I’m not sure how many playoffs need to go by before ppl realize it’s a team sport. You need depth everywhere on the roster to go far. The oilers blue line is suspect and the last line of defence was a 40 year old.

No matter what Toronto fans think, or what the media says, you can't deny that McDavid and Drai are at the top of the game right now, putting up stupid numbers in the last 3 years, whether they're together or apart. I'm a HUGE Matthews fan so you haters can give it a rest, just enjoy that these two young players are amazing to watch right now, and it's a treat that they're on the same team. Their playoff performance this year was historical (with Drai badly injured too).

To my fellow Oilers fans: It's a great time to be alive. Soak it in and enjoy it. We will likely never see talent like this again, and the team is united and believe in themselves. I don't want to come off as a homer or over confident, but I truly believe that if Ken Holland can navigate the cap crunch he's in and bring in a depth piece, the Oilers have what it takes to win a cup. Lord knows how long we suffered to get back here. ❤ 🏒

People often ask if McDavid needs to win a Cup in order to be considered the GOAT. Chopin never wrote an opera, but he's still one of the most important composers in music history (in that period, writing an opera was mandatory to be remembered as a great composer). What makes Chopin so important in music is his exceptional contribution and innovation to the piano repertoire and approach. After him, no one would write or play piano like we used to. That's exactly what's happening with Connor McDavid in hockey. True genius doesn't need an award to be remembered and acknowledged. McDavid has already achieved what no other player achieved before him : play the game with an unprecedented speed, intensity, wit, leadership and intelligence. He makes hockey more beautiful to watch than ever, making non-hockey people watch the game more closely. Winning the Cup will be so well-deserved for McDavid. Nevertheless, the Cup will simply be the topping on the ice cream -- a topping that will reiterate his already more-than-obvious GOAT status.

[@thedude4964]

[@kensellar]

With all that talent, they still caved disastrously against Colorado. Something seriously wrong with the team, in spite of a nice Cup run. Goaltending collapsed. McDavid needed to be even more out of this world and get a hat trick plus a couple assists in at least two games, like Gretzky had done many times before when he knew he had to carry the team. Draisaitl needed more goals plus the assists, and he didn't do that. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why McDavid is still not in the category of Gretzky. He's close, but he's still on the outside of that rarified atmosphere looking in.

[@independentmind7782]

Hockey’s a team sport.

[@mathewwelsh9129]

I've been watching the Oilers since 1981. McDavid is absolutely in the category with Gretzky. His numbers in some ways were comparable or better during the playoffs. (I'm just recalling the announcers calling the game and sharing various stats during their 3 series this year, no specifics for you.) And Gretzky himself says the game is faster today, and that it's harder to score. So if McDavid is matching or exceeding some of G's stats in today's game, he's at the same level. His reading of the ice, the anticipation, the passing, his vision, it's exceptional and it's comparable to Gretzky.

[@tamman994]

Depth was our issue, hopefully that’ll be solved after all those new signings along with a decent goalie

[@tonylouie4429]
