In an interview after practice today, McDavid shut down any more questions about the Cup Final loss, and made it clear that the Oilers are turning the page.
The paint of last season's Cup Final loss has been heavily revisited by the recent Amazon Documentary which followed the Oilers behind the scenes. McDavid was seen sobbing in the locker room and many more emotional events were captured. It was an extremely tough time for the Edmonton Oilers, and it's the right mentality for their leader to want to turn the page. They've given enough media attention to last year, now they need to focus on the task at hand.
While McDavid downplayed the lessons learned in a tough loss, they're undoubtedly going to draw on last season as motivation. After being just one win away from the Stanley Cup, the Edmonton Oilers will be more motivated than ever to get back to hockey in June, and finish the job.
