'Please re-sign': Connor McDavid's birthday post for wife and dog hijacked by fans begging him to stay—or leave Edmonton
Connor McDavid's birthday post to his wife and dog ignited a frenzy among NHL fans (Getty Images) As speculation mounts over where Connor McDavid might land after his current contract, the Edmonton Oilers captain attempted to take a rare step away from hockey talk. But even a simple birthday message to his wife, Lauren Kyle, and their dog, Lenny, turned into a full-on fan campaign urging him to stay—or leave—for good. Fans hijack birthday post with emotional pleas and team pitches The NHL superstar Connor McDavid shared a personal post on Instagram wishing both his wife, Lauren Kyle and their beloved Bernedoodle a happy birthday. 'Happy Birthday Laur! You too Lenny, love you both so much,' McDavid wrote, alongside intimate photos of the couple and their pet. But what was meant to be a quiet moment of off-season affection quickly turned into a sounding board for fans desperate to know what McDavid's next move will be. Connor McDavid flooded with comments about his future with the Oilers (Image via IG) In the comments section of McDavid's post, fans from across the NHL flooded in—not just to send well wishes but to plead their case for McDavid's future. 'Please re-sign, McDavid. Job's not finished,' one Oilers fan @dapperdondharshi wrote, capturing the mood of a city still reeling from another near-miss in their Stanley Cup dreams. Others took a bolder approach. 'Toronto has a home for you,' posted a hopeful Maple Leafs supporter @ while another @dluk24 claimed, 'YOU are a Chicago Blackhawk,' in an open call for the generational talent to head to the Windy City. Connor McDavid puts family first while weighing NHL future Just days before the post, McDavid told media that any decision about his future would heavily involve his family. 'Ultimately, still need to do what's best for me and my family,' he said during his end-of-season availability. While Lauren Kyle also posted a birthday message to their dog Lenny, complete with a collage and a golf course photo featuring a heart next to McDavid, fans saw it as more than just personal—perhaps even a subtle signal.
