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

[LickTheEnvelope]

McDavid should be more embarrassed they got toasted by a bottom feeder team, mostly sick, and missing guys to injury.

Pot calling the kettle out.

Captain of the highest-scoring team (by 24! goals) last season complains how other team runs up the score.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Normally get this shit from the Habs

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Just one game folks. Just one game. I guarantee you the canucks will not be carrying forward any of the goals they scored on opening night to the next game.

Relax.

i dont get the saltiness, they had an extra 2 weeks to prepare for this

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Just saying, he handled these questions well. The thread title implies McDavid said these things on his own. He just answered someone else's question. These guys are hyper competitive to make it to this level and he gets asked a pretty provocative question just after a humiliating loss.

Damn, the McDavid haters are out in full force.

You heard it here, folks. Don't you dare bring in reality when it comes to McDavid. Don't question anything. Do not even sneeze in his presence. Okay, okay -- over the top. But c'mon man. There's a wide gap between what is in this thread and actual hate.

Stop being a baby. Plenty of examples of hatred in this world. This thread isn't one of them.

Glad my team could put Connor into a bad mood to start the season. Seriously though, is there anyone else in the league that runs up scores more than him? I'm sure he will try to get 15 points on Saturday, hope highes doesn't whine about it.

Even if Demko wasn't sick, I don't see the problem with resting your starter in a blowout. Seems like a smart move.

News to me that the Oilers have a second powerplay unit

But isn’t that a slap in the face ?


Also that dog looks very ferocious and evil(I do regret to say evil) in your profile picture.

I hope he’s just on guard and not evil

To who?

Also who even is the Canucks backup? If they’re trying to make the playoffs I assume they want him in as much as possible. Resting him in a blowout makes strategic sense

To the Oilers but I guess who cares

No more a slap in the face than putting in your worst relief pitcher in a baseball blowout or playing your bench in a basketball blowout, it just seems logical and it's kinda weird that it's not common practice to put in the backup when you've got a 5-6 goal lead. Why risk injury to such an important player in that situation.
I cannot speak to the character of evil yorkie dog, he is not mine but only an internet dog.

He is a born salesman. Trying to take the attention away from a certain #1 draft pick who is outscoring him so far.

 

[General Disarray]

Wow all the McD haters just crawled out from their rocks in this thread lmao. I'm no fanboy so I don't care much, but it's hilarious

 

[DFAC]

Wah wah wah who cares - just play better then

 

[MCR74]

How about McDavid quit whining for once? He wouldn't be complaining had the Oilers done this and won.

Your team didn't show up. Take the L and go home.

A little concerning this happened in game #1, but at the end of the day it's just one game. Even cup winners get blown out a couple times during the season.

 

[John Pedro]

First game of the season... Oilers really ruined McDavid's mental health for good

 

[TheOne]

McDavid looks ready to steal your catalytic converter in this vid

What playing for/in Edmonton does to a mf'er

This the same guy who played in a beer league championship game in the summer and lost.

 

[SomeDude]

Clearly the Oilers are worn down from McDavid asking them to come to camp like 3 days early or whatever.
