Connor McDavid gives heart-crushing response when asked about pressure
As the best player in the NHL, the pressure is always on Connor McDavid to perform, and when addressing the pressure, he gave a heart-wrenching answer.
The Edmonton Oilers are facing a 3-2 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final, and while they've been here before and forced a Game 7, it's very safe to say that they are once again feeling the pressure against the Florida Panthers.
That pressure is on every single player on the team, but given his status as captain and the games best player, the pressure continues to mount on him as another Stanley Cup Final heartbreak potentially looms large.
Ahead of Game 6 in Florida, McDavid has addressed that pressure, being asked about the pressure to win as the games top player, and his response shows just how human even the best player in the league is as he stares down another potential defeat in the Final.
Despite being so brilliant individually, McDavid is yet to reach the mountain top with the Oilers and, as a result, the pressure continues to mount on a player that did all he could last year and has done all he could in 2025 to get the Oilers there.
While hockey remains the ultimate team sport and winning the Stanley Cup continues to be one of the hardest trophies in sports to win, the pressure on individuals is so high from the fans, media and the history of the sport and, now, with all of that on his shoulders, McDavid needs to go out there and lead his team to two more wins.
