The Edmonton Oilers are headed for a rematch with the Florida Panthers in the Cup Final, and McDavid is sending a message that they haven't seen the Oilers' best yet.
McDavid was shutting down the Oilers doubters harshly at the beginning of this year's playoffs, as they were underdogs in every playoff series so far - the Captain knows they have a championship level team.
Connor McDavid tells Florida Panthers that the Oilers haven't peaked yet
Speaking after the Western Conference Finals, McDavid said that the Oilers still haven't found their best game yet. With only one team left, it's a direct message to the Florida Panthers.
We've been building, and building, and building our game and I think we're starting to see some of our best hockey. I thought tonight, not so much. Our best hockey is still in front of us, which is a great thing.
- Connor McDavid
For the Florida Panthers, this has to be a terrifying quote from Connor McDavid. The Edmonton Oilers are currently on a 12-2 run in the playoffs, absolutely dominating three quality teams so far.
Taking care of Dallas and Vegas in ten games combined, two real Cup contenders, shows the nearly absurd domination of Edmonton. They haven't even had to sweat elimination yet. If the Edmonton Oilers could get any better, they'd basically be undefeated.
Not only that, but McDavid has really been leading the Oilers as they build over the course of the playoffs. McDavid said the same thing following their Vegas series, slaying their playoff rival from a few year prior.
The group's feeling confident but I think our best is still coming. We're just building & building our game.
- Connor McDavid
The Oilers total dedication to keep improving their game already at the heights of the hockey world is truly a marvel. This is a special group of intensely motivated players, ready to capture their first Cup in the McDavid era.
