Nikki Glaser takes a shot at Oilers and Evander Kane looks pissed!
This happened last night at the 2024 ESPY Awards:
Last night, the 2024 ESPY Awards took place and comedian Nikki Glaser was one of the hosts of the night. The woman is hilarious, which played a part in her taking aim at Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid as she presented the award for best male athlete.
In her speech to present the nominees, Glaser targeted the Oilers, defeated by the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, joking that it must have stung for McDavid to lose to a team playing near the beach.
“For now the only Stanley Cup Connor [McDavid] will get to hold will be the one his wife asks him to grab out of the cabinet,” she joked.
When she made the call on the Oilers and McDavid, the camera immediately shifted to forward Evander Kane, who was attending the event, and you can tell by the look on his face that he did not enjoy and was not impressed by Glaser’s joke.
Mahomes ended up winning the award over McDavid, but Chiefs coach Andy Reid accepted on his behalf.
And Kane probably pouted the rest of the night that a woman made his team look foolish.
