Connor McDavid.. the leader
In the past few seasons, Connor McDavid has led the Edmonton Oilers into multiple playoff berths. His leadership was put on display, after Vincent Desharnais came up to him, ashamed.
In a playoff game against the Los Angeles Kings, Vincent Desharnais made a mistake.
Desharnais received a minus on the ice for giving up the goal.
McDavid, however, has been incredibly determined lately, so that didn't bother him.
As McDavid told Desharnais:
«We all got minus one, and obviously, like I know his stats, and so after the game I went to see him. I'm like, �Hey man, like, sorry. That was a bad pass on me. Dash one is on me. I'm sorry, dude.' And he turned around. He looked at me and he was, like, �Dude, I don't care about the stats. I just want to f*ckin win.' It was not like staged. He legit turned and, �Listen, I just want to f*ckin' win.' And I'm like, �All right, got it, Captain.' I was like, that's awesome, that's what I want to hear. I was so fired up. I was like, �Dude, you tell me that right now, that's awesome.' And like people always tell me, �Oh, Connor is points.' But when playoffs show up, you better show up, because he's going to war. He's showed me that he's he's not just a skill guy, he's not a point guy, he's a player. He's a hockey player.»
It has been stated again that McDavid wants a "Cup or Bust" this season and will accept nothing less.
Edmonton Oilers lost in the 2nd round to the Vegas Golden Knights while they are still in their window of contention.
During 2023, the Edmonton Oilers had the best goals total and power play in the NHL. They will look to replicate this and keep the winning standard once again.
