Mcdavid alone is usually top in take aways.
Do you think If we swapped defence and goaltending that the numbers would remain the same?
Flames superior defence and goaltending is the factor here….

Drai is a far better two way player than McDavid.
The numbers don’t lie for Johnny this season. If he wasn’t back checking… was coughing up quality changes… not doing the Sutter hustle… he would not be in the great +/- position.
Oilers cough up lots of quality chances and don’t forecheck as hard as the Flames. It shows.
One can no longer invoke McJesus and say it’s everyone else’s fault for team problems. The defined is their plus minus. McJesus is a great player… he needs to work on his defensive game and help out his goalie.
