They just have to win 4 straight. No problem. ;D

In all honesty, I thought Winnipeg would be a tough out for Edmonton. Certainly not 3-0, but beating Hellebuyck four times and a talented Jets team that underperformed in the regular season is not an easy task. They are fully capable of coming out of the division.

That being said, Edmonton has NO secondary scoring. If Kassian is your third best threat, you're screwed. Nugent-Hopkins has entered one of the worst 1st overall picks territory.

Man watching the presser and McDavid looks like he wants out of Edmonton. Lol.

He's not great but hardly one of the worst all time. Patrik Stefan? Nail Yakupov? He has a great playoff last year. The whole team is built poorly.

He's certainly not a useless bust like those two and Daigle. But he's nowhere near close to the 1st overall picks in recent years, and scrapes that lower tier of picks.

But you're right, the team is built poorly. No depth up front, a weak D after Nurse, and Smith is a has been.

Pretty disappointed in myself for turning off the game at 4-1

If you take away their head-to-head series, Edmonton only earned 3 more points than Ottawa. They're a bad team that got a boost from dominating another bad team.

Didn't know that, that's an interesting stat.

I always had the Jets as one of the top two teams in the division. I was pretty surprised that the Oilers passed them, but McDavid was pretty much doing it all to try and get 100 pts.

Man the Jets had no pressure on them passing the puck around on the PP. 1-0 Jets.

1-1 McD with the wrap around. Hoping the Oil can win 3 games!

I'm torn.  As much as I want them beating up on each other I would also like to try and avoid a second back-to-back this postseason
