Why it's unwise to bury the Oilers' power play, and other observations going into Game 3
ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Edmonton Oilers put on a power-play horror show in Game 2 on Wednesday night, and their first-round playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks is tied 1-1-because of it. We’re not here to argue otherwise.It wasn’t that Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and co. failed to score in 7 minutes, 50 seconds with the man advantage (though they did); it’s that McDavid nearly went out of his way to create a third-period short-handed goal by Ryan Poehling, one that put the Ducks up 4-2 on their way to a a 6-4 victory. There’s garden-variety discombobulation, and then there’s whatever led to McDavid throwing a blind backhand pass to nobody, deep in his own zone.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
