In recent seasons, Connor McDavid has been the driving force behind the Edmonton Oilers' playoff appearances, showcasing his leadership abilities. One such display of leadership occurred when Vincent Desharnais approached him feeling remorseful.

During a crucial playoff game against the Los Angeles Kings, Desharnais made a costly mistake, resulting in a minus on his stat sheet. However, McDavid's unwavering determination overshadowed any statistical concerns.

McDavid approached Desharnais and took responsibility for the error, saying,

"Hey man, sorry about that bad pass. The minus one is on me." In response, Desharnais emphasized his priority, saying, "I don't care about stats; I just want to win."
This genuine exchange fueled McDavid's determination.

McDavid has made it clear that his goal for this season is "Cup or Bust." Despite their recent second-round playoff exit, the Oilers are still contenders. In 2023, they boasted the NHL's highest goal total and the most effective power play, aiming to maintain their winning standards.
