Oh man, Draisaitl was just an absolute machine this series.

[@connorhauss6044]

Playing with an injury to boot

[@angryassyrian5627]

Yea man this thumbnail is fitting to their gameplay

[@UndeadPenutbutter]

Except for Connor and Leon, no one in the entire playoffs have scored more than 15 points. Leon got 17 in 5 games, wtf how???

[@MrDoom-re7hc]

Ya right it’s insane. I believe that’s an NHL record. I think Leon surpassed Wayne Gretzky by 2 points. Maybe only one but still.

[@alexandrapreston7283]

The record is held by Middleton with 19 points, if the series would've gone further, Draisaitl definitely would've passed him

[@Jbuffham]

Markstrom, that is how.

[@Imugi007]

@@Jbuffham yep. As crazy good as McDavid and Draisaitl were, I think Markstrom's performance was the real story of the series, imo.

[@onjah56]

@@Imugi007 Oilers had the book on Markstrom, take a look how often they targeted his left ribs right above the pad and watch how many slip by that really should've been clean saves. Not saying that was the only reason what happened happened, but it definitely gave them the extra couple goals they shouldn't have had to claw their way back into the games they got down early.

[@danielnam9026]

So when they pulled the fusion from DBZ they instantly become the legendary "One Guy" the Flames players and Sutter have been talking about. Shoutout to the guy who made the thumbnail.

[@stukenukem]

The "one player" that was beating them that Calgary was whining about turned out to be Draisaitl. And he has high ankle sprain! No doubt McDavid and Draisaitl led the team. But not one player decides the series. You can't discredit the amazing job Woodcroft has done with this Team since taking over

[@ilkka5267]

I believe Woodcroft was known as Witchcraft in the 80's

[@Scheif]

Hyman and Kane did very well too!

[@henri2868]

Dynamic duo

[@SleepLess_Plays]

They're both currently tied in points with 26 a piece, (7 Goals, 19 Assists) UNREAL!

[@edminchau811]

And Evander Kane has 12 goals, largely due to those guys.

[@KasimirStanley]

@@edminchau811 give him his credit. These boys have been fabulous for years but they've been missing that third guy to come along for the ride for a while.

[@jwscheuerman]

@@KasimirStanley Exactly. The Kane and Hyman additions show how inane Sutter's comments about a one-man team are. Oilers fans have seen what happens with 2 superstars and a weak supporting cast, and it ain't this!

[@cskvision]

Their points stats are just insane.

[@philipdawson7800]

They're actually exactly tied at 26 points each for the playoffs. They both have 7 goals & 19 assists each. Nobody else in the playoffs has more than 15 points (Kane, Kucherov, Zibanejad)!!

[@codychickadee5095]

Smith also has pumped out a wild stat with a .931 savepercentage! Second highest in playoffs history!!

[@edminchau811]

Both Draisatl and McDavid are on pace to beat Wayne Gretzky's record for most points in a playoffs; they both have 7 goals and 19 assists, the record is 47 points. Evander Kane has 12 goals after two series; the record is 19, shared by Reggie Leach and Jari Kurri, and he's on a pace to blow past 20. I haven't seen an Oiler team play like this in the playoffs since the early 80s.

This whole playoffs has been the coolest experience I’ve ever had the luxury of watching. I was there for Gretzky and Messier when we won the Stanley Cup over and over, but this is something else.

[@PyrrhoVonHyperborea]

@BlackEcology How insufferably _IGNORANT_ can any one single person be, huh? Unbelievable! Draisaitl broke atleast 2 *all time* records this series: - most points in a BOA (17 in just 5 games -- previous one was 14 in more(?) games, both by Gretzky and Messier) and - most assists in a single period (4) in the playoffs ... Also, his 17p in a series is just 2 shy of 19 (was it?) -- the all time record of any series! ... and 5 consecutive 3+ point games (3+3+4+3+4) also seems very record-ish to me. Or how about thos 15 assists in a series? .. Oh: and he's also the 4th fastest *all time* to reach 50+p in the playoffs (33 games). McD cannot underbid him in that category! But with folks like you that's *never enough.* "McDavid is stirring the drink here - make no mistake about it!" FO! - you people would have Adam Oates be "just the product of Hull/Neely/Bondra" ... Effing pathetic! It beggars belief! And while these two are tied (both at 7+19=26 in just 12 games; running away from the field!) in PO-points this year, whilst Drai, despite being a pass-first-guy (!!), already has multiple 50+goals&100+points season under his belt (only 26 players in the entire history of the NHL ever managed that feat; he's the only one active other than Ovechkin!), and despite his amazing wrister & one-timer _being off_ right now due to injury, & in spite of all his other amazing feats... YOI are still gonna sit there, cherrypicking "primary assists", to diminuish his accomplishments. Unbelievable! "Yeah... - that's because: that other guy!" BS! Noone is gonna be so *reliably amazing* & recordbreaking _just because some other guy!_ Anyone who thinks that is totally and utterly [...]! *It's YOU people,* that made McDavid *himself* annoyedly state, multiple times in the past, that Leon is one of the *most underrated* players in *the entire league!* I thought we were past that? What happens, when you _forget about Drai?_ - *this* _Battle Of Alberta_ happens! Leon does all this while still being handicapped by injury. Effing amazing! With their current trajectory, provided they make it to the finals (i), these two may both (! both (! both, ffs.!!)!) beat Gretzkys all time record of 46p (17g+30a) in a playoffs (admittedly, Wayne did so in just 18 games!); or lift E. Kane (!) into the olymp for goals (19/playoffs; he has 12 in 12 games so far, thanks to playing with the 2 best players in the world!); or beat the assists record (31) for that matter! They are BOTH far and away SUPERSTARS, towering over the league! If Leon was Canadian, we probably wouldn't even be having this debate; not _like THIS, at least!_ i) Oilers are the 2nd best team in the league, *since Woodcroft took over,* btw.; they just obliterated thevteam being "no. 1" during that stretch (if going by percentages, they are third, having eliminated no.2; first would be florida, *in that case!)* )
