I was in this tournament last year and I was out almost immediately because I was just whatever,

playing slowly and then you just bled out, you know, and then I just said I'm going all in

and a couple guys called, which was fun, and I ended up winning the hand. So everyone was called

me a sandbagger, but I swear I don't.

Don't play.

I don't play poker.

The headline of this podcast will be Connor McDavid, sandbagger.

Yeah, sandbagger.

Gambler.

Yeah.

No.

Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by GMC. What's going on? It's Wednesday. They said they weren't going to be back until Friday. What happened? Well, Elliot and I got a chance to spend the day Tuesday in Edmonton at Oilers Media Day doing a few more interviews, similar to what we were doing last week in Vegas. Among them,

Leon Drysidl and Connor McDavid. And given the fact that 97 remains one of the biggest stories

going in hockey right now, as everyone's wondering what he's thinking and what the future holds

for the Oilers captain and the Oilers themselves. We thought, why wait? Let's get these

interviews out to you now while they're hot and ready and fresh off the recording table.

So no preamble, no nonsense. Let's get to them right here. We'll begin with the oilers captain

and Leon Drysidal on 32 thoughts.

So, Connor, I first wanted to ask you, what's the bigger adrenaline rush?

The walk from the dress room to the ice at Rogers for a playoff game or the walkout with Morgan Wallen today.

I got to go with the playoffs, but the walkout with Morgan was pretty special.

Yeah, I mean, it's a different type of energy.
