I don’t really feel sorry for him tbh. One team has to win and one team has to lose. I’m sure it would have been even more heartbreaking for the Panthers to lose on their second straight trip to the finals and after being up 3 games to none.

It absolutely worked because that is what I said, and it’s 100% stone cold fact. You simply forgot or didn’t know Jordan didn’t win until he was 28 and you looked dumb as hell with your comment. Your mental gymnastics desperately trying to save face don’t change that.

Who would possibly be inspired by this embarrassing attempt at a pep talk?
Especially considering the player delivering it never gives 110%.

Leaf fans have no business commenting negatively in this thread with our ex Captain and his personality of stone. Love to see the thunder in the Oilers Captain, any Captain for that matter.
I don't feel sorry for him, but I do believe he deserves to win one at some point. Someone with that much talent shouldn't have to have their storied career marred by that asterisk. I'm not even an Edmonton fan in any way. Some people just wanna hate for the sake of hating.

That's what it sounded like to me as well. It felt like temper tantrum that everyone in the locker room has heard too many times and just tune it out.
Crosby has been underpaid for 3 seasons of his career. 22-23, 23-24, 24-25. The first 9 years of his contract had an artificially low cap hit because of these three backdiving years.
Still gave up at least 20 m in salary those three years and you cant take that away from him.
Meh doesnt seem like he really has the rooms attention. Drop some F bombs to sound angry isnt enough.
And im sure he lost his voice, but again, doesnt "sound" like someone you take seriously or who speaks up often.

I think most of us know there is a difference between a frustration laden post loss rant and an inspirational pre game prep talk.
Feels like some are confusing the two.

Well he knows he needs that cup for his legacy and there is a finite amount of time to realistically make it happen.

He's such a f***ing dork, honestly just sounds like a tantrum instead of anything resembling leadership.
The one time something like this pops up and its "cringey af" I bet stuff like happens all the time, to even back in the day. I bet guys like Mess raised shit like that too.oof that's cringey as hellthere's a big difference between a screeching temper tantrum and leadership.

The guy had 42 playoff points this past spring. He couldn't do it all. I like this video. Maybe there are things we don't always need to see, for example I know the trainers were trying to block the camera. Some things are sacred, like what happens in a locker room. So I get it. But either way, how can you criticize the Conn Smythe winner for yelling at his teammates? Messier did stuff like this and we thought he was heroic. McDavid is going to get his Cup, possibly in a few months. So this will age well.

i doubt messier ever sounded like a a 14 year old who just got grounded. less is usually more impactful, stevens being a great example of that. but i don’t blame mcdavid, what leaders did he have a chance to learn from?

The ones poking fun at McDavid for not being the best speaker and getting upset are the same who arent man or woman enough to do it in the first place
Sorry not every sports leader sounds like theyre in a movie and perfects public speaking
Whats wrong, never loved or been good enough at something to be upset? Youre a perfect example for my above post

You need this from your best and top guys, as a Canucks fan we see the same thing from JT Miller, I’m sure through out the league you would see the same from all teams. This is leadership.
