The Oilers tie their win total from last playoffs in games where McDavid does not record a point (1)
It was also a big issue this regular season so huge for them to win anyway

Over the last year, Ben Shelton has both a higher win rate against 11+ ranked players (76.9% to 75.0%) and a lower win rate against top 10 players (25.0% vs. 33.3%) than Alex De Minaur. Is his "high ceiling/low floor" reputation entirely just due to the aesthetics of his playstyle?
There seems to be both this anticipation for every time he plays a big matchup (for example vs. Sinner) and this expectation that he's a random player who can lose to anyone
But in both a positive and negative way neither of these things are really backed up by stats

Will he manage to return to his Conn Smythe form to take this series?

Kucherov's usage compared to McDavid/MacKinnon is certainly interesting

Since Wimbledon 2024, Iga Swiatek is 34-15 (69.4%) vs. players with a negative career "Rally Aggression" Tennis Abstract score compared to an excellent 60-14 (81.1%) vs. players with a positive score. From 2022-RG 2024, she dominated the more defensive group with a win rate over 90%.
Digging deeper into her match history shows that her results against bashers and on faster courts have been mostly the same over time but it's actually her formerly most dominant areas (against counterpunchers and on slow courts) that are really letting her down
At one point if you weren't a basher you could kiss your chances against Iga goodbye people used to legit look at her draw and be like "no big hitters well she's automatically in the semis"
