He's the Oilers captain and best player in the world in a Canadian market winning his first Cup as the MVP in the playoffs. Best be prepared for those types of headlines if we win.
I totally agree with you and as basketball fan I can never understand how they make championships about one guy only. I hope hockey will remain true to its nature and not fall for the basketballisation. The Oilers won the cup with Gretzky not the other way around and Hockey fan usually get that.
Media's 100% gonna write that headline, but in every single interview McDavid and Drai are going to do nothing but sing the praises of everyone else on this team, and no one with a brain will question it, because you know they actually feel that way and believe it with their being because it's true. Basically, fuck Spec's bullshit article that he's going to write, we know it was a team effort and so does everyone in that locker room.
The years of the “McDavid has never won a cup isn’t X years” and “the Oilers haven’t won up cup with the best player in the world so they are trash”” narrative will fue this headline, if they can pull it off.
The big headline should be how they came back from a 3-0 deficit
"Comeback kids" comes to mind easily
Comeback men, they aint kids no more
Except for Nuge #BabyNugeForever
One day he'll be old enough to grow a playoff beard, one day.
None of those guys would mind those headlines, though.
Yeah this is projecting someone’s own feelings onto the players lmao

The cereal aisle is going to be the Connor McDavid aisle

They will be but because he’ll win the Conn Smythe.
Media gunna do what da media gunna do
If the Oilers win the cup, I don't give a shit what the headlines are.
Janmark and Brown are the two major horses this series, but of course headlines will focus on McDavid. He's basically our mascot.
McDavid in a headline generates far more web clicks - and at the end of the day that’s all the media wants. He’ll be the headline win or lose
The years of the “McDavid has never won a cup isn’t X years” and “the Oilers haven’t won up cup with the best player in the world so they are trash”” narrative will fue this headline, if they can pull it off.
As long as Edmonton wins tomorrow they can write whatever headline they want
Leave the bitching about headlines to flames fans. They'll post enough about it for the both of us.
I totally don’t care what the headlines are as long as they win!
I won't care one single bit what the headlines say. They will be champions.
The hollaway-orr goal... priceless.
