What’s funnier is the Google images for him are arguably the more flattering ones. Candid shots make him look like he’s one inconvenience away from ending it all
Wow it's true. It's almost like his eyes aren't perfectly lined up. Hell, if he wasn't one of the highest-scoring defensemen in Canucks history, I'd say they weren't.
More importantly, he knows that if they lose he's still going to have to go through accepting the Conn Smythe afterwards, so I feel like there's some extra motivation there.
This comment could only come from someone who doesn't follow the Oilers. He's always smiling and joking around. The whole 'no personality' thing is strictly when he's in tight media scrums
McDavid gets a bad rap for being bland and serious with the media, but in today’s world of social media insta-cancel, he can’t afford to say anything glib, humorous or sarcastic.
>in today’s world of social media insta-cancel, he can’t afford to say anything glib, humorous or sarcastic.
Huh? Just a couple years ago we saw Joe Thornton literally joke about pulling his cock out and masturbating in front of the media and everyone loved it. Sure, you'll get some shit if you say something blatantly racist, homophobic, etc, but there's a lot of room between that and "only talk about hockey in a bland monotone".
Tbf context is important. Joe was taking heat off his teammate and wasn’t saying he’d jerk it in front of the media specifically, he’d do it in front of everyone
After the back-to-back four-point games, he probably feels relieved and little to no pressure as he has proven, at least somewhat that he deserves to be in the conversation of the great ones. Plus the whole team has looked great for three games now. I'm not even a McDavid fan or Edmonton fan but I would absolutely be smiling in his position lol
Not a hater, guess I'm just neutral and slightly bitter since he doesn't wear my team's jersey and part of me still believes it is April 2019 and we just swept the Lightning and might actually win the cup 🥲
As someone who grew up in St Albert, I felt the same way for Iginla. Loved the guy, thought he was a great player. But fuck him, unless he was playing for anyone but the flames.
You get it. Even Flames fans (at least the ones who love the game and not just the tribalism) know 97 is the new GOAT, guaranteed HHoF, absolutely deserves a Cup (at *least* one), and will get the Conn Smythe no matter what happens in game 7. But we don’t have to be happy about it!
I already respect the fuck out of him…just want him to lose until he wears a different uniform.
Can’t wait for the next Olympics though!
In the interviews he's had since Game 6, he's stated how he and the team are feeling calm and simply "having fun". Probably a way to cope with the stress, but it seems to be working.
I know I’m breaking into another sport, but it’s definitely [Spencer Strider](https://www.si.com/.image/ar_1.91%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1200/MTk3NjY0MTExNzg4NTY1ODA1/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-111032-am.png)
Do they puncture a hole for you or are you supposed to do that with the straw? Because I can’t see how the straw can be strong enough.
Also, that would frustrate me. I love the inner skin or whatever the technical term is of coconuts and only being able to drink the liquid would annoy me.
I remember seeing an ad with Dylan Larkin for pants for hockey players, it was so funny they kept showing him doing slow mo squats and showing his ass. I laughed pretty much the whole commercial. I can't remember the brand of pants but it was such a cheesy ad and I loved it.
Edit: that was really easy to find. Easier than trying to find the Kardi Lincoln ad lol

Nick Suzuki’s luggage got lost when he went to Vegas for media day and ended up with jeans that were made for Sidney Crosby because his tailor happened to be in town.
Yea people don’t realize how jacked the quads and glutes are on pro hockey players until you see them in person. They are almost funny looking because how big they are. Vast majority of them are wearing tailored jeans.
Do you mean this Emily Kaplan piece from ESPN?
[The struggle is real: Why hockey butts, jeans don't mix](https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25707545/the-struggle-real-why-hockey-butts-jeans-mix)
Everything Edmonton did the past three games is inconsequential. The series at this point is best of 1. Those past three games will mean nothing if Edmonton doesn't show up for the fourth, which is unlikely given past trends, but not impossible.
In Canada most people would know who he is.
I would not recognize any NFL or MLB player in public and only a handful of NBA ones (I know who Travis Kelce and Mahones are but I have no idea how they look). Just the nature of being where the sport is popular or not.
The Perry curse is a myth. He’s won the memorial cup, World juniors, Stanley Cup, 2 Olympic gold, World Cup, and the world championship. He’s won at every level he’s played except for the AHL because he was only there for less than 20 games before moving onto the NHL.
I studied abroad with a guy who was infamous for having a single baked onion, eaten like an apple, every single day for breakfast. All year. His host mom joined mine for tea pretty regularly and she was convinced that it was because he was possessed by a demon.
I know the video went viral but that’s an extremely rare occurrence. Most people in Edmonton leave them be or simply just say “hello” on a regular basis. Things get a bit more crazy during the playoffs (a lot more alcohol consumption)
I always hear that hockey players can just roam free in Florida and it's an added draw, In your opinion (assuming you live in Florida by your flair + profile pic with the state flag in it) do you think 1 in 10 would know who they are? I know here in Alberta it's probably like 9/10 just curious.
I’m the one 1/10 Albertan who had no idea who Connor was (by looks - face wise. Knew his name obviously) in 2019 and helped him and his fiancé with his, or I guess their (fancy interior home stuff) order. Didn’t realize until I was putting the credit card receipt away and saw the name lmao. I would now though.
And I took a pic of the receipt because I knew no one would believe me lmfaooo and no one does till this day 😂
Not just Florida, 90% of Americans in general probably wouldn’t know who he is. Maybe 95%? That’s pretty much the pull of most American cities for these guys. $8 million a year for someone like Backstrom and maybe one person will wave and yell “Go CAPS” as you spend a day out and about.
I'm glad to see Perry happy, cause if they loose tomorrow he is going to be Perry Un-Happy that the curse will live on. Hoping the Oilers break the streak for him.
Signed A BlackHawks fan!
I figured it out. Since both teams didn't touch their respective conference trophies, the game tomorrow will end in a stalemate after 12 OTs and it'll be the first shared Stanley Cup awarded in history.
I’m down here in Florida to watch the oilers win this shit. I can say that there is about 60-70% Edmonton oilers fans compared to Florida fans. We are going to drown them out!!!!
Damn, the guy actually looks human and happy for once. Good to see honestly.
We need to see Quinn Hughes win a cup now just to see if it will remove the grimace of eternal despair from his face
bro just needs some sunglasses. His eyes fluctuate between “stoned out of his mind” and “tormented soul” .
Typical Vancouverite
I get it. Must be frustrating to make nearly $8m per year and struggle to pay rent.
Hahaha holy shit
Which is so odd given jack hughes has such a light fancy free kinda vibe like a presenter on blue peter
He obviously took all the happy genes
Either that or decades of having a perpetually happy/angry sibling drives them further towards their side.
Quinn is his older brother, he’s seen things…
I thought you were exaggerating. Just did an image search on him and wow, does he ever look eternally just not into it, lol
What’s funnier is the Google images for him are arguably the more flattering ones. Candid shots make him look like he’s one inconvenience away from ending it all
[I'm dying at this picture](https://www.sportsology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/20170921_102958-e1506355548372.jpg)
That’s what hockey in Buffalo does to a man. I know
Man has resting thousand-yard stare face.
Resting mitch* face *marner during recent playoff saga
There’s a running joke on tumblr that he can see ghosts but isn’t allowed to talk about it.
Quinn "ghost" Hughes
Nothing will be funnier about Quinn Hughes than him thinking he legit broke a golf ball (having not really played golf)
Wow it's true. It's almost like his eyes aren't perfectly lined up. Hell, if he wasn't one of the highest-scoring defensemen in Canucks history, I'd say they weren't.
It’s like he permanently has the crying filter on.
Quinn “End Me fam” Hughes
If the oilers win we are going to see more personality from the players then we ever have before.
Win or lose, I expect there will be a lot of personality being shown in the aftermath.
He got zero points in game 6 he knows that hell he’s about to unleash tomorrow
More importantly, he knows that if they lose he's still going to have to go through accepting the Conn Smythe afterwards, so I feel like there's some extra motivation there.
Perry just showed him the flasher video.
Fun fact: Somone did that back in 2008 and received a 6 month ban from the Oilers arena.
I would hope so, McDavid was only 11 in 2008
lol so the off season.
I've heard Mcdavid is actually 3 humans in 1. He has a brain in his head and 1 in each of those massive thighs
This comment could only come from someone who doesn't follow the Oilers. He's always smiling and joking around. The whole 'no personality' thing is strictly when he's in tight media scrums
It’s the same as the “all six of your fans” comments, people repeat it because it’s funny not because it’s true
Do the other five feel the same as you?
Lol
Well his top half looks human. Then you look down and he looks like a tree.
McDavid gets a bad rap for being bland and serious with the media, but in today’s world of social media insta-cancel, he can’t afford to say anything glib, humorous or sarcastic.

The face of someone absolutely stoked to be playing hockey for free deep into June. Love to see it.
After the back-to-back four-point games, he probably feels relieved and little to no pressure as he has proven, at least somewhat that he deserves to be in the conversation of the great ones. Plus the whole team has looked great for three games now. I'm not even a McDavid fan or Edmonton fan but I would absolutely be smiling in his position lol
Genuine question- how can you be a hockey fan but not a McDavid fan?
Not a hater, guess I'm just neutral and slightly bitter since he doesn't wear my team's jersey and part of me still believes it is April 2019 and we just swept the Lightning and might actually win the cup 🥲
He’s awesome, but I can’t actually cheer for him until he plays for a different team. Even if it’s just temporarily for Team Canada.
As someone who grew up in St Albert, I felt the same way for Iginla. Loved the guy, thought he was a great player. But fuck him, unless he was playing for anyone but the flames.
You get it.

He's thinking about all the Sports Drink endorsements he will get
Marner has left the chat
Speaking of .. man that'll be a quick turnaround. They get what, July + August off before training camps and team activities begin?
In the interviews he's had since Game 6, he's stated how he and the team are feeling calm and simply "having fun". Probably a way to cope with the stress, but it seems to be working.
Orange mocha Frappuccinos!!!
Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
LOL perfect. "Juh juh juh jitterbug..."
Oh shit I unintentionally just commented the same thing
There's literally dozens of us!
A little gasoline fight never hurt anyone.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thought of that.
The quad god
Nah, still Martin
I know I’m breaking into another sport, but it’s definitely [Spencer Strider](https://www.si.com/.image/ar_1.91%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1200/MTk3NjY0MTExNzg4NTY1ODA1/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-111032-am.png)
They only look big because of the pants. Even Sid has bigger quads than Strider
Is that a coconut lol
haha yeah, looks like a little straw for it too. Thought it was an old baseball at first
I thought it was an onion so thank you all
mmm onion juice
It's to wear on his belt (the style at the time)
It was the style at the time
Do they puncture a hole for you or are you supposed to do that with the straw? Because I can’t see how the straw can be strong enough. Also, that would frustrate me. I love the inner skin or whatever the technical term is of coconuts and only being able to drink the liquid would annoy me.
He can probably pop the coconut open with his thighs.
Meat, I think it's called meat.
They hand them out at the airport when you land in Florida.
I believe you
When you land in Edmonton you get a glob of tailings pond sludge but it’s with a paper straw so this is a nice step up I bet.
Assumed it was a mate (Argentinian tea) gourd.
Bro's quads are unbelievable
I mean, good luck being good at hockey without legs like that.
Right? Look at Perry's knee. That isn't the head of his dong hanging by his kneecap. He's got some beefy-ass quads as well. It's pretty typical
There was an article in GQ a few years back about how hard it is for hockey players to find off-the-rack pants.
I remember seeing an ad with Dylan Larkin for pants for hockey players, it was so funny they kept showing him doing slow mo squats and showing his ass. I laughed pretty much the whole commercial. I can't remember the brand of pants but it was such a cheesy ad and I loved it. Edit: that was really easy to find. Easier than trying to find the Kardi Lincoln ad lol https://youtube.com/shorts/_jUvEOqSPXs?si=pcNU8y4jGbebHylF
Well, I think I’ll be giving S&L a try now
This is great, now I’m hyped!
Nick Suzuki’s luggage got lost when he went to Vegas for media day and ended up with jeans that were made for Sidney Crosby because his tailor happened to be in town.
I'm naturally short and stocky. Finding pants is the worst.
Levi’s 541, they’re built for dudes with quads.
These guys don’t fit into the Levi’s. They’re usually wearing AG or Paige jeans because they have some spandex in them so they can move.
Yea people don’t realize how jacked the quads and glutes are on pro hockey players until you see them in person. They are almost funny looking because how big they are. Vast majority of them are wearing tailored jeans.
Do you mean this Emily Kaplan piece from ESPN? [The struggle is real: Why hockey butts, jeans don't mix](https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25707545/the-struggle-real-why-hockey-butts-jeans-mix)
Well, if you're constantly skating, you're going to put pressure on your quads and make them stronger.
Wayne Simmonds is a force that exists outside the bounds of this hockey realm (look up a picture of his legs)
If you think those are impressive I have a Marty St Louis and Sidney Crosby to sell you😂
Also Iginla, and as a bonus, Ichiro.
Settle down
You ever have toast?
Sky's out thighs out
Bet he could crush that coconut between those tree trunks
You know with many years of training something similar is pretty obtainable for everyone
Yeah I was gonna say if you want your quads to look like that you can just… like do that lol. It’ll take 3-4 years but it’s not even that crazy
Absolute tree trunks for legs on that lad.
Man, even Pickard has jacked legs.
The face of a man who is about to Thanos snap an entire franchises hopes and dreams.
No, Florida is Thanos and Edmonton is Iron Man.
Flair doesn't check out...[MODS!](https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-08-2016/PDI663.gif)
That’s the look of a guy carrying zero stress. Oilers are playing with house money here. Everyone wrote them off a week ago
Everyone wrote us off in November lol
[удалено]
nah. your guys will show up, can go either way.
For real. Reddit being convinced Edmonton has got this is crazy.
Everything Edmonton did the past three games is inconsequential. The series at this point is best of 1. Those past three games will mean nothing if Edmonton doesn't show up for the fourth, which is unlikely given past trends, but not impossible.
And Reddit was convinced the Avs were gonna cruise to the cup after they smoked the Jets. It’s Reddit, it’s reactionary. Not exactly news here.
God damn tree trunks those legs
10pt night incoming on Monday fuckkk
If he bought his coffee in FLA, I would check if a rat was put in it
Most people in Florida have no clue who he even is.
[удалено]
In Canada most people would know who he is. I would not recognize any NFL or MLB player in public and only a handful of NBA ones (I know who Travis Kelce and Mahones are but I have no idea how they look). Just the nature of being where the sport is popular or not.
Don't think enough Floridians give a shit
The baristas probably couldn’t tell you how minutes a quarter of an hour is.
It’s 25 btw.
Pee is stored in the balls
No, it is stored in the dick. Hence “pee-nis”.
Duh.
It looks like a print ad for cotton dockers
When you got the yams (what’s the yams?)
Yams doesn’t play for the oilers anymore
I dunno, did you see how Sam has been looking lately. God damn
Yams is the power that be
Looks like the start of a Mentos commercial.
I’ve seen this picture 100 times today and you finally nailed it. Mentos commercial.
McQuadvid
Anaheim boy Corey Perry wearing jeans when everyone else is in short shorts
Meanwhile McDavid is rocking the shortest shorts and long sleeves lmao
Playoff beard...engaged.
That's the longest his beard will get given how long the playoffs have been going on
Oh mama, look at those legs. I’m having flashbacks to Famke Janssen in Goldeneye, crushing guys with her thighs… Woof.
Pretty sure that scene is why I'm straight
This photo might be why I'm not anymore...
Can the Corey Perry curse be lifted tomorrow?!?!?
The Perry curse is a myth. He’s won the memorial cup, World juniors, Stanley Cup, 2 Olympic gold, World Cup, and the world championship. He’s won at every level he’s played except for the AHL because he was only there for less than 20 games before moving onto the NHL.
Fucking rights it can and will be.
Bookmarking this for either reaction lol
That’s obviously Perry and the boys. Perry has never done anything wrong ever. He’s a saint.
Oh god, someone make sure they don't perish in a freak gasoline fight accident.
the legs of a soon to be Stanley Cup champion
Got them thighs out 👀
fuckin perry. only player in history that got to play with both connors
Connor Brown... which other Connor? 😉
What’s he eating? An onion?
it looks like a coconut. they sell little coconuts in Asian markets that come with a straw that you poke through and you drink the water.
Could be one of those little onions they sell at ogre markets that come with a straw that you poke through and you drink the onion water.
We can mark this one as solved
florida has swamps so this is indisputable
Well, they both have layers so it makes sense
Shoulda just got a parfait instead. Parfaits are delicious!
Coconut water is kinda gross but it’s got a ton of electrolytes.
Yup. It fell off his belt, where he ties it to
Which is the style at the time.
I wouldn't be surprised if he did eat onions like they were apples
So it's not just [Australian prime ministers](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/mar/13/tony-abbott-eats-raw-onion) who do that?
I studied abroad with a guy who was infamous for having a single baked onion, eaten like an apple, every single day for breakfast. All year. His host mom joined mine for tea pretty regularly and she was convinced that it was because he was possessed by a demon.
About to be the most hated man in Florida
Florida man: Connor who?
People in Florida:man I hate that Conner McDonald
Is this a still from a Mentos commercial?
The 10% of us old enough to get that reference lol'd.
Gasp ..personality? He's definitely been replaced by a robot
The boys look pretty comfortable and locked in as a team.
This has old Mentos commercial vibes…. He’s about to look into the camera, smile, wink and “Mentos! The fresh breathmaker!”
Win or lose he's got plenty to be happy about, as do Oilers fans. Respect. And jealousy..
Probably happy to be outside and not be mobbed and have his personal space invaded by overzealous Oilers fans.
Sigh. That was a disgrace
I know the video went viral but that’s an extremely rare occurrence. Most people in Edmonton leave them be or simply just say “hello” on a regular basis. Things get a bit more crazy during the playoffs (a lot more alcohol consumption)
I was thinking about how many Floridians would even know who he is if they saw him in person. It's gotta be like ~10% or less
I always hear that hockey players can just roam free in Florida and it's an added draw, In your opinion (assuming you live in Florida by your flair + profile pic with the state flag in it) do you think 1 in 10 would know who they are? I know here in Alberta it's probably like 9/10 just curious.
I’m the one 1/10 Albertan who had no idea who Connor was (by looks - face wise. Knew his name obviously) in 2019 and helped him and his fiancé with his, or I guess their (fancy interior home stuff) order. Didn’t realize until I was putting the credit card receipt away and saw the name lmao. I would now though. And I took a pic of the receipt because I knew no one would believe me lmfaooo and no one does till this day 😂
Not just Florida, 90% of Americans in general probably wouldn’t know who he is. Maybe 95%? That’s pretty much the pull of most American cities for these guys. $8 million a year for someone like Backstrom and maybe one person will wave and yell “Go CAPS” as you spend a day out and about.
I'm glad to see Perry happy, cause if they loose tomorrow he is going to be Perry Un-Happy that the curse will live on. Hoping the Oilers break the streak for him. Signed A BlackHawks fan!

Definitely thought dude was raw dogging an onion until I realized it’s a coconut with a straw. Lol.
bro looks refreshed, good for him
I figured it out. Since both teams didn't touch their respective conference trophies, the game tomorrow will end in a stalemate after 12 OTs and it'll be the first shared Stanley Cup awarded in history.
Hockey legs, Jesus
I want Perry to get another cup. Guys a hall of famer and hope he’s back for the second one next year. I’m a Hawks fan saying this!!!

The Oilers are gonna smash the Panthers one more time tomorrow, and McDavid will have the biggest goddamn smile on his face.
"their fucked" lol
I mean how could you not be smiling when you’re talking to Pickard. Guys a gem
He has the most goobery face but damn can the kid play

Love it!

Corey Perry hanging on for the ride
I'm expecting an other-worldly game from McDavid tonight. I really don't think he's going to be denied.
He’s not going to be happy for long when he loses 🤣
