McDavid Asks Teammates to Come to Camp 2 Weeks Early

[CantHaveTkachev]

Yeah exactly this... How wasn't this already a thing in Edmonton, like it is pretty much everywhere else.

where does it say he "asked" them? any proof?

 

[Three On Zero]

where does it say he "asked" them? any proof?

and so it was revealed on Thursday that McDavid has requested his teammates return to Alberta two weeks before the start of training camp to participate in informal skates

It’s right in the second paragraph

 

[TheDoldrums]

Better make it 3 weeks next year

Seems like they are tired already

 

[kranuck]

He tired them out.

Stupid McD should have known better.

 

[Divine]

They lost 8-1 on the opener to the injured and flu-ridden Canucks

But... on the plus side:

 

[Mike C]

Seems like they are tired already

From the deep playoff run?

Oh wait....

 

[Chips]

Where’s the Spector tweet

Edit:



His Twitter feed is great tonight, looks like a typical angry reactionary Twitter fan, like 10 tweets in one game shitting on the team

 

[Chips]

He demoralized them by ruining their summer

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

McDavid the typa guy to remind the teacher he forgot to check homework with 3 mins left in class

 

[DimitriL07]

Cup or bust

 

[authentic]

Give them 2 weeks off

 

[SI90]

Obviously burnt out after such a long Training camp.

Can't remember the last time this team lost like this to a division rival. Historical levels of beatdown for the Oil. They came in cocky. Left humbled. Got to give the Canucks credit. They were playing like it was game 7 of a playoff series.

 

[Asinine]

McDavid the typa guy to make his own highlight videos and post them on YouTube.

[EdmFlyersfan]

Anyone else think this was a mistake? Maybe rubbed some players the wrong way? Oilers playing apathetic hockey right now...

Best comment I've seen in a long time. LMAO.

I’m pretty sure lots of players come back to their city early and start skating together, it was just a nice late summer storyline about a star to start getting fans ready for the season.

Same result tonight, Flyers laid the hammer on the Oilers and they couldn't respond at all.

The sky is falling in Edmonton

As time goes on it becomes more clear that mcdavid is missing something that the true all time greats had. He is not cut from the same cloth

Say what you want about his playoff numbers. I see straight through them like fish tanks wit no fish in them

yeah he should try putting up more pedestrian numbers say 19pts in 24 games then maybe he’ll win. Nothing to do with the team around him

Did you watch crosby that run. He did everything that was needed. Faceoffs. Back checking leadership etc. He played exactly how you want your best player and captain to play. Gtfo with that nonsense.

Sounds like how someone would argue toews over Crosby in 2015. Intangibles!
