C Connor McDavid (2015, 1st, EDM) VII

[McMatthews]

Sucks that you guys start the process when they alter the odds for the lottery further, but at least there shouldn't be much competition outside of Arizona. In a perfect world, they get Matthews, you guys get Chycrun. Maybe worry about the Sweeney factor, but he'd just go off the board anyway.

In the perfect world, we get Auston Matthews.

Screw Arizona/Las Vegas.

Still a joke that he went to the Oilers. NHL should be embarrassed.

well... why?? I don't get this.

Edmonton tanked and won it fair and square, I don't think it's fair but it is what it is.

I'm kinda glad he's in Canada.

 

[Frank Drebin]

No one in Toronto gives a damn about McDavid. I dont know why you guys keep mentioning that.

3 post later by a Leafs fan....

Still a joke that he went to the Oilers. NHL should be embarrassed.

Well, almost no one in Toronto gives a damn about McDavid....

 

[MilanKraft*]

Not many players in this league can move like that right now. Much less an 18 year old.

So how many goals?

50? 60? 70? 80? 90? 100?

 

[McChucky]

I had to watch the guys in the background to make sure it wasn't sped up a bit....wow....

That clip has me so excited for Sabres camp next week.

The first matchup is gonna be sweeeeeet.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Soak it in, buddy.
Soak it in.

God, does he look good in those colours or what?

enjoy him for now everyone knows he will be joining stamkos, and taveres in Toronto. You only have another 7 years with him before he leaves.

I'm happy you're able to make fun of it. It's super funny to me that people actually believe this though.

lol.

Anyway, I honestly see a 600+ goal scorer in him. And 1300+ points.

 

[KingTux]

He really looks to handle the pressure well. Good for him

 

[cheeeko]

The chapter on Connor and "exceptional" players in Bobby Mac's book is fantastic. The story of Connor growing up with the talent he has, dealing with jealousy and praise, envy and love.

He's had a long road here, as all kids do. He truly seems like a good young man, who just wants to win.

He's dealt with pressure his whole life.

He says he hates nothing more than people who think they are better than others. He's a great role model.

Everybody should check out that chapter.

Good luck to Connor and the Oilers! He's going to be one of the greats.

Stream of practice today, Connor will be on for 30 more mins

FYI, Monday is EDM's 4v4 scrimmage:

On the final day of Orientation Camp, the prospects will face off in the Billy Moores Cup, an annual four-on-four intrasquad game, which will take place on Monday, July 6th at 6:30 p.m. at Rexall Place. Admission is free, however fans are encouraged to donate onsite to the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation in support of the Edmonton Police Service and the D. Woodall Family Fund.

Me too I was calling BS at first then I watched the players in the background.

He is THAT quick.

He's going to be creating headaches for years for opposing defenseman.

 

[Virtanens Abust]

Good luck to Connor McDavid, seems like a great kid. I will root for him, but I won't root for the Oilers, should be pretty fun.

 

[McChucky]

He used his speed today in a few drills. No contest. Nobody could keep with him. He was walking dmen in his sleep. Its almost sureal to see.

The other guys on the ice are near NHL prospects? Or are they far off? Because Connor looked light years ahead of everyone else in the skating department. Like he could be the skating coach and they could be his students.

How fast is he? Kreider is the fastest and Ovie has the best acceleration. Is McDavid close to either?

So Excited he is in Edmonton, I can get to see him a lot more than I would if he went to Buffalo.

They altered the odds to prevent a team like Edmonton who has gotten 3 first overalls in a row. And what happens?

Rip Buffalo and Arizona.
The look on Bettman's face says it all.

No, they altered the odds to improve the chance of a non-playoff bubble team winning. This wasn't about Edmonton. It was the greed of the collective GM's hoping their team could get a better chance at the 1st overall pick.

McDavid being McDavid.
