I wouldn't be surprised if he had. I used to work near one prominent football (soccer) club and near every night there was a massive flock of ladies waiting to... play chess with the players of course and we are talking about hundreds of ladies aged 15-30 on occasions.

I was waiting for McDavid. Guy already has 159 goals and about 120 of which are highlight reel goals. Honestly a lot of the goals from this video were everyday ones for Connor. Hertl’s was pretty dam sick, went between two guys with speed, awesome dangle between the legs and perfect finish. Most of the others were sadly, not that impressive in today’s nhl.
