Connor McDavid Throws Shade at John Tortorella

Looks like Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers was made aware of ESPN hockey analyst John Tortorella's comments about his game. The Oilers star threw some shade in a great response on Thursday.

McDavid was asked about not drawing enough penalties this season and had this to say about the lack of calls:

I guess I just gotta shut up about this

"I guess I just gotta shut up about this."

ICYMI: Tortorella who used to coach in the league and is now on television because no NHL team feels he's capable of coaching their team, decided to go on national television and tell McDavid to shut up and play. Torts went on to say McDavid needs to change his game and won't ever win in the Stanley Cup Playoffs if he doesn't.

Meanwhile, let's take a look at what the hockey world had to say to Torts after his bizarre comments about the best player on the planet:
