came here to leave same comment lol. Exactly $1M more than 97’s contract just a few days later is definitely a subtle or (not so subtle?) nod to constant comparison, and competition between the two. Classic Canadian: 97 looking out for the group and classic American - Eichel looking out for himself

It certainly does feel like McDavid’s contract quickly followed by Ek and Wallman says something about how much McDavid believes these two are part of the solution…so re: Ekholm readiness & contract 97 plays a role in this too imho.

True, the full speed games could expose him, but I suspect that between the athlete, the training staff and the preseason games they could make a pretty accurate call but like you said, who really knows but them🤞🏼

I don’t think they’re giving him three years if they’ve seen him go through a training camp at a preseason and he still looks like he did in the SCF. They obviously see something they like

It can happen a third time no problem, as long as it results in a third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Final 🤷🏻‍♂️. If you’re gonna spend your time worrying, spend your summer worrying about something that matters.

lol bro YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW ACRIVE OR INACTIVE HE’S BEING. Zero. Zilch. You have no clue. And yet you’re out here posting about it 🤡. Try not projecting your anxiety onto everyone else lmao

He’s old and broken, not the answer.

Oh JFC NO. We don’t need the fakest most wannabe bad ass to be representing Canada or the Bond franchise. Drake is literally on the opposite end of the spectrum from bad ass. Mr.Degrassi Jr High is no Bond 👀

This is such trash why is it in my feed? Not ONCE in the article does he describe the alleged incident, not once! Like bro what are you hammering on about? Waste of time this piece woof.

That was a despicable sequence from Ekholm. Just hands down unacceptable.

Did Leon have anything to say about his giveaway at the offensive blue line (against an excellent rush team) that led to a breakaway and the Stars’ first goal? 🤔

Nah didn’t see a tantrum from
McDavid…but saw him force Van to waste two chances at eliminating the Oilers only to see the cream rise to the top, win the series & send the Canucks packing. *Then* the tantrums happened - it came from Canucks fans who can’t accept their team isn’t at the Oilers level🤷🏻‍♂️

Crickets hey? Looks like it’s a waggon for one. One moron who dislikes McDavid - even dumber when you read the reason lmao 🤡- seems like a bitter jealous Canucks fan

Goon it up? Are you stupid? Kane is
a top 6 forward and Klingberg is an upgrade over Brown. They’re just getting healthy. You scared?

Also, the Oilers ALWAYS lose game one.
Right where we want'em.

If you watched that game and think it’s Stuart Skinner’s fault you need to learn some more about hockey. Woof what a take

Oh yes you’re so much smarter lmao. Breaking News: some dude on BlueSky thinks he knows better than the Oilers administration. Shocking
