Should fans be concerned that the elite young talent on Edmonton's roster, most of which came from winning environments ' Taylor Hall won back to back Memorial Cups, Eberle was a hero for Team Canada, Sam Gagner went 50-14-4 in his final year with the London Knights ' are being ruined by the culture of failure in Edmonton? "We've definitely addressed that in the lockerroom," said Eberle, admitting the last few years have been a shock to their system. "It's something that at the start of the year, and throughout the year, we've talked about. You can't have an 'it's acceptable to lose' mentality. But I don't think anyone in there really has it. As professional athletes, most of us in there are really competitive people. We want to win. I don't think that's really creeping into the room. And I know, as a leader of the team, it never will, we'll never let it. That's when things go south. I can't see it happening, we're just too competitive in here, we want to win."
