Someone should've checked the average weather for this time of year.

Eddie Olcyk just proclaims Nate McKinnon the best player of the world. Host offers up Mathews and McDavid with a little blurp said acknowledging Mathews. Silence on McDavid. Incredulously some in the league and its media are still sleeping on McDavid. For the record, my list is McDavid, McKinnon and then Draisaitl/Captain America.I love McKinnon's game and he carried an Aves team with substantial injury problems last year... but he's not Connor McDavid.

Looks like they are playing on a lake!
Watch right to the end!
it’s pandering to the US audience for sure, combined with probably a bit of ignorance. The guy playing for a US team and the #1 American player will definitely get brought up more on a US broadcast than Canadian players on Canadian teams.
Tinpot league. Let's end these outdoor games. Stopped being a novelty a long time ago.
No offense. I understand the context. I'm not surprise or ever surprised that we're subsumed pretty much all the time with 'Merica perspective living in the shadow of a giant. In context it is a quick, throw away sound byte but still reflects the narrow cast view. NHL needs to do a way better job of marketing its stars.
Surprised it took them that long to use it. Way better than the modern logo.
I agree. The issue is just that with America being so obsessed with America, the majority of fans getting into a sport that has never been overly popular there will probably remain ignorant of non-American players. Majority of basketball stars - American, football stars - American, baseball stars - American.
In Ontario the media push Nostrils as the best player in the world.
In BC the media push Diving Petey as the best player in the world.
In the USA the media push MacKinnon as the best player in the world.
We’re surrounded.
The league doesn't respect McDavid, as is evidenced by the constant clutching, holding and tripping allowed against him we see most nights. The media just follows their lead.
I think this is a cool idea given they can’t have fans and need to generate revenue somehow.
Bettman may be a lot of things but he can’t control the weather.
Well that was a waste of an hour. Should have just gone for a walk.
That is Down Goes Brown’s opinion.
And my questions are who is Down Goes Brown any why should I give a f*** about what he thinks?
In the end if you don’t like it all I can suggest is don’t watch.
He's just poking some fun at it. He's a really good writer. I have one of his books, highly recommend it. Guy is really funny, and intertwines hockey and humor in a great way.
