The Flames need to come up with a way to play against him, he's too fast and will get around our D every time. We need to find a way to isolate him, keep the puck off his stick, cream every Oiler that touches the puck before McDavid can get it. Johnny and Mony started to up their game by the second half of the 3rd, but it was too late by then. We need to be more offensive against the Oilers, get them to come from behind, their D fold under pressure, but we didn't put any pressure on them, we were too scared of McDavid getting the puck.
The Flames always start slow though, last night was pretty typical of a season opener for them. We better cream Winnipeg Saturday though, Flames can't start on a losing streak again, we need to get home ice for the playoffs!
