McDavid is clearly socially awkward and/or has some form of mild autism
I don't think it necessarily needs a medical label attached to it.

Some people just give off asshole vibes. McDavid seems that way. Eric Lindros seemed that way. Chris Pronger seemed that way. Ryan Kesler and Kevin Bieksa seemed that way. Some people are like that.


In no way do I believe Holland was involved in this decision.

Once Jackson was hired, I believe Holland became a figurehead and contract negotiator.

Nah those are completely different types. Lindros had legit asshole behaviour similar to a high school bully... but McDavid isn't an asshole, he's just awkward and you can tell he's uncomfortable around people.

Surprisingly Lindros is like the nicest guy these days, he's a good human being. That was pretty unexpected.

Frank Vatrano don't F around

Nice to see Laferniere producing

Stars are so lucky to have an easy division this year, Arizona is probably the only other legit playoff contender worth a dang that they will face.
Arizona has thw best coach in the league. Playoff bound

Not happening, but I am starting to think the yoyo line juggling with so many new players is having an effect on how long it takes this team to get their shit together.

Tried Drouin, Mack and Nuke, then goes back to Mikko & Mack after a few shifts, and puts Tartar and Drouin with Ryjo..

It's a f***in comedy show right now. Apparently if there isn't a magic combination there can be no consistency.
Yeah thats been really frustrating. That was not the first time this year that the team came out playing hard/getting chances and then the lines get juggled and then there's a very noticeable drop in play.

Evason is the anti-Bednar. While Bednar is chill to the point that last night’s display of anger was downright rattling to me, Evason appears to be in a perpetual state of rage. I don’t think his eyelids and the irises of his eyes ever overlap, even when he blinks.
Someone had a picture of him side by side with a bird...the similarity was pretty uncanny.
