It's pretty raw emotion, and turn on video cameras in Stanley Cup losing or playoff losing dressing rooms over the years around the league and pulling back that curtain and seeing how different players handled that would definitely open some eyes and change some perceptions of players mostly negatively.
What's the positive to come out of showing that? To humanize and show the extent of personal devastation for players? Ok, sure they lost the Stanley Cup and many players around the league have had crushing losses, so in that sense they've been there, but what does showing that devastation really accomplish for the general public, that an organization would want to have that all out there?

I don't know what would be positive for the oilers to show their players post-game, but I really enjoyed seeing McDiver and Leon crying. So it was incredibly positive for me.
