McLellan tells McDavid hecklers to 'look in the mirror'

Todd McLellan is sticking up for Connor McDavid and questioning the actions of some unruly individuals who heckled the Edmonton Oilers captain.

Here's how the head coach responded when asked about a viral video originally posted to Reddit and later shared by TSN's BarDown, which showed several fans giving McDavid a hard time outside a restaurant while he was with his family.

"I haven't seen it, but he would be the last one I would heckle if I (were) a fan," McLellan told reporters Monday, via CTV Edmonton's Adam Cook. "He gives the community everything he has, and I'm not just talking about on-ice (contributions)."

McLellan cited McDavid's frequent charity work and said the hecklers should consider how their own actions make them look.

"I often sit in the lunchroom and I ask him, 'What are you guys doing today?', and about every second day, Connor says, 'I'm going to a hospital, I've got to go see these kids, I'm going to go do that, so the individuals that choose to heckle him (need to) look in the mirror."

McDavid declined to comment on the matter Monday.

"Honestly, it's so not a big deal, I'm not even going to say anything on it," the Oilers superstar told reporters, via TSN. "This weekend I had my parents in town, so it was nice to have them around and show them around Edmonton. They've been here a few times now, but I haven't seen them in a while ... so I definitely was missing them and (was) happy to have them in town for a bit."
