After yesterday’s 7-3 drubbing of the Oilers, Edmonton captain Connor McDavid had this to say about the 2024-25 Capitals:
“They come at you in waves, wave after wave. They’ve got four lines and six [defensemen], and they just roll them. They’re an impressive group; obviously they’re having a great year. Is there a way to play against that? Push back, I don’t know. It was just not good.”
Ovechkin, Caps Overwhelm Oilers, 7-3
If Connor sounds a wee bit frustrated after that game, it’s because he probably was, thanks to spending most of his even-strength time going head to head with one Pierre-Luc Dubois…and losing.
