It doesn't matter who you put together.

If you move them out for Connor McDavid, you end up losing that thing.

So he's still just number one with a bullet.

He's still the guy that you wanted with the puck on his stick, like in any big spot.

And I think that he did choke a little in that game, if you want to have that conversation.

Like in three-on-three, he tried to make a play that was like, this is the Edmonton Oilers facing the Vegas Golden Knights in the midst of the regular season.

That should have been your advantage.

100%.

In terms of the tweet, Dave, you know me, so you knew what I was going for, which is I'm trying to joke around.

Of course, Americans, we're going to celebrate that.

Like, duh.

The idea that you wouldn't celebrate a win is crazy.

I wrote that tweet sitting in the back of an Uber with my best friend laughing about the most crybaby things that we could say.

It is a crybaby tweet.

It's 100% that.

It's me being salty.

It's me trolling 100%.

When Dave Portnoy starts retweeting it and I'm getting called out on part of my take, I'm happy.

Who wins?

Well, here's the thing is you do a troll like that because you want a kernel of it to be true, which is most people that were celebrating that game south of the border don't watch hockey like they tuned in for just this hockey game.
