A glaring difference between the two Western Conference finals teams is that Edmonton has superstar Connor McDavid on its side, and the postgame quotes reflected just that. McDavid scored a pair of goals to help lift the Oilers to the win.

“I mean, he was fantastic. The way that he plays in all 3 ends of the ice has been very impressive for the whole playoffs.”

“Most of the time it’s about when you score, not how many. It was a big moment...they were pushing and to put one in right before the 3rd is big time for us.”
