Former NHL general manager Doug MacLean has criticized the Edmonton Oilers' supporting cast for not providing enough support to Connor McDavid during the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.On “Sportsnet 590 The Fan” on Friday, MacLean singled out forwards Jeff Skinner, Kasperi Kapanen and Viktor Arvidsson, pointing out that they needed to support their star players in order to succeed.“It's hard on star players at playoff time to get over the hump. It really is. And you need a supporting cast. And that's the message he was sending, whether he said it or not. And I'll tell you what—if Skinner, Kapanen, and Arvidsson are your supporting cast, you ain't winning the Cup.”MacLean then used past examples from his coaching days to explain that star players can be shut down if the rest of the team doesn’t step up.“I am not saying that McDavid is my favorite player in the NHL,” he said. "I absolutely love watching him play. But you need a supporting cast, because the Florida Panthers can shut you down. They can shut you down.“And you know what? It's easier when you're defending a star player. It really is easier. I remember coaching against Jagr and Lemieux and Lindros and those guys, and Brian Skrudland was shutting them down—combined with a couple of defensemen who were very good shutdown guys.”Skinner had one goal and one assist in five games in the playoffs. He was a +/- -1. He had no impact in the six games against the Panthers in the Final, going pointless.Kapanen had 6 points (3G, 3A) in 12 playoff games, with all three assists coming in the Final. Arvidsson had 7 points (2G, 5A) in 15 playoff games.
