A new video has emerged of Connor McDavid screaming at his teammates in the locker room during the Stanley Cup Final.

Amazon is releasing an upcoming series of behind the scenes NHL footage, and one clip in the trailer showed Connor McDavid reaming out his teammates asking for more at a massive moment. Take a look.

MCDAVID: «That's not good enough. It's the Finals! Dig in! Right now!»

It's a direct look into an incredibly tense moment in the Cup Final. The time of which this yelling speech came from McDavid isn't clear yet, but this seems the exact type of energy they could have had heading into the third period of Game 7. McDavid's yelling at the team, but it's all in the goal of motivation and drawing on passion to win the game.

Here's a look at the full trailer for the television series titled Faceoff: Inside the NHL. Seeing this level of Bennie the scenes content is borderline shocking, and great entertainment.

McDavid's performance on the ice warranted this level of screaming in the locker room. McDavid scored an insane 42 points in 25 playoff games and broke Wayne Gretzky's record for most playoff assists. However, he was held pointless in the last two games, and despite his impassioned screaming, and the Florida Panthers lifted the Stanley Cup.

McDavid always has a way of responding to criticism by elevating his game through his career. After being so close to the first Cup win, and clearly after hearing this speech, everyone knows that McDavid and the Oilers are locked in for the upcoming season. Nothing else matters but the Stanley Cup.

Connor McDavid will make his preseason debut this season tonight at home against the Calgary Flames. The game will be broadcasted on Oilers+ behind a paywall, or on the Calgary Flames website for free. It's another long campaign back to playoff hockey, and the Oilers are back and ready for the task.
