Smitten by the hockey Gods? Hardly. The hockey gods are been nothing but favorable to that franchise. It is the franchise that has pissed it away. Imagine if they had not been gifted by the hockey gods in the McDavid sweepstakes. Can you imagine how horrible this team would be if they stayed in the 3rd spot and drafted Strome?
Maybe once the franchise and its fan base learn a thing or two about humility they can move forward. All winning McDavid did was validate Lowe and McTavish because the architects for tying the record for playoff futility are still there. Now, because of the McDavid gift, they think they properly built a playoff team and are being applauded being successful.
