And his complete inability to get anything done made Edmonton lean harder into McDavid and it KILLED him.
The last 2 games of the series, McDavid was clearly on fumes.
In game 2 he absolutely buries that chance with 7 minutes left. He just didn't have the legs left to take that one stride and finish through contact. He tried to just scoop it without using his lower body and that's why it got stoned.
He was spent. He had nothing left. And had Draisaitl given them anything at all in this series, they could've used him a little more judiciously and still had something left in the tank for him in Game 7.
He played his ass off, but by the end the needle was on E.
