To me, that was the reaction of a captain who knows he's on camera and realizes he needs to do/say something to save face.
That's not somebody who's experienced or comfortable with confrontation or being a voice. He reverted to childhood tantrum mode as that's probably the last time he's acted that way.
Horrible look for a guy who has no business being a captain of anything.

People will sometimes follow a leader that resorts to shouting and intimidation.
Nobody at all follows a kid with shrill screaming having a complete meltdown of a tantrum.
Thank you very much, but I will prefer to follow Winston Churchill into battle vs that weirdo giving me a headache with those high notes.
I think studies have shown that the first and possibly the second outburst like this have an effect on people. It wears out its effectiveness after the second time. As Hyman said…we’re used to it, meaning that it has no effect.
“Let’s go” and “dig in” won’t save humanity if the aliens come.

Future historians will celebrate June 24, 2024 as the date when the timeline corrected itself.
Coming into the dressing room after a game where you played 26 minutes and your other 3 top forwards played 23, 22 and 22 minutes and yelling at the remaining 8 forwards who averaged just over 10 minutes in ice time combined is a little ridiculous. You had no goals, averaged 33% in the faceoff dot and played almost half the game, who are you screaming at exactly? That's peak entitlement but the grease fans will lap it up.

I also have been wondering about the timing. That's after game 2, being June 10. Game 3 wasn't until June 13.
Were the players supposed to think at the anthem three days later:
"Hey. I remember Connor really shrieked at the end of last game. I should try hard now!"
Speaking of which... This cursed piece of poop thread needs to die and be replaced before the new season starts.
How is it cursed? The Oilers lost, this version of E=NG is essentially the “The Shawshank Redemption” of E=NG, especially the crawling through a mile sewage. Insert free Andy gif

They were 5-12-1 and 30th overall when this thread was started. They went 44-15-5 after this thread was started and went to Game 7 of the Final.

Jeez, if I had a tantrum like that caught on camera I'd be insanely embarrassed. Not only is he raging on like a whiny baby, but NO ONE is paying him ANY attention whatsoever.
