LOL watch you words!It made me a fan of Brady. He just seems like a simple guy that likes having a good time. Matthew has always been a favorite of mine because he plays the bad guy role so good.
Your little fantasy of bringing the trophy back to smash it some real juvenile unhinged garbage.You stopped far too short in your response.
See, if I was the Captain of my team and I had earned the Conn Smythe, I would have gone, collected the Conn Smythe without acknolwledging anyone, taken it back to the locker room and destroyed it in front of my team. I want to win but more importantly I want my team to win, these guys in the room with me to win, the logo I got on the front of my sweater to win, I want buy-in, things like that is how you get it from others. It sends a message. If I'm McDavid and if everything I do is criticized whether its good, bad or parkay, I would start doing things like that. I wouldn't have to look for the missing pieces of our puzzle at that point, they would come looking for us.
I'm on a mission and everything I do is not as important as getting everyone on the same page and on that same boat. I would use the moment to build hunger into the team. Hell, it's Connor's team. I sure as hell wouldn't be in the locker room feeling sorry for myself, consoling others on the failed attempt at getting the Cup. That sends the wrong message.
They should be angry and determined to go back at it and win. That's what I want to see this year.
Don't be jealous, they'll let you do that too.Your little fantasy of bringing the trophy back to smash it some real juvenile unhinged garbage.
Your only experience in leadership is picking teams in gym class.
So you are or were a professional hockey player?Its easy to talk from a position of a fan versus actually being there
Did you miss the end of game 5 when McDavid blew his coverage and allowed the winning goal to Miller?I dunno man, he seemed very passionate when he was dominating the Canucks and everyone else in the playoffs and literally broke a Gretzky record.
I saw him claw back into a series and compete at the highest level in game 7, this just post just reeks of desperation and envy. McDavid is the best player in the league by a mile, I genuinely hate the Oilers but even I can admit that. If Draisaitl wasn't so badly injured they probably win the cup.
But such a salty post lmao, citing JT Miller when McDavid destroyed Miller in the playoffs is certainly a choice.
Im not the one playing the tough guy act onlineSo you are or were a professional hockey player?
No one's playing any act, I made a statement of what I thought and it has annoyed some folks, including you. If anything, you're playing the tough guy on, of all things, a Forum. Calm down, bro.Im not the one playing the tough guy act online
So what, hes emotional and sucks at public speaking. Grow up - people busting in here wouldnt do shit if in his position, they just talk it
You can think its that - or you can maybe self-reflect for even a second and realize what you and others have said is ridiculous lmfaoNo one's playing any act, I made a statement of what I thought and it has annoyed some folks, including you. If anything, you're playing the tough guy on, of all things, a Forum. Calm down, bro.
Yes I wish the people around here trying to shit on the Oilers would dig the f*** in!Some of the takes in this thread are absolutely embarrassing. And this is coming from someone who takes every opportunity to shit on the Oilers.
Hard to believe that this is a professional sports athlete acting like this. This is usually how kids act when Mommy doesn't buy them ice cream.
Well that's not good enough, wah wah. No wonder why none of the players were listening to him. If you want your teammates to listen to you then maybe don't act like a 3-year-old.
Neither are professional sports.Hollywood isn't real life.
Neither are professional sports.
Idk. Maybe thinking that they actually were trying really hard, simply aren't as good as he is, and don't really appreciate getting yelled and cussed at for it.The best player in the world is screaming at everyone to dig deep and the rest of the team is walking around acting like he's invisible. It's great to see that spark from Mcdavid, makes me like him even more but what's with the rest of the team ?
If that's the reaction from the room there are significant personnel issuesIdk. Maybe thinking that they actually were trying really hard, simply aren't as good as he is, and don't really appreciate getting yelled and cussed at for it.
I would have punched Corey Perry if I was McDavid. It was all his fault. He brought that go to finals every year and lose curse to Edmonton
