The game is underway in Nashville as Connor McDavid young NHL career continues.
I noticed once again that Connor McDavid was sitting on the bench for the opening face-off.
I really hope this will stop real soon. Afterall, he is without doubt the best player that the Edmonton Oilers have. I mean Taylor Hall and the other first rounders have had there chance, give McDavid his now please.
Well enough about that for now, I want to focus on the early play in the game. The Oilers and Connor McDavid look a lot better already in this game. McDavid is flying around the ice on every shift.
They have had 2 power plays in the game so far, no goals but they are looking really good for sure. One thing I noticed on the last power play is that Connor McDavid was wide open on the right side and his team mates were playing like he didn't exist, give him the puck and he will score.
On Connor McDavid's last shift he was skating fast, passing the puck like the pro he is, he is having a nice game tonight. He may be a little to nice out there, he may have to get that game face on that all great players have. Bare down on them Connor.
The Edmonton Oilers just killed off their first Penalty of the game, making it 4 for 4, nice way to start the year on the Penalty Kill. Connor McDavid was on the ice immediately after the Penalty Kill and he was playing a defensive role in his own end and then worked the puck down the ice for a nice play.
The first period is over and it is 0-0, not bad for the team they are facing. I have to say though that Talbot looks awesome in net and he is going help the Edmonton Oilers a lot this year. He is going to give them stability in net which is very necessary for success in the NHL.
Connor McDavid played a little over 5 minutes in the first period, I think he needs a little more time out there, especially early in the game.
I'm really impressed with the two way play of Connor McDavid. He is playing a complete game out there tonight, He is in the defensive zone and making some rushes into the Predator's zone. He is also making and taking some contact at both ends of the ice.
McDavid just set Yakupov up nicely but Renne was there to make the save. I hope he will start shooting more sooner rather than later. I like the look of McDavid and Yakupov. Just a few moments ago McDavid set Yakupov up again and then took a heavy check into the boards.
The Speed of Connor McDavid is Phenomenal. Every time he picks up the puck he puts it in high gear and moves it quickly down the ice and on the last play he got a nice shot off. It won't be long and he will have his first goal.
The Oilers just had another power play and they had some nice rushes but no shots, McDavid played the first minute and made a couple of plays in the Predator's Zone.
Wow is all that I can say about the play of McDavid on the last shift he set up two really nice plays but the recipients couldn't finish it, however, Renne is no slouch in net. We are going to see some nice set ups by the soft hands of Connor McDavid.
The second period is over between the Nashville Predators and the Edmonton Oilers and the Nashville Predators scored a late goal and lead 1-0. This should set things up nicely for a good finish in the third.
The third is underway and the Edmonton Oilers just drew another penalty and are working hard on the power play to tie the game. Well the power play is over and no goal yet but a very exciting game though.
So the Game is over and the Nashville Predators have scored again and have won 2-0. No goals or points yet for Connor McDavid. The closest they got to a goal tonight was a kicked in puck. We'll have to wait another night to see Connor's first point or goal or hopefully both. Connor McDavid played a really solid game tonight and I'm looking forward to the next one. Cheers.
