Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Jamie McLennan discuss Connor McDavid’s praise for the Tampa Bay Lightning and were his comments an indictment on his own team in Edmonton.

  1. Jackson is McD's man, McD should blame him and the whole rotating door of GMs in E Town. We never gave McD a #1 goalie or defense

  2. Goats don't talk like this. Im sorry. This is whining. Terrible look for supposedly the best hockey player on the planet he sounds like LeBron James.They literally ran Skinner out of town for a worse goalie they could have grabbed on waivers at one point. You wanted know why? Because they are so scared of McDavid leaving they made a move just to make a move and it was terrible. What kills me is no one wants to talk about their almost 20 million dollar blue line that cant be bothered to play defense or guard the net. No one wants to talk about McDavids terrible play in last years final. The McDavid Leon line was ass. How many people are you going to run out of town before you just admit your culture and the media around is just Toxic. The team needs a heavy restructuring. They should have have just done that in the first place. Instead they tried to run it back with less depth. They are looking more and more like the maple leafs every day. A roster full high paid players and effort is zero. I completely understand McDavids frustration because they guy clearly wants to win a cup there but you gotta be above taking shots like that it will only make it worse. Lets face facts unless there is a huge shake up with the Oilers McDavid will be playing Hockey in the states sooner than later. You know what else no one talks about the fact that I truly believe the Oilers are cursed for trading Gretzky to the states. Trading Gretzky to the Kings would be like the Bulls trading Micheal Jordan to the Raptors after he won his 4th ring.

  3. By far, this panel is the most delusional and contrarian hockey discussion show going. I think they post these shows on purpose. Imagine being a Toronto Maple Leafs Glazing show, and talking smack about the Oilers? LOL That's no different than the fox playing victim inside the hen house.

  4. McDavid may be the greatest offensive player of all time, but simply put, he is not a leader. He does not deserve the “C” on his jersey. He needs to own it. He is the one who needs to set the tone for practices and games. He’s the guy who can lift his teammates to the next level. But instead, he puts them down. They don’t respect him. He whines too much. The next team he plays for, he should not be the captain. I think he’ll be better off, and so will the new team. There is no Stanley Cup in the future for Edmonton with McDavid. To me, that was pretty obvious at the end of the Cup finals last year. Time for him to move on.

  5. None of this is surprising. With the raises to Draisaitl and Bouchard, they didn't have the money to fill in holes, like the last 2 years. With the cap going up the next 2 years, it gives them extra money. But after that, the window is slammed shut.

  6. McDavid and Leon are great and I like a couple of other players but generally they do not have the players to support

  7. Look down any bench in the NHL . Most goals are scored by a few players .Edmonton can play defence and loose 3-2 .Edmonton was always 1 or 2 players from winning the cup .

  8. We'll see, one thing about the Oilers is that if they are in the playoffs, they are not easy to put down. Regardless of the recent play.

  9. If having the two best players in the world don’t get you to the playoffs……..is it time for a rebuild?

  10. Fellas, please don’t blame the Edmonton goalies, they will never get a great goalie because their team defence will break down. They have a bunch of great forwards who know how to score, although they obviously miss Draisital, but team defence and team offence wins cups.

  11. I stand behind the oilers but there at zero point in the season have they been chugging along or playing with an ounce of confidence. Hiccup after hiccup after hiccup. Disorganized, dysfunctional, full on regression
