RAW | Connor McDavid 01.31.25

Connor speaks to the media as the Oilers practiced at Rogers Place on Friday afternoon in preparation for the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

[@GoBudsGo]

HNiC 7est start time is standard for highest viewership across Canada. Connor should know that having born in Toronto and also grown up being a Leaf fan!!!

[@MapleLeafistan]

He knows, he's just teasing the media. He'll be playing in Toronto soon enough 😂

[@charleskletter8974]

Get well immediately guys.

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

Immediately? That sounds like an order, Charles.... 😂👍

[@RB26DETTr32]

Connor needs to get that shooting mentality back....... the best player in the world needs to call his own shot more often and not make high risk passes to defensemen.

[@homielander5924]

Agreed he constantly passes when he’s in great shooting spots

[@TheBunnysTrueFan]

He has so many chances to shoot ones that will hit the back of the net 90% of the time. He chooses to pass though, and his teammates aren’t that good at finishing them.

[@WendyByar-re8uq]

Really bad cold and flu going around Edmonton hitting the Oilers too

[@DoktorSammich]

The whole locker room is sick right now, hope the bug passes soon.

[@Old-Blue]

@@DoktorSammich I had it for three days some kind of Covid strain, I tested positive.

[@homielander5924]

RIP

[@randomassname445]

They're getting sick way too often. They need to be more careful.

[@NotWBT]

He has a point lol, changing the time to 5pm just for Toronto viewership. Wouldn't happen for any other team...

[@GoBudsGo]

When you play the Mecca of hockey, you have to capitalize on the dollar. Leaf Nation is world wide.

[@MapleLeafistan]

It's Canada's team. Just deal with it.

[@Gibz32]

Same boring questions. Lol

[@nomadman123]

you never know how these tournaments will feel until they get going. It will start to develop a personality and the competitiveness will amp up. There are too many great players for it not to be awesome. I'm most excited to see Connor and McKinnon and Makar. But maybe he'll really click with someone else. Connor and Sid, who's the passer and who's the shooter? They can do both! Talk about dynamic, they will be on a higher level.

[@clyydddeeee1]

I hope Davo isn’t sick 🤒. He looks wiped out

@ you delete one. Tf I gotta do that for?

[@tequila6306]

@ I would if I could lmao it’s just stupid to have the exact same comment twice. Idk why you’re so worked up about this

[@stevejohnson1012]

You sound sick now, flu going around the locker room?

[@zoer5333]

Yup. Ekholm, Kapanen and Klingberg have all been sick enough to miss practice. The rest are all varying levels of sick

[@Dave_Lion]

Does anyone really care about the 4 Nations Cup? Cause im really not interested. Especially mid season where someone can get injured.

[@stephaniea1579]

I’m excited- obviously hoping no one gets hurt also. But it’s like an olympics preview, lots of those players will be on the Olympic teams

[@thruxt0677]

I do. If anyone gets injured atleast it's mid season, Anyone can get injured every game. For me the chance to see the top players from 4 nations play together is incredible. Maybe not Petrangello

[@iced_coffee_21]

I'm super pumped, actually!! It's gonna be wild seeing McDavid and Reinhart team up 😍 I think they'll be an amazing combo!!

[@GoBudsGo]

Agree, this event should have been held post season in September when there is zero hockey.

[@fulefoan2830]

If he has got the flu it’s nothing new, he seems to get it every year. Does he get his yearly flu shot?

[@homielander5924]

Yep he does

[@DoktorSammich]

Locker rooms are among the dirtiest, filthiest, nastiest places on earth. You’re gonna get what the other guys got in that environment. Also winter Edmonton is the perfect breeding grounds for airborne illness with everybody indoors and already sneezing/sniffling. Happens every year.

[@reganbodnarchuk2716]

If he gets the shot he still gets the flu

[@taylerthompson5427]

just beat the leafs

[@MapleLeafistan]

😂

[@MrLambus]

Just beat leafs fans fake fans good players

[@onkyolive8399]

Keep asking the useless tournament. Just don’t get hurt the massive stage awaits in April here..

[@Old-Blue]

After tonight’s lost to the leafs this team is going nowhere but down, bad coaching, skinner should’ve been pulled after the forth goal, skinner has put this team down how many times in the first ten minutes? Time for a new goalie.

[@Old-Blue]

There will be more Leafs fans at the game than Oilers fans, and, if Skinner plays like he did in the first against the Wings they have a chance, but don’t count on it.

[@jessiefroese5591]

Ittl be like 60 oilers 40 leafs

[@r52euphoria]

Like to see Pickard in net, he’s more consistent. Skinner is scary, you never know, he has no consistency .

[@homielander5924]

You mean when he plays with only 7 shots on net?

[@Old-Blue]

@@homielander5924 or none like in the Kings game.

[@spiritedtruthseeker5929]

Its the leafs, if the oilers try they will win
