EDMONTON, Alberta — Connor McDavid thought the Stanley Cup Remaining would really feel extra magical.
“You spend your life working to get right into a place like this. You get right here and count on there to be this magic feeling, however to be sincere, it is all been fairly regular,” he stated Thursday forward of Sport 6.

• Set a file for many assists in a single NHL postseason (34).
• Posted the fourth-highest single postseason level whole (42) of any participant in NHL historical past, and trails Wayne Gretzky’s all-time file by 5 factors.
• Turn out to be the primary participant in NHL historical past to submit back-to-back four-point video games within the Stanley Cup Remaining (Video games 4 and 5).
• Scored 11 factors within the Remaining, two again of Gretzky’s file of 13 factors in 1988.
And that is only a small sampling of his statistical achievements.

“Typically you are within the dressing room and also you’re wanting throughout at your leaders and also you’re unsure in the event that they’re able to play. They’re nervous or struggling, and it places a variety of doubt in your workforce,” he stated. “However if you have a look at Connor McDavid placing collectively back-to-back four-point video games, that offers your workforce a variety of confidence. Your greatest gamers do this. After they’re able to play, you are like, ‘all proper, we will be OK.’ I simply offers confidence all through the dressing room.”
Goalie Stuart Skinner stated that self-assurance extends off the ice.
“He is bought a lot confidence in us. For me, personally, he offers me a ton of confidence whether or not I let in 5 [goals] or I get a shutout, he is at all times in my nook. He at all times has my again and telling me that he believes in me,” Skinner stated earlier than grinning. “Plus, he at all times lets me win on the aircraft once we play video games.”
McDavid is now the favourite to win the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP, although his workforce just isn’t favored to win the Stanley Cup Remaining. However for the Oilers’ captain, the mission is not about breaking data or making iconic moments.
“I do not assume you are interested by that,” he stated. “These issues simply occur. They seem to be a byproduct of being ready, all of the work that we have carried out all through the common season, all of the work that we have carried out by means of this run. These moments are a product of fellows who’re prepared for the large second. There isn’t any group that’s extra prepared for the second than this one right here.”
