Well, I won't argue that they weren't out-played, but that was some of the worst coverage that I have ever seen on McDavid, Draisaitl, Kane and Hyman. They played river-hockey, even in the first game, and constantly looked like they were rattled. I didn't think that the top line played badly - I think the entire team played badly, sans Backlund.
