‘They knew how good the Panthers were’: Rishaug’s takeaways from McDavid, Draisaitl



Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were both held off the scoresheet and were a combined -8 in Game 6. How frustrated were the Oilers’ stars after the loss? TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug joins SC with Jay Onrait to give his thoughts, and share if the better team won the Cup. Rishaug also discusses why Kris Knoblauch couldn’t figure out the right formula against the Panthers.

  1. McDavid looks resigned. Panthers are good. You have to be better than them to beat them. The reason Oilers lost isn't that Panthers are good, the reason is that Oilers aren't good enough. McDavid looks like there was no way of beating them. There is.

  2. Oilers were overmatched in both years. Last year should have been a sweep, 5 games at most. This year looked like a 6-game sweep. Oilers hugely lucky to win any games in this series. Knoblauch did a poor job this series — Skinner never should have seen the ice after Game 3. It's a series; once the other team has your goalie figured out, you can't just throw him back out there. In his defense, Pickard is pretty bad as well. Can't put your two best players on one line in the playoffs — you make the other team's coach's job twice as easy.

  3. Game 6 and 7 last year , McDavid zero pts. Game 6 this year Zero Pts. Florida is the best all round 200 ft team since the 80 to 83 Islanders. Florida has 4 lines and 6 D deep and a GOALIE.

  4. Florida had four working lines we had two……..Florida played their youth, Oilers hate their youth…….Florida has a goaltender, Oilers have two backups! Florida has a coach that lets his players play, we have a coach that mangles lines by the minute…….enough said!

  5. The emotion more than anything crumbled these guys. Same thing as last year. They just didnt handle it and it broke them. Stick slamming, coasting, not getting to the bench?!? I mean in a normal NHL game thats crazy, the final? Man oh man

  6. Oilers were worse then the leafs. They never showed up for the last 2 games. They got whipped in the last 2 games, plus superstars McDavid and Draisaitl did nothing in the last 2 games. And McDavid only one goal in the finals and this guy wants to be the goat. Let's hope the Oilers don't get back for a third time just to get beat again.

  7. As a Stars fan, I thought McDavid and Draisatl were just straight up unstoppable. Boy did Florida show me how it's done

  8. To bad for the oilers and maybe get rid of kane he showed that he is a poor excuse for a hockey player for not coming out of the dressing room to join the hand shake line on the ice very poor sport do yourself a favor Edmonton get rid of the bum

  9. In order to win more championships Canada has bid for expansions in NBA WNBA MLB NFL MLS UFL no excuse if they want championships in Canada
