No question, McDavid and Draisaitl are very dangerous opponents, tough to defend. Edmonton just does not have enough balance in their lineup beyond those two.
I know he is still young, but Broberg could have really helped that D from their collapse. Dallas forwards just swarmed and overwhelmed them.
Does anyone know if there is any video of what Benn may have said in the locker room after the 2nd period to positively inspire his teammates?
Close. Gretzky visited Benn after the game.

I suspect that there is a Gretzky curse hanging over Edmonton.
