Connor McDavid. If you’re a hockey fan, you know who he is. Undoubtedly the best player in the league. His speed, shot, and playmaking ability all wow fans on a nightly basis. When McDavid is on the ice, fans, teammates, and staff all take a deep breath, because they never know what kind of magic the young Oilers captain will pull out of his bag of tricks.
The Oilers got eliminated early in the playoffs last season, much earlier than any hockey fan would’ve expected, by the Jets in 4 straight.
