We all watched the locker room footage from last year’s Cup Final.
We all know how much this means to McDavid.
All this guy wants to do is win in the playoffs.
He knows that regular season success doesn’t mean shit anymore.
So here they are.
The actual season is finally here for Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.
It was 4-0 before McDavid even had a chance to recover from the Harmonica Anthem.
The harmonicas were buzzing.
Edmonton was getting their shit shoved in and their dicks blown off.
Someone would have come out onto the ice for the 3rd period with their eyes pounded shut.
But just like always, McDavid and Draisaitl put the team on their back and started going to work.
Granted, those two guys are paid to do that.
They’re superstar players with superstar bank accounts.
But just look at what Washington has been able to do.
They surrounded a 39-year-old Alex Ovechkin with scrap parts that all magically came together to work.
Chychrun, Strome, Dubois.
McDavid somehow still needs to do all this shit on his own.
So he has the primary assist on the Draisaitl goal to make it 1-4.
He has the primary assist on the Corey Perry goal to make it 3-5.
He has the primary assist on the Zach Hyman goal to make it 4-5.
4 points on the night.
3 primary assists and the game tying goal.
Might as well have just lost 7-0 at that point and saved the energy for game 2.
Looks like he’s going to need at least 50 this year.
– 4 games in the playoffs last night.
All 4 of them were 1-goal games, and 2 of them went to overtime.
Here are the other 3 game winners for your viewing pleasure.
Caps take a 1-0 series lead after somehow Ovi just scored the first playoff overtime goal of his career.
