As SportsnetSpec writes, it sounds as though Connor McDavid has had his fill of losing.
enough question to know: The eye roll means more than whatever words follow.But far more often, the eye roll isn’t a comment on the validity of the question. It’s more about the position the query puts McDavid in.
The takeaway? It was too early in the season to ask McDavid for an honest dissertation on what it’s like to watch another year fade into obscurity, playing for an organization whose run of playoff absences has now reached Top 3 in NHL history. It was the right time for McDavid to let his feeling be known, after a typically non-competitive 3-1 loss in Vegas, complete with the usually shabby goaltending and absolute dearth of support scoring for McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
“We don’t even have a GM, so I don’t think we’re in any position to comment on next season,” McDavid said. “We have a lot of crap to figure out. I hope we can put the right man in the spot and we can put together a good team.”
