OUff - that was hard to watch. I think we're getting Marnered boys. https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey /oilers-connor-mcdavid-edmonton-friedman

Dunno. Think he is just sick of questions about it, and he knows the 2 guys asking him in this situation desperately want to hear him say he is leaving to Toronto. McDavid has never been an easy personality to get a read on. Heard from someone friendly with one of the tweeners in camp though that McDavid is almost frighteningly intense in camp this year. Seems he is extra pissy off and on a mission after last playoffs.

Just to note too, Marner left because he hated the fans, media and the pressure. If McDavid leaves it’s because he doesn’t believe in our managements ability to build a winner. That would suck of course, but I would have a hard time disagreeing with him.
