McDavid questions Vancouver switching goalies and playing PP1 in 8-1 game

[Divine]

Talks about it at the 2:25 mark

Meanwhile, Canucks explanation:

 

[Skiiiiiiinerrr]

Lmao. Imagine it was the other way. He's gonna have the same attitude? Bullshit.

 

[Three On Zero]

Mcdavids first hockey game? Guy consistently tries to pad his stats, even in blowout games

 

[LemonSauceD]

McDavid strikes me as a creepy weird guy to be honest. Someone you don’t want to be friends with.

 

[KapG]

Maybe show up for the game. Edmonton is a joke lmao.

8-1 to the canucks…lol

Edit: didn’t demko vomit in his mask? Why the f*** would he stay in the game?

 

[KaN19]

Don't hear similar complaints from other NHLers when McDavid is padding his stats and playing the full 2 minutes on the PP in blowout games. He is no better than MacKinnon or Kucherov at 5v5.

 

[thaman8765678]

Isn't McDavid the biggest stat padder in the league?

 

[Tebowz]

Canucks will put up 10 on Saturday.

 

[Super Hans]

"Thatcher, what can you say about that turd sandwich the Oilers team put on the ice and did it have anything to do with you getting sick?

"Yeah, I 8-1"

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Connor is going to run the Canucks goalie next game.

This rivalry is just getting put into the oven!!

PS Go Sharks!!

 

[WetcoastOrca]

If a team takes cheap shots I have no problem with the other team throwing out their top power play. He should stop the whining and focus on his own poor play that game.

 

[BigTruzz]

Lmao. Funny coming from McStadPad

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

For context
Demko threw up in his mask due to a flu going around

 

[MS]

They also played the grinders on the PP for the last 2 or 3 tantrum penalties McDavid and Draisaitl took after 7-1 so he isn’t even right about that, either.

6-1 against Edmonton early in the 3rd, hell yeah you’re playing PP1. Your team could take a 5 minute PP and that Oiler PP could score 3 or 4 times on it.

 

[jd22]

The best part is... the Canucks didn't put out their PP1 unit at 8-1. Hah. The 8th goal was scored by 4th liners, even.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Of all the things to focus on after an 8-1 shellacking. I really respect McDavid as a player but that’s not what a leader should be focussing on. It just comes off as whiny.

 

[canuckking1]

The Canucks stopped playing their first unit at 7-1. Why wouldn't they play their first unit after Drai took a clear cheap shot at their best player? They're lucky that the Canucks were putting out the mercy unit with all the cheap stuff they were pulling.

 

[PensPlz]

McScoring Titles would be out there in a 10-0 game in the 3rd trying to score like it was OT.

Which actually explains a lot why he's gassed by round 2 of the playoffs and vanishes but whatever.

 

[SimpleJack]

McDavid comes off like such a lil bitch here lol

 

[Horvat1C]

Remember when the Oilers put in an EBUG goalie for the end of a blowout game?

In what world is resting a sick goalie worse than that?

That was actually a fairly respectable move, let the guy have his moment and say he played in an NHL game. Terrible comparison

Nothing wrong with it, but there's nothing wrong with pulling out a goalie who literally vomited in his equipment.

 

[wonton15]

Flu game, 1 month old child at home, and still does that.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Tocchet in McMuffin's head already

ngl I laughed my ass off when I saw the backup going in. But sure maybe Demko was sick, maybe he was just playing ill.

Oh absolutely not, McDavid just needs to keep quiet until he knows the facts
