Tonight Connor McDavid plays his first game in the NHL. This is a game that no serious hockey fan should miss. This is the beginning of a new era in the NHL and for the Edmonton Oilers. Connor McDavid will have the same opportunity that Sidney Crosby had in 2005 to show the Hockey world that he is the real deal.
We have been hearing for a long time now just how great Connor McDavid is and I for one can't wait to see it for myself. Just a few moments ago I was listening to a radio program talking about how one very well respected scout has ranked Connor McDavid as the greatest Draft Pick of all time, listing him ahead of people like Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby and the likes.
The first game will certainly be a challenge for the young Edmonton Oilers team and for Connor McDavid as they face one of the top teams in the NHL, the St Louis Blues. But being young is something the Edmonton Oilers should be used to considering they have been stuck in the rebuilding stage for many years now.
I hope Connor McDavid all the best in his NHL Debut and I hope that he can exceed Sidney Crosby's first season point total of 102 points in 2005. Perhaps he can also help the Edmonton Oilers make the Play-Offs this year something that Crosby couldn't do for the Pittsburgh Penguins in his NHL Debut Season. However, even if the Oilers don't make it to the Play-Offs they are used to that as they haven't done so in 9 Years, Currently, the longest Play-Off Drought for any team in the NHL. All the Best to Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. Cheers.
