The Captain Calls out Management

Although Connor McDavid led the Edmonton Oilers to the 2nd round of the Western Conference playoffs this season, his expectations were not fully met. McDavid, along with his teammate Leon Draisailt, have their sights on winning the coveted Stanley Cup.

While Ken Holland has constructed a decent team, there are evident weaknesses that need to be addressed.

McDavid expressed his frustration and called for Holland to prioritize winning the cup, stating that it's "cup or bust for this group."

As a respected leader in the locker room, McDavid's sentiments echo the team's desire to overcome their roadblock of reaching the 2nd round.

Holland must now reevaluate the team's strategy and address the areas that need improvement.

Fans passionately support the Oilers and agree with McDavid's assessment that the team is overdue for a cup.
