There the Edmonton Oilers captain is, though, in a trailer promoting an upcoming documentary series airing next month on Amazon Prime, yelling at the top of his lungs following the team's loss in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final to the Florida Panthers.
“That’s not good enough! It's the finals! Dig in right now!"
It's a jarring side of the usually composed and reserved superstar rarely if ever seen by the masses. It was on display for about eight seconds of the two-minute preview of 'Faceoff: Inside The NHL' that came out Monday.
Amazon, in a Monday media release, promises the six-episode series will give viewers "unprecedented access to the National Hockey League’s biggest teams and most compelling characters."
Episodes 5 and 6 feature McDavid, with teammates Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman in the spotlight in the fifth installment and Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk also in focus in the final show. The episodes are titled Cup Or Bust parts 1 and 2, and follow the players over June's Stanley Cup Final.
McDavid told media Monday following the Oilers' preseason loss to the visiting Calgary Flames the series will show the Oilers "at our most vulnerable."
