Following the game, Connor McDavid and his fiancée made a trip to a nearby Edmonton supermarket to restock on wine in preparation for a celebration. The two ran into some Oilers supporters as they were leaving. Regretfully, it was evident that the group struggled with boundaries and had a very uncomfortable time.
As seen in the video, one fan tries to perch on Connor's car before putting down his phone, and another asks the celebrity for an awkward embrace.
This video serves as the ideal illustration of how not to communicate with a professional athlete. especially when they're spending time with their close friends and family. This is just the most embarrassing fan encounter in McDavid's history because he never says anything to the fans.
In the event that the Oilers win the Cup, McDavid can anticipate even more exchanges of this nature.
