DRAISAITL HILARIOUSLY CRASHES MCDAVID'S INTERVIEW WITH NICKELBACK

Who put these three in a room together? TSN Hockey's James Duthie sat down with Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger to discuss Boots & Hearts Country Festival, a little bit of hockey, and a little bit of music. Oh, and Leon Draisaitl suddenly appeared for a bit as well.

[@mugmoment]

I love that he's finally opening up to the cameras and we finally get to see some of their personalities

[@aaronrobertson3297]

Think that might've been the boots n hearts beers tbf

[@Dr.Acula76]

He's not all business during the offseason

[@templarrising6299]

I think he was a bit shy and I don't blame him. He's young.

[@patrickd3634]

Yeah he's so electric.....

[@ryans413]

My fav Leon goal was when he put the net back in place then scored a goal shortly after

[@tombstoneranch69]

It's weird to see Connor "relaxed". That man is running on pure raw determination all season when he hits the ice. I'm a Bruins fan but damn it's hard not to love that kid.

[@StevenStamkos91]

Bro just needed a few brewskis to show more personality on camera

[@jennaschwinna2347]

The collab I didnt know I needed

[@jdepaz5933]

My favorite draisaitl goal was the one where he one timed it on the power play and made a shooting gun hand signal and blew the smoke from the barrel and whispered “it’s drai time baby oh yea, watch out fellas I am a bad bad man “ then skated off like Clint Eastwood riding off in the sunset. Definitely the most epic drai goal ever

[@troybaier5460]

Just wait until he gets the same questions night after night from the useless media...the robot stare will be back.

[@JM-zz8sc]

I think it’s more the fact he’s not sweating his ass off after a game and have to deal with microphones shoved in his face asking the same old question. It’s like talking about work while at work

[@richardcalisi9188]

I don't understand why Nickelback was so hated.

[@bdbdkdfotbrveiw]

Not that theyre hated, just a few bands from that early 2000's era sounded exactly the same as one another, Nickleback just seemed to be the lightning rod

[@JHockeyFan]

They were so good and then the music didn't evolve, and for whatever reason it became cool to hate them. I've always liked most of their music

[@dontreportmecauseialreadyb8658]

Draisaitl looks so much older but he was Drafted in 2014

When we stand together and how you remind me are good songs. Though admittedly I had to look up Nickelback in order to remember any of their songs. Okay, those two were also the only ones I know by name. But they're both good though.

[@ilarivaisanen]

Are you 13 years old? In the adult world, no one cares what's cool. Nickelback might be the most hated band but that doesn't make them bad

[@edenisburning]

@@ilarivaisanen It's called marketing. I am an adult and clearly understand marketability more than you. If you want to increase the reach of your sport, which is the point of things like this, you usually want to use a band or group that's actually popular. Using the most hated band in the world is the opposite of good marketing. Therefore, the NHL is out of touch with what's cool.

[@edenisburning]

@tromedl This is a marketing stunt.. a publicity stunt. Sports do this to grow their reach. The league isn't growing anything using Nickelback. Marketing campaigns aren't about you or me, who are already NHL fans. They are for new fans, and ideally, younger fans. Again, Nickelback isn't going to do that. As I said above, the NHL had Soul Asylum play at an event a year or so ago. Soul Asylum. Do they think kids still listen to early 90's pop grunge?
