from the CP at CTV,
Connor McDavid is at odds with Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin.
McDavid's Oilers sat comfortably in a playoff spot when the NHL suspended its season earlier this month due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but unlike his contemporaries, Edmonton's captain thinks going right into the playoffs if the league gets the all-clear to resume would be a mistake.
Speaking on a video conference call Friday, McDavid said “a full season's a fair season” when asked how he'd like to see things play out.
And if the NHL has to shorten proceedings, the 23-year-old superstar says teams would need at least a few games to find a rhythm.
Crosby and Ovechkin said in separate video conferences Thursday they wouldn't mind if the league went right into the playoffs.
