All eyes are on the Oilers and Connor McDavid in the NHL playoffs this season, and one lighthearted moment was captured in the locker room with the equipment manager.
Last playoffs, the very famous «Dig In» video of McDavid in the locker room. This moment is much more light hearted, although McDavid is once again slightly frustrated.
Connor McDavid snaps in locker room about wet gloves, trainer rushes in to help
In the short video posted by the NHL, McDavid can be heard in the locker room calling out the equipment trainer Brad Harrison for failing to dry his gloves.
MCDAVID: Thanks Harry, my gloves are soaked.
HARRISON: You want them on the glove dryer? He didn't give them to me. Why is he mad at me? He didn't give them to me.
HARRISON: You want them on the glove dryer? He didn't give them to me. Why is he mad at me? He didn't give them to me.
The video even continues to follow Harrison on the Oilers bench during play. The Oilers equipment manager still was able to grab McDavid's gloves and dry them during play, and get them back to the captain for his next shift. Harrison literally has to run each way to rush the job.
In the end, McDavid flashes a chuckle toward Harrison as he's frantically running around finishing his tasks.
McDavid's tense moment shows importance of equipment managers
Although it was an overall tense moment, Harrison's personality with the players and work ethic shines through in the video.
Having a glove dryer isn't something any player sees in a beer league, but at the highest level for these athletes like McDavid, every difference for comfort can be a meaningful one. Harrison takes his job incredibly seriously, and provides an essential task to the team. Hats off to him.
