goal. Fourth goal, McDavid could have closed in faster, but again goalie can't play that that way. Not sure what Campbell was doing, but it was ineffective. Some scrambly play just ahead of that for sure. The fifth - the team is running around and there's a bunch of guys who don't seem to be where they should be. Ceci is in no man's land 15 feet away from the defenceman shooting the puck. Nurse doing a poor job with his guy in front. The third line guys are on the ice and they're not in shooting lanes or anywhere that's helpful.
I didn't see the first goal so can't really diagnose that one.
That said, it is notable that the top guys on this team aren't much better on +/-. They should be eating teams up at even strength and have in the past...so what's happening? I think some of it is still systems play. We want to stretch pass out of our zone all the time and we have the players racing up...it's a little too aggressive, especially since we have all of one defenceman who might be able to make that pass with any regularity. It would be good to see a little more two-way commitment from everyone in the top six.
