Connor McDavid sends legendary message to Oilers fans and rest of NHL
The Oilers may have played their weakest game of the series so far, but Connor McDavid was a big reason they walked away with a 6-1 win. The Oilers captain buried his chances with 2 goals, and then declared Edmonton the best hockey city in the world.
There's not a better rink in the NHL. It's so special to play here. These fans, come playoff time, bring the energy. It's such a fun building to play in.
- Connor McDavid
There's some truly great hockey markets out there, and some truly passionate fanbases, especially in Canadian markets.
What makes Edmonton so special is their fans going absolutely wild for the team at all times, never expecting to lose, and always ready for greatness. It creates such a hostile environment for the opponent.
Also, it can be seen as a direct shot to the delusional Toronto fans that think McDavid will sign with the Leafs after next season.
The Oilers captain clearly loves playing in Edmonton for every reason - the winning culture, elite teammates, his family putting down roots, and the rabid fans of Oil Country.
