Let's be honest.
Bednar would absolutely hate Wilson when he goes out of his way to take somebody's f***ing head off and gets his usual suspension(s).

Yep, that's why I think he'd be a perfect Bednar player...except for his tendency to actually be a psychopath. If he were just a big guy, that used his size, speed and defensive acumen he'd be one of Bednar's favourites. It would be fun having Wilson though. We'd have two wingers that play hockey the way Bednar likes, one has off ice hookers and blow issues, the other wants to end the lives of his colleagues.

Honestly, I've never really cared what Oilers fans think of anything.
Granted, living in Alaska might make that easier than living in Alberta but still... Illegitmati non carborundum.
That defense should absolutely strike fear into the very heart of... oh wait, now I know why Wedgewood really went down in practice. He wanted no part of this shit.
Let's be honest. Everytime a player shows any inclination towards physicality Bednar sees himself in that player and since he never made it to the NHL, the player in question shouldn't have either. He absolutely loathes anyone who might so much as wrinkle another players' jersey.
I remember Lappy talking mad shit about eating onions and garlic before games so that when he was leaning on people in the corners and in scrums it would be as uncomfortable as possible for them. I love Ian, but he would never have survived as long as he did here if Bednar was coach.
lmao love Lappy thanks for sharin that story

Nate's always modest, but he's also no bullshit. He just tells it as it is.
As good as Nate is, McDavid is the best in the world. It's just obvious like Nate said.

anxiously waiting to see how the Edmonton fans (who say Nate's so selfish) will spin this one....

It's wise to notice that Nate never said McDavid was better than him. It's one thing to be considered the best/most skilled player in the league. It's a completely different thing to be a god-damned champion.
Nate may appear humble here, but make no mistake... he knows his engine is the most finely tuned in the league.

One thing's for sure, Nate loves to compete against someone like McDavid, and show that he might be better than them. At least on that day or that series.

Just going to say this one time. Nate is a Stanley Cup Champion and McDavid is not.

Sid: "Nate, you do not yet realize your importance. You've only begun to discover your power. Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength we can win more Stanley Cups and bring order to Cole Harbour."
Nate: "I'll never leave the Avs!"
Sid: "If you only knew the power of Mike Sullivan. The Avs never told you who was better, you or McDavid."
Nate: "They told me enough. They told me we were both just as good."
Sid: "No, I am your father. Connor is better than you."
Nate: "No...that's not true. That's impossible!"
Sid: "Search your feelings, you know it to be true."
Nate: "Noooooooooooooo!!!"

Landy is Lando to come to the rescue afterwards right? He's also Han Solo. Just because.

Always thought Mikko would be Han Solo but it turns out he's too much a mercenary to come in at the last moment to save the day.
The closest we've got to Solo on this team is JD. Boy could have cashed out and left us high and dry but took another one year deal to stick around 'cause he's in love with our princess.

For this game we anticipate the match up of Canada's firepower of Mackinnon, McDavid and Makar against USAs big dogs of the Tkachuk brothers and Eichel. Seems easy to forget about Matthews
.. Matthews doesn't have that dog in him
