Regardless, yes, that was lazy defense. Seems like purely a team of 1-way players.

Nope on that 4th goal, Draisaitl dropped his man in the corner to rush to poke the puck for glory, and miffed it, then as the Canuck was moving in on the goal with no one within 10 feet of him, Draisaitl pivoted in the neutral zone and softly drifted, maybe hoping that Koskikojo would make a save and he could be hit for a trophy winning break away.
He dropped his coverage for a shot at a goal and failed.
You know what the greater thing is going to be this year. When the Oilers learn that people aren't lining up to sign with the Oilers to serve the glorious feet of McDavid and Draisaitl when RNH tells them to get stuffed during contract negotiations, and they trade him for pennies on the dollar.
