Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl played with the Kings' food
The Edmonton Oilers have a lot of talent that goes beyond their two stars but Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are two of the best in the business.
They went full Conn Smythe Trophy mode in this series against the Kings. McDavid had 12 points in the five games and Draisaitl had 10. They are the two leading scorers in the playoffs. It is absurd what they are able to do.
It isn't the Kings fault that the Oilers have these two studs. It is their fault that they were able to be as productive as they were. It seemed to be a tad bit too easy for these two to dominate.
Having elite players like that is they key to Edmonton's success but it was also a huge contributor to the Kings' failure.
