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

[Czechboy]

What does this mean?

Oilers' patchy defence and goaltending being kept afloat by firewagon offence is a known issue but they're still CONTENDERS?

I'd say they are playoff locks but to believe they are anywhere near consistently reaching say, conference finalists, is a homer stretch.

Also the thread title needs to be changed. McDavid didn't bring up the first question himself, even if he may have agreed with the premise of the reporter.

It may be a homer stretch but it's also a pretty consensus stretch. I actually haven't seen a list that doesn't have us near the top. Have you?

Perhaps we view 'homer' differently.

Eg. Athletic has us and Canes as 1/2.

 

[Coffey]

Just take the L and move on.
Don't let your emotions take over and sound like a whiny bitch.

Good thing last nights game wasn't on home ice, the ice would have been littered with Oilers jerseys. It would be hilarious if the Canucks spank them again on Saturday except this time would hurt more because it's on Oilers ice.

Would be hilarious to see but I doubt it since the Oilers will regroup again and McDryBaby will be more motivated to stay for all the 2 minutes on the PP.

McDavid the player is incredible. McDavid the person always comes off as a complete douche.

 

[HanSolo]

Oh man. Like it's one thing to ignore the unspoken mercy rule but it's another to be on the other side of it and petulant that a team didn't strictly follow said rule after a blowout loss.

I mean ultimately his post-game comments aren't a big deal but it's still not the best look for a captain and the top talent in the league.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Well, I don't like Edmonton, but McD is the best player since Gretzky and Lemeaux. He can say whatever he wants

Agree, but who the fk is Lemeaux XDDD

McDavid the player is incredible. McDavid the person always comes off as a complete douche.

I feel like his social life has suffered due to his dedication to hockey, happens a lot to top tier anything in the world. You have to judge him for it, but you can understand why, I guess?

 

[jackjohnson]

Agreed.

It's pretty funny so many people call McDavid a crybaby as they post all this hyperbole based on some minor comments on a question he was directly asked.


(For the record I'm not an Oilers fan)

Not sure if you really heard what he said. McD said he didn't like Canucks putting their number 1 PP unit after the 6-1 scoreline. That to me sure sounds like whining

I need to start playing GTA I guess lol, thank you. Haven't played it since Vice City TBH but was my one of my all time favorites haha.

 

[Wayward Son]

I watched the clip and it seemed more like the reporter specifically trying to get a soundbite about PP1 rather than McDavid using the post game interview to complain about it. Meh.

 

[1specter]

Virgin behaviour

 

[Matty Sundin]

Mcdavid in recent months his appearance looks awful. Almost like the guy just focus on hockey and forgets to shower.

 

[GordonGraham]

Thats why i dont like him such a whiner/corporate guy like Crosby

yesterday here in the paper we had an article with quotes from many players about what they would change in the league if they were in charge some complained about shoot outs, 3 on 3 too short, playoff format, back to back game, scheduling, cutting the number of games and Mc David said to be honest i wouldnt change anything its pretty much perfect.

 

[Oilslick941611]

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

It was the other way last year and we put an emergency goalie in for the last minute. If you let a game to 8-1 just take your lumps and move on to the next one.

 

[EdJovanovski]

He's visibly rattled that Bedard & Kravtsov are close to taking his spot on the throne, he senses that his reign is coming to an end.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

After the hullaballoo from Covid, if Demko is that sick why the f*** was he playing?

Because on a societal level, we’ve reached the point where enough people have either been vaccinated or had COVID to reach herd immunity.

Whereas in 2020, COVID was a virus we had zero countermeasures for, which overwhelmed the capacities of many hospitals to care for patients, and thus a lot of people got sick and died alone.

I'm with you. I still wish they'd do a proper remaster. Gta 5 level graphics. I'd say they should expand the story but I don't know about recasting Tommy Vercetti who was voiced by Ray Liotta.

Take me back brother, take me back, we’re old lol.

Who?

 

[jackjohnson]

Damn McDavid started golfing early after that blowout game last night

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

He was specifically asked by the reporter about them putting PP1 unit on the ice when the score was 6-1. He made some pretty benign comment about not liking it, yet we're on page 7 here and counting.

This guy gets it lol!

 

[brock hughes007]

The thing is,the Canucks are better this year,then last season. And it showed .

So what, McDavid should have said their team sucked instead of answering Oilers media stupid whiney questions lol
