from Gare Joyce of Sportsnet,
It wasn’t the first time that Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel went head to head and it certainly won’t be the last time. That said, unless they decide to race each other in the Tour de France or make the Olympics as decathletes, we won’t see anything like it.
What I’m talking about here, in a very roundabout way, is the NHL combine, certainly one of the weirdest spectacles on the hockey calendar.
I’ve gone to it for 15 years or so and every time I watch it, I say: “I know why they’re here, but why am I?” For entertainment value, it would rank somewhere behind the average beer-league game and an NHL warm-up.
Fact is, you don’t even know what it is you’re watching. Results of the physical testing aren’t posted or announced at the venue. You only know when the final numbers come out, which they did on Monday.
