On Friday night, Connor McDavid certainly threaded the NHL goal of the year. That goal might even rank among the most beautiful in league history because everything happened so fast.
The speed of his hands, his feet and his mind completely mesmerized the four New York Rangers players who were near him. Spectacular, you say? Even better than Messmer!
If the goal was heavenly, the Edmonton Oilers captain's statement following his team's win was just as heavenly. So, after the 6-5 overtime win with Leon Draisaitl's 10th goal of the campaign, McDavid didn't give a damn about his spectacular goal.
