Edmonton Oilers superstar forward Connor McDavid is embracing his team's role as the underdog after falling behind 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.

Speaking to reporters Monday night following Edmonton's 4-1 loss to Florida in Game 2, McDavid said he is "looking forward to people doubting us again."

While the Oilers are making their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 2006, the Panthers are in the SCF for a second consecutive year and are now two wins away from the first Stanley Cup win in franchise history.
