Friedman Attempts to Pry Information from McDavid
In the latest written edition of 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman shared an anecdote in which he attempted to gather more details about Connor McDavid's injury.

One guess who placed it there."
The Oilers' captain wasn't fooled by Friedman and didn't share any additional information.
