Edmonton Oilers fans rip apart Connor McDavid after loss to Vegas - "He is no help"

The Edmonton Oilers were defeated 6-4 by the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday. Leon Draisaitl carried his team until the final buzzer sounded, scoring four goals on the night. The Oilers, however, were unable to mount a comeback and Draisaitl's outstanding performance went in vain. Edmonton Oilers fans were displeased with the performances of the other players and took to Twitter to share their thoughts. Connor McDavid copped most of the criticism.Lakers Fan@ConorOrConnor@EdmontonOilers McDavid actually was trash. Runs into 4 knights trying to get a path into the goal is so laughable. He also made a lot of passes that were straight to knights. Hope he bounce back and let the offense be more balanced@EdmontonOilers McDavid actually was trash.
