Connor McDavid calls out the Calgary Flames
During the NHL Awards ceremonies, it's rare to hear anything other than professional soundbites from players.
However, Connor McDavid decided to break the mold and speak his mind. While he didn't cross any lines, he certainly didn't hold back, calling out the Calgary Flames fans, who no doubt love to hate McDavid.
"Even you Flames fans." 🤭
When accepting the Hart Trophy, McDavid gave thanks to the Oilers team, ownership, and fans.
He also gave a special shoutout to the Calgary Flames fans, who are known for their passionate rivalry with the Oilers, no doubt looking to get them rolling in the salt they stew in.
The Battle of Alberta has been a thrilling rivalry for years, and McDavid seems determined to keep the excitement going even during the off-season.
His recent comment was a bit backhanded, but also quite humorous.
