Look, unpopular opinion maybe but I think I’ve noticed the main difference in McDavid’s game vs Eichel’s.
Obviously McDavid is the better overall player, he makes plays and scores out of absolutely nothing, no one can dispute that.
But. But I will say. As many goals as Connor scores, Jack assists on just as many. This has definitely developed since his Buffalo days. He also makes plays out of nothing, but he’s the one that gets the puck to the player who scores. At least this season, and particularly during the Florida series. The difference is that Connor has…two? players that he can count on. Jack has like eleven. Jack is one piece of a well oiled machine. Connor has to be the machine. (Plus one German of course)
Ok, so I'm just now watching Game 5 of Knights vs. Cats and it's the 2nd period and the score is now 4-1 for the Knights. I guess that's it then. This is the worst. Sasha has lead the most unexpected team to the finals and he still won't win. I'm so sad. For him.
Okay obviously I’m okay with Vegas winning this but I’m absolutely heartbroken for the cats. And these announcers are not making it easier. Stop pinning this loss on the absence of Matthew Tkachuk, this is a Vegas win through and through.
I just hate it when they pin a loss on one player. Especially my emotional support rat.
