I tried watching some of the prime series and it sucked. It was just drive to survive but crappy. Horrible editing, over the top narration and idiotic quotes from the media personalities, awkward borderline staged scenes.
It worked 4 years ago for DTS because it was so unexpected and a few of the F1 teams really let loose with their candor.
The Twitter clips of the uncensored actual behind the scenes stuff basically captured all the best parts.
Yeah just saw that video. That’s a little too much for my taste. On one level, I guess it makes me appreciate how much it means to these guys. And to be fair to McDavid he left it all on the ice and I do respect that.
But guess I’m old school but handling adversity with composure and grace is still something I admire.
And Leon’s love tap.
What a weird team that is.
In the end, for me, it's still really surprising the Oilers allowed that edit to make it to air for public consumption. They didn't have to, but chose to.
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.

It's the age we live in. Access sells. The Oilers are a cash cow, all the more impressive given the ####ty market they operate in.
They are Teflon it seems.
Oilers finish the preseason with a 3-5-0 record and the worst goals against in the league. I assume this means they'll be cancelling the preseason champs banner raising ceremony?

No. Refs were against them the whole time. They dug in and there were only 3 games that mattered and they won them all. 3-0.
The other 5 were just practices for the other team.

Only one of the wins was in regulation and they allowed 6 goals in 4 of their 5 losses (and 4 in the other one).

I mean...you could raise a banner for that...if you want. It'd be brave though.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
my daughter (an 11 year old little pipsqueak) had a soccer game this morning and got a lift to the game with a friend/teammate. she found out on the drive that her friend's dad is a huge oilers fan so she was quick to tell him how we cheered for the kings, canucks (puke!), stars and of course those beautiful panthers.
he threatened to stop the car and make her walk!
ha! ha!
i love my kids!

The Oilers organization loves publicity of any kind. That organization sniffs its own farts for a pastime.
