Connor McDavid's teammate responds to the star being hounded by fans
A teammate has responded after Connor McDavid was harassed by Edmonton Oilers fans while trying to buy some beer following the team's WCF victory.
With the Edmonton Oilers on their way to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006, talk has pivoted to how fans are treating the star players of the team. In particular, Connor McDavid.
A video recently posted to social media shows fans hounding McDavid as he tried to buy some beer following his team's win in the 2024 Western Conference Final. McDavid tried to keep his head down and power through as much as possible, but the fans didn't make it easy.
This has led to talk over whether a teammate should be accompanying McDavid, one of the league's biggest stars, when he runs errands for the team. Teammate Stuart Skinner was asked about that by reporters. He said he wasn't even aware of the incident in question, but has no doubt McDavid can take care of himself.
Most hockey fans have condemned the actions of the fans in the video. Star NHL players are used to dealing with fans, especially in hockey crazed markets like Edmonton, but this went far over the acceptable line.
The 2024 Stanley Cup Final between the Oilers and Florida Panthers gets underway Saturday night.
