Connor McDavid's reign as hockey's premier player is marked by a resolute aspiration: turning his prime years into championship glory with the Edmonton Oilers.
As shared by Marc Spector of Sportsnet, McDavid's demand to teammates regards that they take captain skates more seriously. Despite the Oilers' incremental improvement during his tenure, the Western Conference Final remains an elusive goal. The frustration fuels McDavid's competitive edge.
"A little bit more organized in our Captain's Skates. Just to make sure that it's a productive month and we can hit the ground running."
By emphasizing organization in captain skates, McDavid aims to foster early team cohesion and a winning ethos.
