McDavid on playing in Edmonton during a losing season

[Whiston532]

I guarantee those guys harassing Connor are probably not even fans, just some guys who bought a hat to look cool. Probably think he’s some 3rd pairing dman or something

 

[Frank Drebin]

Probably, except they aren't losing. So he isn't exactly wrong.

It was a pointless comment to incite bickering. I shouldn't have replied.

Why was a fan chirping McDavid??

As far as I remember he was a random guy, could have been fan of any team... Just because a guy is in a restaurant in Edmonton doesn't mean he is an oilers fan...

Edmonton Oilers fans stand up for Connor McDavid after he's heckled in public

It wasn't a fan....he was an asshole among a group of assholes doing what assholes do to impress their friends....and most likely they weren't from Edmonton and most certainly weren't Oiler fans.. Total non-story one time incident.

The restaurant looks like Joey in South Common and if that is the case.....that speaks volumes.

Chirping McDavid for Edmonton's problems is the dumbest thing Ive read in a long time

if its the one from the video (yes he taped himself chirping mcdavid) then im not sure that even relates to edmonton. i know edmonton can get bad sportswise but he was cringy af. The kind of guy that I'm sure Toronto has 4 times as many based on population size. Some dudes are just craven for attention and get harsh and cringy as f*** when they are really just insecure.

This thread is just bait for the "Mcdavid will leave lololo" crowd. The few ****tards that say that stupid **** to him do not represent the million in the city that worship Connor like a god. Its sad that he doesnt mention the overwhelming support and love he gets but talks about one or two moments where a dumbass decided to show how stupid he/she really is.

Toronto/Edmonton are top 3 most passionate fanbases out there along with MTL. In these cities hockey is huge, like HUGEE. Everyone grows up playing/watching or being connected to hockey somehow. Which means that the hockey teams have armies of extremely loyal and passionate fans. When the fans are giving the team everything but the team isnt doing **** all for them that leads to an army of pissed off people. All 3 of these fanbases can relate:
-Edmonton decade of darkness/still inept management
-Toronto's 51 years of nothing, complete incompetency but they have turned it around very well
-whatever the **** is happening in MTL rn
All we want is a good hockey team to represent us and be fun to watch. 99.9% of fans are incredibly loyal and passionate and dedicated to their teams. But occasionally you find the one dumbass that will stupidly chirp a player/burn a jersey/throw a jersey onto the ice. These 1 in a million jackasses don't represent the majority of fans who show undying loyalty to their team.

/Rant

That's pure speculation on your part, I'll assume it's a lot more since he brought it up.

I think we can both agree that McDavid is a class act through and through, he's not going to throw this out there if it was an isolated instance.

When you’re winning you’re King when you’re losing it sucks.

The way it goes in any Canadian market.

Except in Ottawa when they can’t sell out in the playoffs.

 

[McAsuno]

Imagine fitting all Oiler fans in a narrative just because of a couple of idiots.
Go figure leafs nation has to chime in a thread that has nothing to do with their team per usual.

 

[jetsforever]

Of course some fans are going to get annoyed (not that McDavid deserves it) - I'm not sure why this is news

 

[KarmaPolice]

Why was a fan chirping McDavid??

He was no fan, for one thing. A true fan wouldn't heckle the star of his favorite team, not unless he was some complete idiot. That should answer that part.

If I remember correctly, the main heckler got exposed, doxed or whatever it's called, and basically had to go into hiding because so many people wanted to kick his ass for being such a stupid moron. Almost every Oiler fan hated what happened to McDavid with those hecklers, and anyone who enjoyed it has issues of their own without exception.

 

[Romang67]

He's a professional athlete. He's used to this sort of thing. It probably rolled right off his back.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

McDavid gave an interview with GQ and opened up about playing in Edmonton during a losing season. Some honest answers from the usually reserved McDavid.

Connor McDavid Is Done Being Chirped At

He's the only reason that team is watchable, they should be thanking him

 

[TheDoldrums]

Good to see McDavid doesn't appear to be too concerned about it right now, he obviously doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.

 

[Sugi21]

Chirping McDavid for Edmonton's problems is the dumbest thing Ive read in a long time

Well th captain always goes down with the ship so they say

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

those hecklers got lit up on social media so badly they had to issue an apology

complete morons

 

[flamesforcup]

Those hecklers probably got their ass kicked so to speak and I thought I heard they had to go into hiding after that incident.

Was there this many Toronto vs Edm threads before McDavid was drafted? Doubt it.

I know the people who it was. They never got caught by anyone lol.

 

[Legion34]

He's a professional athlete. He's used to this sort of thing. It probably rolled right off his back.

The fact that he brought it up a year later when the team is starting a new season makes you think it rolled off his back????

[Senor Catface]

At one point someone needs to step in with these Oiler topics and Divine.

Wasn't McDavid there, too...? Lol.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

NOT a Toronto thread.

 

[the4thlinegrinder]

Are they Oiler fans?

 

[Skolman]

Uh he was asked the question....

 

[Eternal Leaf]

That's the passion and size of a Canadian market.

You get all sorts of goofballs.

Imagine how much of a clown you have to be to chirp McDavid of all players. A guy who carries the entire team on his shoulders.

 

[Da McBomb]

"How miserable was the town of Edmonton during a losing season last that?"

Talk about a loaded question.. what was he supposed to say to that?
