Bryan Hayes joins SC with Jay Onrait for another edition of Harvey’s Hot Takes, where he gives his thoughts on if he’s ready to put the Connor McDavid GOAT conversation on hold after a second straight Stanley Cup Final loss, if there’s any part of him that believes McDavid won’t sign an extension in Edmonton, how close the Oilers actually are to winning it all, and if there’s any reason to believe the Panthers won’t win the Stanley Cup for a third Année droite la saison prochaine.

I recall the much overhyped player being heralded due to his speed performance an NHL All-Star event, yet speed hasn't worked for "the best player in the world". 2 SC Finals where McDacid was exposed as McFraude. C
Hayes is a fool the goaltending in Edmonton sucks the life out of the team every year since roloson left got to be,a major concern for the team come playoff time, knowing that skinner is going to be at an 885
This clown just got finished saying that Sidney Crosby is better than Conner MacDavid and then 20 seconds later says that MacDavid is the best player playing in the NHL right now.
LET McDavid go he,s a bad team captain bad motivator . He cannot motivate his teammates . He,s a spoiled brat!
Put him in an American team he’ll win lol
He doesn’t “deserve” a damn thing
Go earn it
Jay you don't have a clue what you're saying you said he's no that great Then said he isn't.dah.
Main eason is that if He want's to win the cup, He has to chiange team. Second is that Oilers can't afford Him if they want to build winning team
Only will win if he goes to the States. Bettman has tilted all wins to USA! Reffing showed that! Can’t compare eighties to now. McD was tripped, held, etc. – no penalty. Gretzky was surrounded by a supportive team. Oilers has too many passengers. NHL is an entirely different format now. There is no comparison.
That's all that came out for the celebration?
The pork chop method reminds me of how you make chinese bbq cha sui. Usually with that you marinade it, then roast it low in the oven, then glaze with a mix of the marinade and honey + maltose
Perhaps he should make a move to South Florida and join the Panthers organization which is aggressive winners.
I think Mcdavid should think about Detroit as a home and team
Poor guy
McDavid was on the ice for so many of the Florida goals and received a lot of minuses but all you hear is that he deserves the cup because he is the greatest player in the world. What a load of horse poop. He has to earn it just like everyone else by being on the BEST TEAM that wins 16 games!
The oil don't need no MacDavid, trade his ass and have some depth while in his prime.
you guys continue to stick to the script of the NHL and it's pathetic. Time to call a spade a spade – a Canadian team is not going to win a cup while Bettman is the commissioner. He will rig it to no end to make sure of that, it will always be an American team. Watch – Alberta becomes the 51st state and both Alberta teams will consistently be in the playoffs and Edmonton will be hoisting the cup in no time!
Fatigue across seasons is not a thing. The media needs to stop with that. Tampa didn't become tired. They lost a bunch of depth both up front and on their blueline and Vasilevsky was underperforming largely due to some bad choices made by their management.
If I was Mcdavid
I would google ''Top 5 goalie in Nhl''
And signed with one of these 5 teams
He only need a good goalie, he will take care of the offense
What a clown
Losing Hyman cost them the cup
Yeah because it's not like one of their top guns missed the entire series or anything like that
Or a couple other guys played with significant undisclosed injuries
Pfft
Wow look at all those fans 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Kinda harsh on McDavid. Florida smothered him.
Crosby wasn't even the best player on his team for any of his cup runs
Lemieux is the greatest of all time and it's not even close.
I know this is entertainment first and analysis second, but I wish just once someone would push back against irrational argument. You cannot say “in order to be the greatest of all time *AS A PLAYER*, you have to win [the team championship]. […] I understand it’s a team sport.”
Which is it? If you put Gretzky on a team with literal toddlers and he loses every year, would he be any worse of a player? There’s no coherent argument, just feelings. We’d save time if folks stopped pretending it’s anything else.
You guys have become just like all the other tabloid trash online news channels. No facts , no sources , just wild speculation and and imagination. Laughable
Bowman had a Team favoured by many to win Now and decided that a Goaltending tandem worth 4M combined was capable of competing with the likes of Bobrovsky (10M), Vasilevskiy (9.5M), Lindgren (9M), Oettinger (8.25M), Shesterkin (10.5M)…..?
obviously too young to remember 1987. Yes Gretzky and us were crying when he was sold like a piece of meat to Los Angeles
As an Edmontonian I can say that the arena and fans are great but the city itself is trash. Wouldn't blame him one bit for leaving for somewhere nicer.
Senseless babble…. boring discussion….talk about where marner is signing for the 300 time….
Getting rid of Leon for 3 or 4 solid players is what has to be done…. signing Bowman as GM was a big mistake.
Referees stunk, no hit rule sucked ,Like Don Cherry's said too They will ruin hockey Cherry should take Bittmens job.
Yes Jay I totally agree.
Jay are they not allowing hitting anymore, we both know when a team like Florida take control I was taught to start hitting them It's like Oers cant hit
Oilers mgm't are blind. Can't see that the team needs a elite goaltender. Stu Skinner doesn't cut it. Should've shelled out more $$$ for elite goalie instead of skaters.
