Edmonton is no good.

Can we finally admit this thread title was a bad idea? Very few people wanted it. When it was created the oilers were on a three game losing streak, had lost seven games out of ten, had 11 points, and were on pace for 50 points. After this thread was started, they promptly won the next eight games in a row. After losing three in a row they won 16 games in a row, including all 11 games they played in January. Since this thread started their regular season record was 44-15-5 (119 point pace). They've won all three playoff series and are now 4 games away from winning the Cup.
Maybe we take this thread and thread title out back and shoot it. Maybe we make a new thread, with a proper thread title, before the playoffs start, to get rid of the bad juju.

Wow. He clearly hates it.
LMAO at the guy sitting on his trunk like they are buddies, and the lady grabbing at him and asking for a hug.
Yeah these people are nuts.

As a fan I really hate seeing this kind of stuff as you should never get in the space of other people like this regardless of who they are. You get the feeling from the way he kept going about his business ignoring them that it's not the first time he's had to put up with fan harassment. This is why so many Canadian players would rather play in the USA and I can't blame them as this would get really old on a weekly basis.

When someone is staring at their phone instead of interacting with the person, the dynamic gets even weirder. Like they are primarily worried about making a video instead of interacting with their hero. Just weirdos all around.

As others have said, why isn't he just ordering to his house? This is wild.
That was embarrassing for sure, those fans suck.

Okay... so those fans were obnoxious. Embarrassing behavior on the part of the fans. Very entitled to think they can just invade McDavid's space like that.
I would love to see what transpired from the moment they saw him. Did he even acknowledge their existence at all? Was he being a dick right from the get go?
If he greeted them, took a selfie with them and signed an autograph I bet they may have been on their way... probably would have bothered him a bit or kept videoing him until he drove away but still looked like idiots. As for McDavid, based on other similar incidents, I feel like he probably ignored them from the moment they recognized him which made this video look worse than it could have.
Those fans though. The dude is clearly not interested in engaging with you. Leave him the F alone. Show some respect.
All around. E=NG. What an embarrassing look.

Does mcdavid not know he can just order booze right to his house to avoid all the trash edmonton fans?

One of two things:
1. He knows they won't be celebrating anymore so they're doing it now
2. Already planning the parade party.
Okay 3... Free beer for the refs.

His choice in beers is as spectacular as his personality. The Canadien is probably for Pissy.

Just a soulless floating zombie.
It's weird how strangers instinctually violate his personal space (going back to that hand holding asian couple). His reaction/expression says this is just another day and the cost of selling your soul and personality to the devil for all-world talent.

Well if anyone knows how to reach him, it's kind or urgent.
Unless he's on some Canada's team BS, and has gone dark side on us.

I, for one, don't have any sympathy for him. Now he knows what it's like to be constantly bombarded with his "greatness" on SN. Ron is played by hugger and Monster Truck is the guy sitting in his car.

I think of myself as a bit introverted and a little bit socially awkward as well but my reaction to that situation, which would never happen of course, would be to say: "ok guys, thanks but I'm out with my girlfriend right now and kind of need to get going. If you want we can take a quick picture but you're a little over the top and I've really got to go".
To just pretend they're not even there is just weird. I think I would even find it more normal if he got mad and said something along the lines of: "Guys, enough, give me my space" than how he handled it.
I guess, in fairness not generally reserved for this thread, we didn't see the lead-up to when the filming started and maybe something was said or done before, but...weird.
