Connor McDavid stole the show in Game 2, but his second goal was the talk of the hockey world on Tuesday. With help from Wayne Gretzky, Rob Brown, Dave Tippett and Pavel Barber, here's a breakdown of the three key moments (via SportsnetSpec) ⤵️
“He doesn’t waste a lot of time stick-handling when he doesn’t need to stick-handle. He knows how far ahead to push it to keep it away from the guy he’s going against, that he can step around him and get to it. He has mastered that to a different level than anyone else in the game today.
“Connor did everything while picking up speed, and that defenceman is thinking, ‘What could I have done better?’ There is nothing he could have done better.”“The thing that amazes me is the speed that he’s going when he’s doing that. Just talking from experience from an old player, you’re trying to find that thing and bat it down and get it flat. Usually you’re working on that and not thinking about how fast you’re going.
In the end, Maatta should be receiving a “Get Well Soon” card from Rielly, who is off the hook as the Sportsnet Central editors have a fresh, new McDavid highlight featuring his latest victim.
