Every flight, you know how it is.

Oh, yes, that's right, the bigwigs.

All right, let's get your post-mortem assessment on the season that was for the Edmonton Oilers.

Yeah, it's interesting, right?

Because you look at it, Conor McDavid won the Art Ross.

Evan Bouchard led all defensemen in scoring.

Leon Drysaddle had another great season, you know, 97 points in what he played 65 games this year.

Well, let's be honest.

He would have had 115 to 120-point season is what he would have had.

Yes.

So their top end was really good.

They can never consistently kill penalties all season long, and their team defense wasn't good enough, and they didn't get enough saves.

I don't know.

Like, if they were to return –

Ekholm and Bouchard, Nurse and Murphy, Wallman and Emerson, I think that'd be a pretty good defense.

But this was also a defense at the start of the year that was ranked by some to be the best defense.

And it wasn't me.

It was the athletic that ranked them, like, amongst the top.

And that's with Gulak in, basically, instead of Murphy.

And Murphy is a right shot and Gulak a lefty.
