The media and the fans comparing McDavid to Matthews like it matters is really annoying. McDavid is only worrying about being the captain of the Oilers and winning hockey games
there could have been a point to that question, like "does seeing other people do that increase your drive to be more competitive?" or another question along those lines but the way it was asked, the guy was essentially asking if he was a fan of Matthews or something lol
Matthews isn't in the same stratosphere as McDavid.. anyone who would take Matthews of McDavid is either, blind, dumb, or a leaf fan.. and sometimes those last two things go hand in hand..
The guy asking Reinhart about his despicable LACK of a back check, was actually a valid question. Probably the only legitimate question in this montage.
@@DeltaHighlights Meh. I don’t have a problem with him pressing the issue. Reinhart was clearly embarrassed and trying to avoid the topic. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for the media to try to hold a guy accountable.

What happened to that interview with patty kane where the reporter asked if his goal that night was his first Overtime game winner (the interview happened around 2012ish, well after he scored a Stanley cup winning overtime goal)
The Sam Reinhart question wasn't a dumb question, he did give up on that backcheck. If he didn't, he would have just said "no, I tried my best there" but instead he got all offended, and didn't know what to say - what everyone will do when they're caught like that.
You should do a part two. I can think of such a dumb interview with Koskinen before this season started. This one reporter for the oilers is just such a jerk sometimes Edit- if you need me to link the video I’m talking about I can
@@DeltaHighlights th-cam.com/video/Z5O8FhOdyww/w-d-xo.html There you go. This one interviewer is just such an idiot, and it’s not just this interview that he’s like this, this is just the worst one I’ve seen.
@steven cooke How would you feel if someone compares you to another person, it's kinda like saying " be more like you're brother or sister," that's what that sounds like, it's not respectful
My first thought when “setting up the play” lady started talking is that she was just a fill-in reporter and didn’t know hockey. Then I thought maybe English wasn’t her first language. By the end I was convinced some alien parasite had just taken over her body and this was their first attempt at interacting with another human.
That's just a typical Canadian gatekeeper. They pull that shit with American players as well. They think it's impressive that they produce good hockey players when that's the only legitimate sport they have. If they lose to America in 2026 it will be devastating to them.
@@politicalbandwagon4989 That question didn't come out of nowhere. He's just echoing the comical Canadian mentality when it comes to hockey. No, it will be devastating because the gap is closing and Bettman doesn't even promote the game at all in America. Imagine if he did. Bill Foley just said just said there was only 500 kids in Vegas playing hockey when he got there. How pathetic is that? But we have to constantly hear about how Bettman is conspiring against Canada lol.
@@mr.brenman2132 The gap is closing? Who won three of the last 4 world juniors or the last 3 best on best tournaments? Canada. The U.S hasn’t won an Olympic gold since 1980. Dustin Brown is currently the only American nhl captain to hoist the Stanley cup. The USA is barely top 5 hockey countries in the world. I’d say they’re tied with Sweden at 4 or 5. Also, how does Bettman not promote the game in the US? Florida has two hockey teams, California has three and even Nevada and Arizona have teams. He’s doing more than enough to spread hockey to the US. Your comment is especially stupid since Petterson plays for a Canadian team and is beloved by the fans. Those same fans who loved other Swedes like the Sedins and Naslund. No one cares that they’re not Canadian.
@@politicalbandwagon4989 Thanks for proving every point I've made so far. You could be a reporter in the video. There is a chance Canada would have lost in 2022 if NHL players played. Canada barely won in 2010 despite having a massive talent advantage. The number of Canadian players has decreased since then and American talent has increased substantially. 4 or 5 😆🤣. Yeah, it was the "Golden Goal" because Canada beat the fifth best team. Give me a fucking break. Who were the point leaders on the two finalists this year? Eichel should have won the Conn Smythe. Here you come with the archaic nonsensical canuck cope. American players can't lead right? Is that what you're implying? Yeah, the 2009 Penguins won the cup because a 22 year old Sidney Crosby was the Captain 😆🤣. It wasn't because the more experienced and physical Malkin scored 36 points and won the Conn Smythe. Phil Kessel outscored Crosby in the 2016 playoffs because of Crosby? Patrick Kane couldn't have scored that Cup winning goal without Jonathan Toews leadership lol. Everyone knows he was the generational player that carried the Blackhawks dynasty🤣😆. His leadership mattered so much that the Blackhawks won 3 cups in 5 years while he basically ignored one of his teammates being sexually assaulted by a video coordinator. You're making solid points here 🤦♂️. Collecting expansion fee's isn't spreading the game. The Athletic just cut their Hockey division because hockey is isolated to cities that have teams. That shows you how well Bettman has marketed the game. Snoop Dog and now Dana White have come out and said that the NHL is horrible at marketing. McDavid is the best player in the NHL and no one outside of Canada knows who he is. If the NFL, MLB, and NBA didn't exist America would dwarf Canada in Hockey. It's a matter of population size. Hockey is all Canada has.
It's not because the answer is obvious so its not worth his time to even acknowledge it. it's basically the same as the Draisaitl one and i think sarcasm and refusal are both defferent yet appropriate ways of handling such dumb questions
I thought someone was gonna make a video completion after Matthews response to being asked if he wanted to score or it felt good to score the OT winner after he missed a breakaway earlier😂
All the questions are predictably dumb, and so are 99% of the predictable answers. Player and coach interviews are only worth watching when shit gets fucked up, so thanks for this compilation.
You missed Kevin Kurz asking Sharks HC Peter DeBoer and Captain Joe Pavelski if the Drake concert the team went to the night before is why they lost a game
Draisaitl's "No we love that" comment was honestly hilarious
But honestly, how fucking stupid can the media be sometimes
@@nol2521 exactly, what did they think he was gonna say?
Seriously they keep these guys for 30 min after the game just to ask such r*tarded sh*t
The reporter sounded drunk in that first question
He probably was. Imagine if that was your job, annoying athletes who just lost games via Skype. It's barely a step up from paparazzi.
setting up the play
I think he was. He doesn't watch the games, he just reports on the results
Definitely was. He was fired from the Denver Post for substance abuse issues and acting creepy. His name is Adrian Dater
