Prospect Info: Connor McDavid: McNicknames?

[Tyjo]

"McDavid faces enormous pressure in Edmonton, a city desperate for a symbol of hope"............

This is my point........"enormous pressure in Edmonton, a city desperate"?

I am saying ... "Would he not face same pressure in TO" same as in Edmonton and TO has not won in over 45 years?


PS.........I have read the article and you are right it's not a knock on Edmonton. All I am saying is McDavid would have the same pressure in any other Canadian city, not just Edmonton.

He would but he's not going to to those cities so why write it in the article?

Everything points to a sudden Game of Thrones-esqe twist on draft day.

Oilers are about to kick things off. Rains of Castamere starts playing...

Continuing the GoT references...Since Edmonton is the northernmost city in the NHL, McDavid shall be granted the title of:

THE KING IN THE NORTH

I can't either. I actually had to go back and re-read the draft thread reactions to relive it.

I'm assuming Connor will be in Florida early to partake in the top prospect activities. Anyone have a date for when that will start?

 

[McRpro]

I can't either. I actually had to go back and re-read the draft thread reactions to relive it.

I did that on the weekend. Read a few others teams lottery threads too. Very entertaining

He sounded so excited talking about McDavid. Guess they aren't taking Eichel.

1 reporter doesn't speak for all of Toronto. Settle down.

 

[Giggleplex]

Can't wait to see McDavid do some McMagic.

No, but the overall reaction coming from this board, a majority of news outlets, posts on separate forums, sport blogs and major websites, etc. give us a pretty good feeling of how Toronto could help but cry and whine after the draft lottery with a residual effect still trickling out one and a while.

I think the majority of people have moved on some 2 months later. The focus is on Marner/Strome/Hanifin etc. and figuring out whats going on with Kessel Phaneuf.

Just finished watching a days worth of Bure highlights and man does McDavid remind me of him on the rush. Similar speed and hands

The difference is Mcdavid has the IQ of a Crosby or Gretzky
