Gretzky was much the same when he came into the NHL. He even asked that star players get preferential treatment from the refs. Gretz hated to get hit.

Gaudreau is tiny, yet he's much more tough and classy than McDavid.

I wasn't even alive for most of Gretzky's career and I hate that guy.

Complaining about bad luck when drafting #1 three years in a row and we're gifted a generational player. Their lack of self-awareness has reached new heights.

So you're saying the Oilers and their fanbase are pretty much like Dudley in the Philosopher's Stone. 
Pittsburgh needed only Crosby and Malkin to lead their rebuild into contention. Chicago, Kane and Toews. Edmonton get Hall, Nugent-Hopkins, Yakupov and McDavid gift wrapped to them, run two out of town, turn RNH into who we know today as "The Tenderness" and continue to be inherently bad (outside of superhuman performances from McDavid). And of course Draisaitl (3rd), Puljujarvi (4th), and Nurse (7th), as if the former picks weren't enough to put together a semblance of a competent core.

It's quite obvious. They just need one final high pick and it will all fall into place and then it's not longer if, but how many. My guess is they win the next 14 of 16 Cups. Just math.

Yeah it will. He does a lot for that team, and they still find ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. If Connor is a guy that loves to win, then he's gonna realize pretty quickly he's in the wrong place.

What was McDavid thinking with this comment? Man up Conner. Don't call him out for not fighting your goons if you aren't man enough to fight him yourself. If you are too much of a coward just keep your mouth shut. Wow that's just really pathetic.

McCrybaby looked exactly that in the post game interview. Whining about a hit from last season hey suck u caught an edge when got shoved turd and crashed. Maybe he shouldn't be trying to go 100mph at the net.
Crying tonight that he wouldn't go with Lucic. That is not this protected crybaby's place to make a comment that dude didn't want to fight another player. Seriously stfu Conner.

This is why you don't make 19 year olds captain.

Yeah he really did look like a frazzled kid tonight. Not a good look for the supposed team leader.

the irony about all of this is that McDavid opened the door to more guys trying to get under his skin by doing the exact same thing that Manning did...
like the NFL, its a copycat league, so if you can throw someone off their game, within the rules, then players will do exactly that.

Neil Sheehy probably just cracked a smile after seeing that McDavid interview.

I actually think McDavid woke the Flyers up when he said "#### you, you ####in bitch" to Manning after he scored. Philly scored three in about a minute right after that.

Guys...Connor is a kid who is just getting used to losing all the time, and who can blame him?
Hes the Captain now, hes losing a lot, his future looks bleak, hes bitter, its understandable.
