Jacob, what are you looking at
0:01
What players are you looking at for Edmonton? This series that needs to either continue their dominance
0:06
If you're talking about McDavid or dry side or who needs to step up, who do you who you keep an eye on
0:11
Well, I mean, the easy answer are those top two guys, but I'll hone in on a couple other ones
0:15
We'll talk Zach Hyman to start out because he's the leading goal scorer for them right now, and he's, you know, been a dominant goal scoring player
0:22
for them all year. And the fact that he's continued that in the playoffs, been a huge, huge force for them overall
0:28
I mean, his shooting percentage alone speaks for itself at 35% right now
0:33
So is that a sustainable, you know, number in general? No, not during the regular season, but during the playoffs
0:39
you know, he can hover around that 20 to 30% rate on this team. Absolutely
0:45
So continuing the goal scoring and maintaining that type of presence in front of the net, like he has been all year
0:52
is going to be something that's going to matter to them a lot, especially, you know, for, especially against the Vancouver team
1:00
that can probably box him out and try and push him out and get rid of him in front of the net
1:06
Another player that I think could get a little bit more attention
1:10
or deserves maybe a little bit more attention. He's been limited in his ice time
1:14
He's only about nine, maybe 10 minutes of ice time at night is Dylan Holloway
1:19
He's got two goals so far and he only has four shots on goal
1:23
but that's a 50% shooting percentage. So, you know, it's a small sample size
1:29
but at the same time you think about it, it's like, what if he had a little bit more opportunity
1:34
What if he was given a little bit more of a chance to provide some offense
1:38
or provide a little bit more physicality and do a little bit more out on the ice
1:42
He could be a little bit more of a factor in a series like this, especially if he's providing more scoring depth
1:48
if somebody like dry sidle, McDavid or Hyman is getting shut down
1:52
maybe a little bit more depth on the lineup can provide something
1:56
in a player like Holloway. So I think he would be somebody to watch in a series like this
2:01
and I think he could provide a lot of value
