Canucks fan dressed as a ketchup bottle hilariously taunts Connor McDavid
Last night's game against the Vancouver Canucks presented a few intriguing storylines, but the best one is by far from this Canucks fan dressed as a ketchup bottle taunting Connor McDavid before the game.
A few months ago, Amazon launched their FACEOFF series, giving fans an inside look into the personal lives of their favourite stars.
According to the Daily Hive, Connor McDavid might be the most talented star in the NHL, but the Edmonton Oilers captain does apparently have a kryptonite.
And no, it's not a specific team or a player, but in fact one of the most commonly used condiments in the world - ketchup.
Canucks fan dressed as ketchup bottle taunts Connor McDavid
During warm-ups, this courageous Canucks fan tried to take full advantage of McDavid's irrational fear.
Dressed as a ketchup bottle, this Canucks fan made his presence felt by tapping on the glass trying to get McDavid's attention.
Although he probably went unnoticed, I give full marks to this Canucks fan for thinking outside the box - quite frankly, this is hilarious.
McDavid explained that the quirky fear is more of a phobia with ketchup that he shares with his brother Cameron.
This phobia goes well back into his youth and never has really thought about it until it was revealed a few months ago after the airing of new Amazon Prime series FaceOff: Inside The NHL.
«The ketchup thing is a funny thing. My brother and I, we both grew up that way. It's more of a phobia,» McDavid said.
«I wish I could tell you more about it. I don't know why it is that way, it's just something that, you know, never got into with, you know, my brother and I, and it's kind of stuck as more of a phobia.»
Well, it appears this Canucks fan's tactics worked at the Oilers were defeated by a score of 3-2.
