I honestly don't blame the kid for chirping McDavid. Trying to throw McDavid off his game and get the win (Philly did end up winning that game).
That's gamesmanship. Rats usually find a way to win teammates over. Matt Cooke always seemed to be comfy with his teammates.
I will have a much bigger issue if this guy continues to play for us like he did for Chicago. Absolute garbage.
Yep, it was just words said in the heat of battle. We’ve all said stupid shit to people we either love and care about in the heat of the moment (our parents in our rebel years or our spouses) that we don’t mean,but definitely intended to say to piss them off or get their attention. It’s definitely happened between strangers and we are all guilty of this at least once in our lives.
If Connor can take the high road, be it he sincerely means it or it’s just lip service (but him reaching out to Manning to welcome him speaks volumes of his character) and forgive and forget, so can I.
Welcome to the team, Brandon. Hopefully he can be a positive contributor to the team and earn his paycheque.
