Connor McDavid

 

Connor Mcjesus

        As you may know, I am a big hockey fan. I watch numerous games, not only my favorite team (Arizona Coyotes) but other teams as well. As the playoffs are about to start this season, one player stood alone from all the rest. His name is Connor McDavid, also known as Connor Mcjesus. He amounted to one hundred and fifty-two points in eighty-one games. This means he had a plus-minus of one hundred and fourteen. The next closest player in recent history was Nikita Kucherov, with one hundred and twenty-eight points. Oh, also don't think McDavid is going away anytime soon because he's only twenty-six years old. He has his Edmonton Oilers sitting in a comfortable two-seed in the west. They are expected to play a tough Los Angeles Kings. 

        I predict the Oilers to make it to the Stanley Cup final. The Oilers lost last year in a tough series against the Colorado Avalanche, who went on to hoist the cup. But this year, I could easily see the Oilers making a stronger push for the cup by adding more defensemen at the trade deadline and by adding an all-star goalie Jack Campbell in the offseason. These additions were significant holes that I think they covered for this playoff push. I could be wrong, but I think the way McDavid has been playing and how the defensemen have been playing this team is a scary team in a seven-game series. 

        I'd love to hear if you all will be watching the Stanley Cup playoffs. What team do you think will be hoisting the cup after it's all said and done? Do you believe McDavid can will his team to a championship? Make sure to leave a comment down below.
