This all started when sports journalist Mark Spector, asked Connor McDavid if he would rather the team try to win games 4-1 rather than 7-5 after the Edmonton Oilers lost 5-3 to the Florida Panthers, continuing this terrible slump from the team.
Spector didn't take too kindly to this response and actually reached out to Peel via text. Peel, shockingly, posted the text conversation between them online on X for everyone to see.
