Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener - The Beginning Of The End… Connor McDavid Is OUT (Edmonton’s Worst Nightmare) | BB Clips

Starting point is 00:00:00 There's a superstar that we talked about. Who's a year, less than a year away from free agency. He's arguably the greatest player we'll watch in our lives. He's yet to win a cup. But he would never leave. Superstars don't leave spots. This is why he was excited. You don't do that.

Starting point is 00:00:25 You'd never see a guy leave. Oh, there's Wayne as a king and moose with the Oilers. The moose. Is that next year with McDavid and Drysidal? Because they were pals too. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Maybe not.

Starting point is 00:00:42 Maybe Connor stays. Like that great oiler, uh, let's listen to Connor. He's totally staying there. He looks excited. Yeah, totally. Last one for me on this,

Starting point is 00:00:53 Connor is just what do you want to see? Like when I'm sure you've told the oilers, this is important to me. This is what gets me to commit for however long I decide to commit. What is that? Yeah, that's a good question. You know, truth of me, what do I need to see? I guess,

Starting point is 00:01:11 answer is nothing, you know, all the pieces are here for 25, 26. It's going to be a feeling, you know, it's going to be a, you know, when the time's right, the moment's right, I think it'll just be a feeling. But as it right now, just excited to get the season to the season. going really yeah that would be too that's tough interview who does that sound like a guy ready to get the pan out you want it to play three minutes of that for the record no i think we should have because it's one of those things we're just like oh it's so painful poor sap having it's like ricky jervais and it's just slow each each paragraph there's one little takeaway but each takes a minute it's

Starting point is 00:02:05 tough to be honest that but not that uh uh feel i see both sides you got to ask him And he's going to answer. In a sort of delicate way. So you're leaving? You're getting out of here? You're going to ask to be traded? You get a sign? There's that way.

Starting point is 00:02:21 And then there's, I've done these interviews so many times. I'm so sick of talking about this. Yes. I kind of need to watch how I say it because it'll be clickbait and people freak out. Sure well. So nothing. If you're an Oilers fan and you were sure, Leon signed Connor's day and this is a dynasty, like that is not encouraging.

Starting point is 00:02:40 He might still resign there, but. Ask AI to analyze his facial expressions when he's lying. AI's Pete. Mark, I told me that yesterday on the show. We need, we need some, like, get some, they have FBI in Canada? Yeah, we need to really come in and do some. Interrogate that. Mind-weld interrogators.

Starting point is 00:02:57 Like, what do you, what do you see in here? He does keep saying, like, I'm committed to Edmonton 25, 26. What? I was going to say, that's the one thing. He's going to say, 25, 26. We've earned the right. 25, 26, committed to Edmonton. Like, he's not going to ask for trade.

Starting point is 00:03:11 He's an organization. this year. But it does open up the most painful thing on Earth, which would be watching a superstar who might be the best player over to play, leaving for nothing. At what point does he say F off with the interviews? Pretty quick here. I think once the game's still.

Starting point is 00:03:29 Like camp has now started. The PR communication guys are about to earn their dough in Edmonton once the season starts. Yeah. Every city he walks into will be massive scrums. Hey, Carter. I mean, Rasmus Anderson. Distraction, potentially. Yeah, a little.

Starting point is 00:03:47 That? Distraction. Yes. I mean, every, how was practice today? Was practice good? Because it needs to be good. Because everything, 25, 26, I was going to say, because he has brought that up multiple times.

Starting point is 00:04:02 He's got a year. He's committed to the rest of his contract. This year, I'm here, this year. That, and to his credit, he's not saying much more than that, but he's letting it be known. I want to see what this season holds and I'm going to make my decision. Bad start, good start, bad goals, power. All that stuff is going to be so highly scrutinized.

Starting point is 00:04:23 Yes. Because everything, according to him, seems to hinge on this season. Big time. So everything is going to be under the microscope there. And you know what's great? I should have clipped it the other day. I might have said it's Jack in the weekend. We are getting state media reports out of Edmonton that Stuart's

Starting point is 00:04:41 is in the best shape of his life. No. Best shape? He's cut weight. He looks different. He's moving. He's reinvented himself as a late 20-year-old goaltender who probably is best served as a 1B.

Starting point is 00:04:54 Maybe he's a 1-A. Yeah, I read that. Holy! It turns out he was catching with the wrong hand. Oh, shit. Well, he'll be on which side. Yeah. We probably got to change a stick too, so that'll even help his puck handling.

Starting point is 00:05:04 Let's see that, Brad. It's so hot. There it is. You still got it. Oh, those reflexes. I don't want to go too far down that. Oh, God, I'm grateful that there's been many a kiss of death on the best shape of his life in camp reports. That's worse than being on the front of Mad.

Starting point is 00:05:25 Yeah, I think that's a stronger curse, I agree.
