The fans also by and large speak and understand more than enough English to know what is going on. It strikes me as a silly thing to complain about.

Do they do that for world cup soccer/Olympics/anything? Seems totally unnecessary.

Certainly not complaining. I just think it would be nice.

And it would feel more international if they had that.

And yes, they do it at soccer events.

Well then. They finally noticed he's good.
I suspect HF Oilers is probably losing their crap right now.

If so (spoiler alert) Gaudreau's line has been the best one for team NA and he's been the best player on the ice.

I don't know, Johnny's good, but McByron and Patrick is a little bit of an overpayment.

Hilarious listening and reading to Oiler fans get all jealous because Johnny is getting some attention.

How dare people talk or admire someone other than McDavid!@?!??@?@?@?@

Don't they know that this is the McDavid Cup! Played by the best players in the McDavid Hockey League? The best hockey league on Planet McDavid!

The ESPN pbp guy just said that McDavid and Eichel side by side are like two fighter jets.


Kinda makes sense I guess. Fighter jets don't score goals.

Nope minutes. Learn to read.

The collective Oiler-but hurt at how well Gaudreau's playing is pretty amusing.

Is McDavid not even taking face offs? What exactly is his role on this team?

Some of the McDavid complaining in this thread is beyond pathetic. Can't some of you just let it go and enjoy the game?
