Morning Skate: Connor McDavid offers a rebuttal to our Sidney Crosby praise
Apparently he read our newsletter yesterday.
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports
Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
It was only a matter of time until Connor McDavid COMPLETELY MADE MY NEWSLETTER LOOK FOOLISH.

I’m sorry, Overlord Connor. Please spare me.

Having fun?
