Think of all of that work in training camp...for this.
Toews and Kane sent them all home without even breaking a sweat.

Toews and Kieth especially couldn't believe their luck when they were included in this tournament. The old guard there missed the playoffs the last 3 years and haven't had a sniff in 5 years.
Toews, Kane, Saad, Kieth and Crawford all are playing like they are 25 again just by virtue of what one of the broadcasters called a "mulligan".
The Oilers gapping holes in the roster aside did anyone else see McDavid and RNH in their closing interview? Someone else noted McDavid was wearing nothing with any Oilers colors or logos. He mumbled answers and looked off to his right constantly between every question. RNH was better at his answers and just wore it better.
Biggest mistake that Mgt has made, in long chain of blunders, is making that kid Captain. He sucks as a Captain and I think the rest of them know it. Even if RNH was a bad choice hes still 10x better a choice for their Captain than McDavid. Just a dumb and arrogant move really. McDavid needed to be led not lead and he still does.
