It may not be your idea of fun, but Winnipeg Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey could hardly contain his excitement at getting to chase Connor McDavid all over the ice Thursday night in Edmonton.
Morrissey, along with defence partner Jacob Trouba, weren’t exactly being eased into the pre-season by getting matched up against McDavid and a loaded Oilers lineup.
“He’s probably the fastest guy in the world. So, I guess you may as well hop into it right off the bat with probably the toughest guy to play against,” Morrissey said following the pre-game skate in Winnipeg.
