Connor McDavid is a huge NHL star.
Well, burgeoning. He’s just 20 years old but could be the MVP this season. And his Edmonton Oilers are back in the playoffs after a decade-long absence!
So naturally, fans want pictures with him. It seems like McDavid doesn’t:
My best friend's parents, Jimmy & Rosalina, met @cmcdavid97 at @FlyEIA today. Possibly the best/most awkward photo of all time? #NHL #oilers pic.twitter.com/yeDUPydWDd

One can imagine how this played out:
Jimmy: “Can you take a picture with my wife and me?”
Connor, smiling: “Sure!”
Jimmy: “Great!”
[Jimmy & Rosalina swiftly obliterate Connor’s personal bubble]

Iconic.
When Edmonton makes a statue of McDavid one day, please let it be of this moment.
