playmaker mcd is way more scary than goal-scorer mcd because you have to watch out for all of his teammates, too lol
Yup. He's helping Hyman become a superstar. Makes everyone on his line look good.
@my3dviews i know its the first game and he cant keep up 5 points a night. But hes on pace for 80+ playoff points lol.
@@MrCanadianhero You never know. 😄 I'd settle for two or three points per game, as long as they win. 😀
Да это правда!
I find it insane how intelligent McDavid plays the game.
6:06 I've never seen anyone score consistently like that, from such a sharp angle as Draisaitl does.
Oilers fans literally call that Leon's Office.

He's a machine. Well built German engineering right there.

True that. Currie was at least at 33 degrees. Dry at 25 degrees or less is a phenom.
Do you ever randomly think to yourself how lucky you are to be living in a time period where you get to see Connor McDavid play?
Not really.....🤠 I watched Gretzgy trounce the flames too many times

I got to see the Gretzky era and the McDavid era. Oilers looking really good so far. Other than the bad start of the regular season.

McDavid doing McDavid things also in Playoffs. 5 Assists is great. The Chemistry between Hyman and McDavid is insane. McDavid makes everyone in the team better with his skills and Game intelligence
Well he does have that Gretzgy eye for passing and where every one is on the ice but it will Take a couple of CUPS for me to Believe. Until then for me GRETZ is still the great one
"I heard Connor yell 'Hey!!' so I put my stick on the ice. Then my stick shuddered. Then I heard the goal horn..."
McDavid is a literal tornado the way he spins and tears apart the other team
McDavid is a Hockey Savant!! 5 point night and he coulda easily got 3 more points tonight... what a GAMER!! That hattie by Hyman was sooo satisfying to see too 🔥. Good to see good people have good games. 4 point night for Bouchard... underrated Dman.
Bouchard is most improved defenceman in the NHL this season...easy!
Hyman is a dork.
Mcdavid behind the net reminded me of Gretzky but at 2x the speed Absolutely unreal. Edmonton you are truly lucky to have Connor.
Lucky is right, thanks to the stupid draft lottery system. Edmonton should have been disqualified from that year they got mcdavid.
@@MikeG42 womp womp
He looked a bit like a more athletic Gretzky camped out in his office.
Gretzky was too busy slowing the pace,circling, dipsy and doodling away and using perfect time ice management to be concerned about speed. Did you know Gretzky has more assists in NHL history than anyone else has points? I bet that can't remotely resonate in that brain of yours Care For More?

Cup is the only thing that matters
When you're up by 4 you can afford to allow a flukey goal here or there.
A goal is a goal. The Oilers aren’t going to make it very far in the playoffs if they’re letting in four (arguably five) goals per game.
@@nrdify 2 of them were flukes. A guy's stick breaking while making a pass in his own zone would lead to a goal against for most teams lol

Oilers played like they want a cup this year, but it's a very good sign when 3 of the luckiest goals i've ever seen go in in one game for the Kings and they still win by 3 goals.
Empty netter for Edmonton, and I'd say two fortunate goals for the Kings. Kings also had that iffy one taken back which idk, I feel it should have stood. Lewis didn't intentionally use his glove. Don't know the rule on that though.

Trust us, we got Game 6* flashbacks with that one *Game 6 last year, Skinner’s stick was broken, causing him to whiff on a pass which resulted in a SH goal for Danault
At 8:59, u can notice smtn being thrown onto the ice, somehow hits Ceci's stick and breaks it; its actually crazy
Hyman wouldn’t be getting these kind of points if it wasn’t for McJesus. What a GOAT he is, unreal.
Marchand and mcdavid
Bro this game in particular makes you appreciate Connor McDavid sm. That mf is the scariest man alive
“Goals are worth more than assists”. - T.O. fans and sportswriters. McDavid: “Hold these 5 apples.”
Only one media personality has made that statement, Adam Wylde on SDPN. Nobody else has made that comparison other than him. So for you to lump everyone in one column shows how butt hurt Oiler fans get when someone does something better than their savior, McJesus.

I love Jack Michaels goal calls but his random babbling while the play is going on drives me nuts.
Wokenet won’t do it, they got their poster boy. singh isn’t that bad, just better options
Jack is not good. His ass kissing of Louie and randomly Jake DeBrusk doesn’t flow, and the uneasy chuckle from Louie as a result is awkward. Then you get a random early 90’s movie reference, he’s cringe.
As soon as the DEI quotas become non-existent.
I've never seen puck luck like that for the kings. 3 goals? And that Edmonton 1st line wit McD/Hy/Hen.. deadly.
How Moore only got a 2 minute minor for hitting Desharnais at knee level is beyond me. Should of been 5 minute major, that was pure intent to injure.
Yup
Boohoo crybaby
Oilers fans are ridiculous. This is the playoffs. If it was the opposite score the oils would be gooning it up.
@@jaydee8864 Yeah, it's the playoffs! Low hits at the knee should be expected.
@@Dr.Acula76 A hip check is not a penalty. Not midgets fault the guy is goliath with knees at the opposing players hips.
Anyone that says assists aren’t as important as goals hasn’t seen McDavid play. Most of these goals don’t happen without him making incredible plays.
I think the score suggests that the game was closer than it was. From Toronto, and it's so nice to see that Hyman has found the perfect spot.
And they told me MacKinnon/Kucherov were better than McDavid 😅

What an offensive line! Hyman, Dri, and McDavid. Just a dream line for any team.
The only problem is, that isn't their line
Too bad they didn’t show the sea of hats on the ice overwhelming the clean up crew. That was by far the best thing I’ve seen this year. The editor dropped the puck on that omission.

Thank you for not having fake crowd noise ruining the replays like the nhl channel
You know, Leon Draisaitl's eyes are the laser beams and once he notices the puck, it's already in the net before contact. He just swings his stick for the dramatic effect. Precision descision beforehand from coordinated and positional passers. *Edit: just thinking inregards to Connor McDavid's visual memory, he compares to the DeLorean (from 'Back To the Future'), due to his 360 degree vision; he just knows where everyone is ingeneral and even at lightspeed beforehand! McDavid's play(s), sometimes looks so casual and calm, like he's gliding along but his skillseted Minf and Body relationship is/are abruptly astonishing. As for the Oiler's diet, they may be hungry but they're not full! Good experience for the entire team and resting the vets, clearly proved the overall grit and performance, starting w/ coaching staff setting coordinated plays w/ the Mindful skillsets of All players...but the fans, fueled the Oil and their 'engine,' never seized. Well done!
The Edmonton team scored goals from both sides of the net tonight. 😆
Considering the fact that LA lost the last two series after winning game one, I'm okay with this outcome. If McDavid puts up games like this every night though, then there's no hope.
It's such a pleasure to watch Oilers in offense. I hope they go far this year so We can watch some more offensive hockey plays.
Kings got 2 goals off Oiler dmen's skates and 1 off an unlucky stick break. This game was not even close
Oilers score on themselves lol they bad
@Troll-lw9fi salty kings fan. Keep crying loser
Oils had three pp goals. Give this win to the refs.
This team is Poetry in Motion
Same strategy works everytime. McDavid passes to the net and Hyman or Draisaitl fires or taps it into goal!
3 LA goals were so fluky, and off an Oiler skate, the score didn't reflect how that game actually went.
The underlying numbers reflect a closer game when adjusted for situations. The Oilers know they have their work cut out if they want to win this series.
Try not to score on yourselves 😂
Kings have always been a team that shoots from anywhere and everywhere any chance they get, hoping for those very results.

That Ceci hand pass "own assist" was probably his best assist of the year. Right on the tape.
Obligatory 2 GA off of idiotic plays by Ceci and Nurse.
Connor McDavid and Draisaitl is a lethal combination, how can you shoot a buck to the space the size of a rice bowl in the blink of an eye?? Magic.
And just like that, the Game 1 curse has been broken!! 1-0 series lead, baby, what a game!! Oilers do have to clean up the sloppy play and mistakes, though. You have to keep your foot on the gas for the full 60 minutes no matter what the score is. But I'm sure they'll learn from it and be even better in Game 2 than they were tonight! Great win, boys, way to go!! Until Wednesday night!!
Way to go! Leading from start to finish. Great job. Great shots for a goal on a few occasions
This is going to be an insane series... The fans played a bigger part than they realized.
The fans definately influenced the refs. Some soft.calls led to pp goals. Not taking anything away from mcd but it should have been a closer game.
Nurse and Ceci can you not going forward….k thanx
LETS GO! What a game!
8:58 If you look closely, someone threw a water bottle or something on the ice, shattering ceci’s stick
Honestly the second angle looked like it just snapped but that first angle you seen was I believe the ice on the glass by the camera. Good eye though
If you look closer, what you're seeing is the tape on Moore's stick blade as he swings his stick over his head. Nice try, but it came nowhere near Ceci. His stick just snapped

Edmonton in 5. This is shaping up to be a series of "Men vs. Boys." The Kings are good? The Oilers are out of their league. Also, kudos to Zach Hyman on the hat trick.
No, this was Men vs a Kings team that had zero urgency. Definitely nowhere near their best effort. Look to see a more complete game from them in game 2.
I think the Oilers can take this series, but I wouldn't dismiss LA yet. I originally called this series for Edmonton in 5, but things can always go south unexpectedly.
Oils had 3 pp goals off some ridiculous calls.
WHAT. This and Jets - Avs series has crazy start.
Canada’s best NHL team had an easy victory but let’s not count Kings out
Same as Ovechkin, you relax a bit because you think, ahh he’s lost a step but when you retrieve the puck from your own zone and look around, there’s Ovie with the tinted visor charging hard fixing to staple you against the boards
Kings needs to play defense, body checks, stay with a player... otherwise the series will be over pretty soon...

I don't see how the Oil can get deep in the playoffs with 1 player being so dominant. A good team will shut down 97 and the Oilers will put up 1 or 2 goals which doesn't cut it. The Oilers are a one dimensional team that better teams will solve deeper in the playoffs.
Well considering McDavid didn't score any goals and they managed 7 I think they'll be alright. Lol Season started with a line of Draisaitl Nuge and Hyman. And even though the team was losing constantly. That line was all playing at over a point a game. Draisaitl has centered the second line all year and managed 106 points. Kane 24 goal Foegele 20 goals and they spent most of the season on the 3rd line.
With our depth we hope to go deep

Vegas did the right thing purposely losing to Anaheim. If they meet them in the conference finals there is a lot of tape on McDavid on how he is playing, so they will have a better answer for him. Vegas will have the best defense in the league when they likely get past Dallas. they will have the answer to crush Edmonton
