I'll take that "embarrassment" over a 4-game sweep to a banged up Ducks squad missing Fowler, Vatanen and Bieksa any day



so I guess McDavid, Draisaitl, Strome, Caggulia, Larsson, Klefbom, Benning and Nurse won't get better as they gain experience, especially going to the 2nd round of the playoffs?
they've all peaked now?
I think the Oilers are banking on the continued development of the young core that went pretty deep into the playoffs
Look, the refs didn't screw the Oilers, progress isn't linear, and the Only thing that there is to be embarrassed about is your overconfidence.
