I haven't watched a lot of the post-games this year, but I think the messaging from Tippett is really good here.

Basically, says there aren't weak teams, so he's not more upset about this than any other loss. He's generally happy with the team, and not throwing them under the bus after a bad game.
It will be interesting to see how he approaches things when we have a tough spell, but I like that he refused several invitations from the media guys to dig in to why they lost or to really criticize the team and players. Closest he comes is just agreeing with Draisaitl's own assessment that he wasn't great - and even there he offers a qualifier saying they weren't great off the start.
It's quite a contrast from watching McLellan try to dissect every goal against and who was at fault, while expressing his disappointment in his wayward children.
