Ugh, he couldn't wait to do this stuff until after the Canucks took him 1st overall? 
Pretty crazy story in any case.

A little early to pronounce judgement although some will, and have.. but word going around about possible context.. McKenna is my #1 pick for sure now.. regardless of circumstance. 
Any donkey that calls your mom a whore to her face in public needs a dusting.
The guy should thank McKenna for providing this valuable life lesson in character and the boundaries of acceptable civil behavior.
Kid packs a punch for such a rake.

Maybe he slips in the draft and lands in Edmonton???
Tough to go from Penn State to the state pen.
Obviously the details have yet to fully emerge other than internet rumours. Will be interesting to see who really started the altercation. Lots of athletes have had run-ins at the bar, and if he really was there with his mom, then unlikely he was partying hard at the time.

I guess every agitator in the league knows how to get under his skin now.
