McDavid, Oilers can make history in Game 7 vs. Panthers
CTV
“You’re not sure you’re ever going to get that opportunity,” Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid said Sunday, the day before he and his team play the Florida Panthers in the decisive Game 7 for the Stanley Cup. “Here we are with that opportunity.”
Connor McDavid admired and looked up to Sidney Crosby as the kind of player he wanted to become one day.
But when McDavid was pretending as a kid to score the goal to win the Stanley Cup, he always imagined himself being in that position.
“You’re not sure you’re ever going to get that opportunity,” McDavid said. “Here we are with that opportunity.”
That opportunity is only possible after McDavid led the Edmonton Oilers back from a 3-0 deficit in the final to set up Game 7 against the Florida Panthers on Monday night with hockey's hallowed trophy at stake.
He and his teammates are now on the verge of completing one of the biggest comebacks in sports history, attempting to block out the ramifications to focus on accomplishing something not done in the NHL since 1942.
“It’s not your ordinary game, everybody understands that, but you’ve got to make it as ordinary as possible in your head,” McDavid said after practice Sunday, the Oilers' final one of the season.
