It's tough to see the Edmonton Oilers only having Connor McDavid represent them on Team Canada for the 4 Nations Face-Off. I mean, this is a team that has had such a rich history of talent and success, especially during the glory days of the 80s. The fact that only one player made the cut really highlights the struggles they've faced this season.
Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard were expected to be key contributors, and it's disappointing to see Hyman's slump and Bouchard's defensive lapses come into play. They had the potential to shine on that international stage, but it seems like the pressure got to them.
Stuart Skinner's exclusion is also surprising, especially given the current landscape of Canadian goaltending. It feels like the Oilers need to rally together and use this as motivation to turn their season around. They have the talent, but they need to find that consistency.
As a fan, I really hope this serves as a wake-up call for the team. They have the ability to bounce back and prove that they belong among the elite in the league. Let's see if they can channel this disappointment into a strong second half of the season!
