Passion? Crying and screaming and whining when the game is over isnt passion. Passion is like when JT miller hits and fights on the ice to backup what he says in the dressing room. I saw McDavid disappear in game 7 of the finals, not giving his all, not hitting and clawing his way to get a goal. All i saw was him crying at the end. If thats called passion then its pathetic.
I'm not a McDavid or Oilers fan but this seems very unfair and biased. McDavid played a huge part in the Oilers even making it to Game 7
(against a deeper, stronger, and more battle-tested team who lost their own game 7 the previous year). The Oilers as a club were spent by G7. You could tell about 15 minutes in that they used up every ounce of fight they had to extend the series and they had nothing else to give, McDavid included.
In no way, shape, or form did McDavid
"not give it his all"... and his all-time elite playoff numbers make such a claim foolish. McDavid is a Grade A competitor. Watch his documentary. The kid was rehabbing his injuries beyond what the team requested just to get back quicker. When asked about it, he said something along the lines of,
"They just gave me a lot of money and I do the team no good unless I play, so I need to get back." The dude is an elite competitor. I have no problem with his screaming and I'd want him on my team any day of the week.
