The Wraparound: Connor McDavid looks unstoppable right now

Even though they have had two of the best offensive players in the league for the past seven years, the Edmonton Oilers have mostly been a punch line for the Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl era.

They have had little regular season success, almost no postseason success, and have mostly wasted some of the prime years of two franchise players with a flawed roster that has been short on depth, defense, and goaltending. Some of that is changing. The Oilers have been significantly better since the mid-season coaching change that brought in Jay Woodcroft behind the bench, while veteran goalie Mike Smith has played some of the best hockey of his season after a dreadful start.

It not only got Edmonton into the playoffs with home-ice advantage in the First Round, it finds itself entering play on Thursday night with a commanding 3-1 lead on the Calgary Flames in the Second Round with a chance to move onto the the Western Conference Final for the first time since the 2005-06 season.

The biggest reason they are in this position? McDavid is absolutely putting the team on his back and carrying it with a postseason performance for the ages.

The numbers right now are absolutely staggering.

Ahead of Game 5, he already has 25 points in the Oilers’ first 11 postseason games, while also having recorded at least two points in 10 of those games.

There have been several postseasons over the past decade where the leading scorer for the entire playoffs did not record 25 points all postseason. McDavid has already hit that mark in 11 games. Not only does he have great individual numbers, he just looks like a player that is on a mission right now. Every single time he is on the ice it feels like he is going to do something spectacular with nobody
