Supernatural? A generational talent? God’s gift to the game of hockey?
We’re running out of ways to describe Connor McDavid.
On Friday night, the Oilers superstar stunned fans — and even himself — with one of the prettiest goals in recent memory.
With the clock winding down late in third period and his team trailing 5-4, McDavid undressed not one, not two, not three, but four New York Rangers before tucking the puck past a hapless Alexandar Georgiev. The Oilers would go on to defeat the Rangers in overtime, improving their record to a Western Conference best 9-1.
Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse was also impressed. “He’ll downplay it,” he told reporters after the game. “ But that was … probably the nicest goal I’ve ever seen.”
