That really got my attention as well. Brad is looking for players who take it personal and want to win. Tkachuk was all talk (imo) and Johnny just didn’t care as much in the playoffs as he did in the regular season. Or at the very least, didn’t want it as bad as the oilers did. And that really bothers me. Way more than it ever should, but it does.
