Huge statement regarding Connor McDavid and it could be historic
Even though they have two of the best players in the league on their roster, the Edmonton Oilers can't seem to make a significant run in the playoffs. Much like the Toronto Maple Leafs, they struggle to meet the expectations of their fan base.
After winning their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings in 6 games, the Oilers met the eventual Stanley Cup champions in the second round. As you can guess, they packed up after 6 games.
In a recent appearance on the Sans Restriction podcast, the Oilers' towering defenseman, Vincent Desharnais, recounted what happened in the locker room following their elimination. According to him, the team's captain, Connor McDavid, was in a state that the Quebecer had never seen before. The mega-star's frustration was at its peak!
Desharnais also issued a warning to everyone: we are not ready for what's coming for Connor McDavid next season because he will be so motivated to win the coveted Trophy.
Here's what he had to say:
McDavid, coming off a season with 64 goals and 89 assists for a total of 153 points, could therefore be even better. The opposing teams better watch out!
If he surpasses his 2022-23 season harvest again, it could be historic for the NHL and for our generation!
