Nothing to indicate such a favourable generalization from this series.  Blowing a 2-0 series lead, and a 3-0 lead in the last 4 mins of game 5, those things indicate a bright future?

Yeah, I guess if you just completely ignore them.

And McDavid was pretty much a no-show in this series, right?  And was more invisible as the series moved along, right?

Bright future?
