In the after practice media session I noticed after McDavid and Nurse were done talking, Connor asked to talk to Spector privately. Wonder what that was about…Spec asked if he would be okay playing less minutes on the PP.
Interesting nonetheless.

Spec’s article yesterday essentially blamed McDrai for the teams woes and he had something to the effect of Connor can’t carry Crosby’s equipment bag defensively.
Here’s the snips;
Connor McDavid uses his surreal speed to fly the zone and scorer highlight-reel goals, but not often enough to prevent chances in his own zone. He’s great with the puck, but without it McDavid -- who has spoken of his need to defend better, and has made strides -- still couldn’t carry Sid Crosby’s equipment bag.
He could, if he wanted to. If McDavid ever wants to win, he’d better learn to want to.
Leon Draisaitl could be the best all-around player on this team. Quite possibly the facto captain. But when a team has wild swings like the Oilers have had -- win six, lose seven, lose six, win four -- it appears rudderless.
We’re not in the room, so we don’t know for sure. But when a team is this streaky, we believe the top players (like Draisaitl) should be able to stabilize the effort. To achieve buy-in. To bring players like Jesse Puljujarvi -- who has been entirely lost for two months -- back into the fold.
The passengers: Kailer Yamamoto, Puljujarvi, Barrie, Zack Kassian. Deadweight here for new coach Jay Woodcroft to figure out. Useful players who have absolutely forgotten how to help this team, and its former coach, win

Absolutely brutal. You could tell though that the Oilers media loved Tippett (who fed them) and were quick to try to defend him.
