But factor in… he has 32 points correct? Second in the league next to Draisaitl.
You snicker about his power at scoring goals… getting assists. Yet somehow you are blind to the fact… McDavid has a +/- of 4.
That means… while he was on the ice… the other teams scored 28 times… to his 32 points.
Is that a concern for you from a standpoint of getting a Stanley Cup?
I would be tickled pink to have the Oilers win the cup. I’m a huge fan. Have been for ever.
However… looking past the silly My city’s team is better than yours and I’m blind to our failures… McDavids weaker on defence.
Another way to look at it is Johnny has contributed 14 net point for the Flames. McDavid 4 net points for the Oilers.
I was just surprised. Johnny is credited with 4 hits. Draisaitl 6.
