Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl lead the Edmonton Oilers to another deep Playoff run

As Canadian teams have yet to shine further in the postseason, the Oilers of Edmonton remain a team forged in strength, hope, and depth. While franchises such as Toronto and Winnipeg seem to crumble under pressure, Edmonton chooses to rise in the toughest moments. Again, the playoff journey has shown how the team can adjust and improve. With names like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on board, and a team full of committed players, the Oilers are proving themselves not just as contenders but, indeed, playoff experts.These Oilers have made a name for coming through in the clutch. With three Western Conference Finals appearances in four years, they have fashioned a postseason identity that resounds with success through pressure. Since 2012, they are 8-1 in closeout games, and their record in games 4 through 7, when shaky nerves tend to peak, stands at an incredible 20-4.But it’s not just the marquee names that deliver. Edmonton's depth has become a great weapon. Thirteen different forwards have already tallied goals in this postseason, and seven have come through with game-winning goals. That great versatility was shown wonderfully in the second round win over the Vegas Golden Knights, with Adam Henrique, Evander Kane, and Kasperi Kapanen stepping up to provide important scoring carries in two crucial shutout wins.What’s jaw-dropping is that the Oilers find ways to win in multiple ways: in a huge offensive blowout scenario or a tight defensive showdown, maybe even in clutch overtime. Give them a 7-4 barnburner or a 1-0 nail-biter, and they adjust and execute accordingly. Edmonton beat Vegas in their last two games, with McDavid and Draisaitl tallying only two assists combined. No longer are the Oilers dependent on their stars.Stuart Skinner has shut up the critics with many shutouts in clutch moments, while crucial Mattias Ekholm will shore things up when he returns next round. That bodes well for their system, as Nurse calls them deep, confident, and not afraid of adversity, saying this very well may be the most complete Oilers team I've been on.Also Read: Connor McDavid suffered from a lower-body injury, and Leon Draisaitl suffered from an undisclosed injuryWhile other Canadian teams have fizzled away under playoff pressure, the Edmonton Oilers are growing into a team made for championship moments.
