The Oilers’ big guns step up in the playoffs. They dominate. 5 game series and:

Draisaitl: 5G, 5A
McDavid: 1G, 11A
Hyman: 7G, 1A

Their goalie is awful though

How good does he have to be if his teammates are scoring at a 50% clip on the PP and are allowing under 20 shots against? As "bad" as Skinner supposedly was, he had a shutout and a 1 goal against game. Right now he's got a GAA of 2.59 and a save percentage of .910. Samsonov has a GAA of 3.31 and a save percentage of .883. Hellebuyck finished with a GAA of 5.23 and a save percentage of .864. Skinner isn't going to win the Vezina but he's more than adequate enough to backstop high powered scorers like McJebus, Drai, Hyman and Bouchard. This ain't the mid 90's anymore where your goalie wins the Cup for you.

And now Dubois starts praying there’s a 7-game series in each round.

But man, did Tortorella ever have this guy’s number. Biggest tissue-soft loser in the league.

He was pretty clear that he chose LA because it’s a big city with great food and lots of style
 
Yep, not buying it. I don't think Dubois ever cared that much. He had spurts where he'd get interested enough to put out an effort once in a while, especially when he was looking to get a contract, but otherwise he's just happy to go through the motions while counting his money.
