The NHL is currently on fire and dying because the heritage classic is next week, and McDavid is hurt.

Another spectacular job from the NHL!

Inflation has outpaced revenue growth since 2018.

When every other sports league is seeing massive increases in revenue and the NHL is chugging along at ~0-1% real dollar growth it doesn't paint the image of a thriving league.

Your stats, as exclusionary as they are, still show growth.

The other poster said the league is on fire and dying. I’m waiting for those stats.
 
If he is going to miss 6 games they might as well at that point LTIR him and have him miss 8 games, rest up and save $1.2 million in cap space. That Connor Brown $3.225 bonus is starting to look bad on next years cap.

I feel like I saw way more Crosby and Ovechkin in their prime than I see of McDavid. Maybe it’s different in Canada but I doubt many Americans know who McDavid is


Young Ovi was the best candidate of the three to be the face if his peak at or above Crosby’s level lasted longer bust Crosby also had the Canadian advantage


Ovi was super marketable though, very fun personality shown despite the language barrier in his early career


McDavid is the most talented but the league feels sorta faceless, I don’t really know how you market him as a person

Crosby, at least in Canada, was shoved down our throats to an amazingly obnoxious degree.

Is the heritage classic that big in Canada or only to fans of those teams involved any given year? I’m not even sure if they televise it in the US lol

In Canada, the Heritage Classic is revered as the single most important celebration of Canadian Heritage every year. Missing this event for any reason is the equivalent of spitting on the Canadian flag, which Connor McDavid is doing.

It’s just like a regular game for those outside the teams playing. It’s nothing special
 
Didn't he famously mouth "It's broken" for one of his previous injuries when it turned out to be a day to day thing? Better leave the diagnosis to the professionals there, Connor

It's probably dead in the water for McDavid to reach 1000 points by the end of the season, but he's still winning the Art Ross if he plays ≈70 games

It's good for him and the team do not need to work on McDavid collecting useless regular season points which resulted in the team tired in play off.

The big stage would be the winter classic not the heritage game imo

the big stage is to win the cup.

This is where Draisatl needs to prove he is actually the 2nd best player in the world and not a product of McDavid.

The last time McDavid was injured for 2 weeks, the Oilers played 6 games, went 3-2-1, and Draisaitl had 12 points in that span.

I guess we will see.
