I think they might have still been hungover from a 3 day bender...
I didn't expect them to be sharp after a long layoff like that, but I didn't expect them to be that dull either, that was a pretty brutal showing. The D corp was just bad, and the top 6 was out of sync and forcing it, even McDavid looked pretty mortal after the first 5 mins.
That's the worst game I've seen Draisaitl play in a long time. Obviously Woodcroft agreed with me as he was steadily demoted throughout the game. He shouldn't have been out there in OT at that point IMHO. I don't know if he's hurt or what, but he better get his head in it.
Oh well, bank the point and take out the frustration on CHI Saturday night...
