Player Discussion Connor McDavid Part IV (Nominated For The Calder)

[MoneyGuy]

I haven't looked forward to a new season like this for...well, let's say nine years.

 

[sepHF]

Will be lots of fun to watch this year, I cant wait

 

[McDynasty]

Nurse looks monstrous. Haha, holy ****. Someone was busy this offseason.

Nevermind, Wow!

 

[McDynasty]

Just stumbled on to this on Youtube. Never seen it before. Oilers talking to McDavid about the draft.



He explains what was going on with him and Strome in the crowd.

That made my day, thanks for posting that.

 

[Asher]

no surprise really, but:

Should I even care about who this "Lorenzo" guy is?

 

[Soundwave]

where were these comments from?

Some big names follow him. I would argue he has some connections. Either way, it's not much of a claim to make. Everyone knows he will be named at this point. The way he talked at Biosteel about it made it seem that he has already been informed of it by Chiarelli or McLellan.

I can't wait for him to break the water is wet tweet.

I mentioned it once before, but I've heard the Oilers are considering a ceremony of sorts to name McDavid as captain. Might even have Gretzky make the announcement and hand him the jersey with a 'C' on it.

I highly highly doubt it and if they do, that's ridiculous. I'm sure that McDavid wouldn't want to be part of such a charade.
However, it sounds like something the OBC would do and since they are still very prominent in the organization, maybe this ridiculousness will happen.

They should have Gretzky hold a sword and Knight him, ...then have a torch to pass over...and as Connor stands to accept the torch, all the alumni bow before him.


now that would be a ceremony

 

[MoneyGuy]

I hope they make as little a splash as possible. I'd be happy if it happened quietly. Why put more pressure on the kid?

I really hope they don't too. It would be super corny and over-the-top.

Release the stone of shame. Attach the stone of triumph!

 

[McRpro]

Well if they do have any kind of ceremony involved at all, let's just hope Emperor Katz doesn't have a speaking roll.

 

[McPuritania]

That made my day, thanks for posting that.

Np, mate. I enjoyed it as well.

 

[sepHF]

the "C" will be presented by Katz son

Fixed

Speaking of which...that dude got big. real big. He's no longer the small fat sideshow bob wannabe.

Really?

It's a professional sport and winning should be the expectation.

After a decade out of the playoffs perhaps it is time for this team to get a little more grit to them and not worry about putting 'too much pressure' on someone with something as minor, and fan friendly, as making a bit of a spectacle out of awarding the captaincy.

Admittedly Gretz being there could be a bit cheezey, but whatever they decide to do the 'too much pressure' argument should have little to no consideration.

'Dude' went through his growth spurt over a year ago. He was noticeably taller last year at the draft.

Fat wannabe?

Don't forget the 97 naked virgins holding goblets of fire lined up on either side of his red carpet. If you're going to do it, do it right.

Get this man a job with the Oilers.

I feel sorry for any d-man that has to try and stop McDavid. Good lord is he fast.
