I mean, he faced probably the two most fearsome guys possible in the first night of his NHL career after 8 days off while the Oilers are property warmed up. And McDavid looks like he's found yet another level, so...
Looked like a kid in his first NHL game is all.
He might very well go back, but I'm not going to dumpster him over one night vs. McDavid, there's gonna be a lot of people have it worse vs. him this year. He's never seen anything like that before. Give him a few more games to settle in before jumping to the 'well, is he really ready?' conclusion, given how much he's killed it up until this point.
Edit: McLellan making an important point about it as well:
"McLellan, on Tobias Bjornfot:
I think he was fine. You could see him make a lot of plays. His rounds are on the major league, and when 97’s coming at you that fast, you don’t get to practice that at all anywhere in Sweden, anywhere in junior, or anywhere in training camp. That’s just the way it is, so he’ll be better for it next time. He wasn’t the only one that had trouble handling his speed. We had some veteran players out there that had trouble with him, and after me there’s going to be 30 other coaches that come in and answer the question in the same way I just did."
IE there's nowhere else he's going to get conditioned to situations like last night except to be in situations like last night.
