Meh, I'm over it now. Like I said in the OOT the 10 years of futility was something special, so as it turns out Pierre McGuire was right in the end.
It took them 10 years to figure out to win in the NHL you have to play a 200 foot game and you can see the players now committing to it. They are no longer taking shots from anywhere just to improve their advanced stats or pad their stats.
The horseshoe that brought them McDavid was also a lottery that changed the entire inept hockey operation. It can not be said enough how those 4 ping pong balls changed the entire direction of that franchise. Had they not won that lottery McTavish would probably still be GM and we are probably talking several more years of monumental debacles.
Bring on the battle of Alberta.
