Connor McDavid is on another level this postseason
Connor McDavid is the best player in the world. No question.
The Edmonton Oilers captain has been dubbed a "regular-season player" for most of his career, and I think he's sick of all that talk. Before this season, McDavid had 11 goals and 11 assists in 21 postseason games. In the 2022 playoffs, he already has 6 goals and 14 assists for 20 points in just 9 games played. He has quite literally put his entire team on his back these playoffs, and it's been incredible to see.
McDavid had a couple of notable plays that stood out last night in game two against the Calgary Flames. What makes them special is how easy he makes every play look when they definitely aren't.
Like this one:
That play led directly to an Oilers' goal but was disallowed because it was deemed that McDavid interfered with goaltender Jacob Markstrom. However, just 36 seconds later, he did this:
With another two points in game two, Connor McDavid has officially scored the most points in the first nine games of the playoffs in the last 30 years. Simply historic stuff he's doing right now.
He also hasn't been afraid to throw the body this postseason, either. How McDavid has transformed his all-around game since he came into the league is impressive.
