McCabe looked really good. Interested to see if that keeps up. He seems to be very good for a few, off for a few

The Sekera Syndrome as I call it


However I will take 4 good to great games out of 5 from him all day long.

I went to last night's game and I said to my friend Connor McDavid, when he starts skating from his own end is like watching a bit of Gil Perreault reincarnated.
,
I went to the Pittsburgh game and last nights game and McDavid was much more noticeable, dynamic, exciting than Crosby. Does that make him a better player now? No, but he is a fun to watch and when he matures, learns the nuances to play a complete game, watch out.

He is the better player now. IMO and it is not close.

"Easy" to win when your team scores more than 3 goals (the number he's allowed in each of his last 3 games (all wins)

Last 7 games, Nilsson has allowed 1 less goal than Lehner, yet has 3 more wins over that span. Pretty sure the goaltending isn't why he's earning wins and Lehner isn't.

But he is making more saves..... .932 vs .921

A bit off topic but i love the set up in net. You could long term potentially have a solid 1a 1b tandem at a cut price because neither net minder could accumulate enough wins/other stats to demand a huge raise. Free's up a lot of cap to spend up front or on the blueline.

I really thought Edmonton was going to address him trying to hit McDavid in open ice. I was surprised that even Lucic did nothing.

that's what I have been talking about for years


when the team turns the corner you have 5 mil invested per in 2 goalies instead of 7 or 8, mostly invested in 1

That would be a real female dog move by the Oil. Even McD (eff him) said he knew he had it coming after he crosschecked McCabe in the first period.

They really have no one to do that on their team. They are just learning how to win. Mr. Lucic is on his last legs anyways. I don't think he could address a fly landing on McDavid.

I loved in the offseason how the tronna media was claiming lucic playing with McDavid was the creation of a dynasty......idiots..

True. I don't like how players have to fight after delivering a clean hit, but you know that's how the league is now. And, it's always been that way if you hit a superstar.

They can't keep him. It's an emergency recall.

If I understand correctly he's played the amount of games he was eligible for and has to go back down.
