COULD TANEV PROVE TO BE McDAVID'S WORST NIGHTMARE? 

Which team wins this series, advancing to the Stanley Cup Final? Let us know YOUR thoughts 👇

Draisaitl had 17 points in 5 games (an NHL record) against Tanev.

Tanev played in Calgary and Mcdavid and the oilers destroyed the Flames.

Did everyone forget the rd 2 flames oilers series? It sent both tkachuk and gaudreau packing. Wasnt tanev there then too and wtf did he not do then that he will this series.

McDavid was held without a point in 3 of the 7 games against the Canucks. Oilers still found a way to win the series. This Oilers team is a lot deeper than the ones in years past. If Nuge, Kane, Holloway all find ways to keep scoring the oilers will be fine. Not to mention if the 3rd line finds positive ways to contribute. The oilers are a very good team.

as an oilers fan, the best threat that the stars has is Heiskenen, his skating and defense is insane

Dallas are the favorites, let's not delude ourselves. The Oilers struggled vs Vancouver, they will have to bring their best post season game yet. Go Oilers Go.

Gino is right. Oilers ARE the favorite. Good luck Dallas, the stars will fall in 7.

Oettinger hasn't faced the top 4 playoff scorers because he shut down 2 of them in the previous round. What an asinine take.

Tanev hardly comes to mind as an Oilers fan, but Heiskanen keeps me up at night...

No, Mc David is Tanev’s worst nightmare. Mc David is the hybrid of those players he faced.

Or is it going to be Tanev's worst nightmare trying to keep McDavid at bay.

Great conversation!👌 Mainly because both of those guys are passionate and knowledgeable about hockey and also because they are calm and respectful.

Right he was such a nightmare in 22 with Calgary

Lol McDavid has destroyed Tavev for years when he was on the flames i doubt it'll be any different.

I hope Gino's right! Go Oilers!

Tanev has played against Oilers before..he was in Calgary right? McDavid was just fine against him.

These thumbnails are getting insane lmaoooo

McDavid and Draisaitl skated circles around Tanev in the Playoffs with the Flames. What's all this jibberish BS about Tanev being some kind of defensive monster against Batman and Robin? Lol The Oilers are a better Playoff team than Dallas. Bigger stars, better point generators. Go Oilers!

People are underestimating what mcdavid can do. He’s going to bring an entire new level nobody has ever seen before this series.

Scary series. I think it’s a Cold Pick ‘em

Huh... its like ppl forget tan3v was a flame

Don’t talk about Davo’s and Drat’s contacts plz! Theres no time for that but how GREAT theyre playing

remember that tanev played for the flames. for the past four years the oilers have owned the flames. tanev had zero affect on that. oilers in six

Go Oilers!! 🇨🇦 🏒👻

Tanev has never been anyone's worst nightmare lol Well maybe the teams he played for

mcD blew him out of the water in calgary.

Yeah because he was do devastating while in calgary. Tanev cant stop McHyman or McDrai, oilers do it best when theyre hitting!

If you think Katz will pull a Pocklington, youre mad.

Yes

I HOPE gino is right, but I dunno.... i think as an Oiler fan we are huge under dogs.

Dallas's defence shut down Eichel, Mac, Rantanen, Makar. You gotta think that McD, Drai, and Bouchard are at least going to be suppressed. Yeah the Oilers have a ton of points leaders, but look at the teams they've played. It will be interesting and there are several conditional things, but calling EDM the favorite is a bit optimistic considering what DAL has done with the teams with superstars they've met.

The same way he was when the Oilers won in 5 against the Flames?

Aint no one fucking with mcdavid man is just the perfect player

Heiskanen is going to absolutely lock McDavid up

Bro, what is that thumbnail!? 😭

this didn't age well, Hyman & McDavid torched Tanev in Game 1

Canucks homers would have claimed the bucks are a better team Farhan Lalji / John Garrett I’m looking at you.

gino is such a homer lol. DAL's defence shut down eichel, mack, rantanen, makar. it's reasonable to say, mcJ, drai, and bouchard are at least going to be contained. the oilers were gifted the weakest team (LAK) in the playoffs in the first round and in the second VAN played with their 3rd string goalie and missed a star forward in game 7. VAN taking EDM to 7 should be a serious cause for concern in edmonton. DAL delivers a rock bottom and a people's elbow to finish off EDM in game 6. ☠

Look i get TSN is salty they can't put out endless Leafs vids right now, but they don't have to try so hard to invent anit-oilers narratives out of thin air.

Geno your crazy bud

OILERS taking game 1!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Not a chance. Davo is the best in the NHL. Tanev will be the one having nightmares.

Mcdavid is not Jack Eichel who are you kidding 😂.

Fuck he couldn't do anything 3 years ago when he was on calgary

Taney is amazing

Oilers beat Tanev before in the playoffs..

Lmao yeah, ok, just like 2 years ago against Calgary? Tsn is trying to create so many false narratives it's just a joke at this point.

Nope..Edmonton in 5 or 6.

I'm with ya Ryan, I have a feeling the Stars are going to underestimate Holloway and he's going to light it up...

Nope quite the opposite!!

Nope.

Nope

Omg this guy is a clown... Oilers already up 1-0

Waste of McDavid prime dallas are to good of a team McDavid will leave Edmonton and win the cup somewhere else im sooooo sorry 😞

Ha ha ha! No! Oilers will stomp the Stars into paste.

what an awful take

Plus edmontons goalie sucks and i bet we see pickard end the series

Tanev a bigger challenge than JT Miller? Hmm... i dont think so. Tanev a bigger challenge than Daneault and Kopitar??? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

The Oilers are going to learn that real drilling happens in Texas
