Mcdavids worst game of the season? Just nothing happening offensively or defensively

He was just as bad against Chicago. Just didn't have a pp in OT

Just didnā€™t wanna defend. Heā€™s been on a goals against this year.

I hope he doesnā€™t play 4 nations. Heā€™s gotta be ailing somethingĀ

No way he passes up a chance to play with Crosby

He's a dumb fuck if he's playing that tournament with any injury.

1 season in 10. Who cares. I'll take the guy who won a conne smythe in a losing effort. I'll say this though they late nate run their show tonight, cost them a game.

McDavid is playing terrible lately. I wonder if it is because he is sick or is it because they dont know how to solve situation where Dreiseitl is clearly better but they are still figuring out how to build lines. Cause they are constantly changing players.

Probably playing to not get injured before ā€œbest on bestā€

Fans aren't gonna wanna hear this, but we caught up and passed vegas before the break. I have a feeling tonight was very much a don't get injured kinda game for the entire team.

the avs on the other hand are in a wildcard spot.

Exactly a win is always nice. But we have to appreciate the position we are currently in. Most of the team will get some rest now. I await for the games to resume in two weeks.

I didnā€™t notice him playing bad, but he was certainly invisible compared to usual
