The extreme said his team seemed disconnected Monday night, especially from his own end to the neutral area.
“We do not play very well, that is evident. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We can definitely be much better,” he said.
Oilers players said they are looking towards Thursday’s game and focusing on getting a road division before returning to Edmonton for game 5.
“Obviously it was not the best, not the best,” said McDavid. “I don’t think our best thing is that it has appeared in all series, but it approaches.”
