Let's Check In On How Connor McDavid's First Game In An Oilers Jersey Went

Welcome to the fucking show, rookie. The Edmonton Oilers are playing in the Young Stars prospects tournament and in his debut in a Oilers jersey, Connor McDavid got turned into an advertisement along the boards by Jake Virtanen. Pretty much as clean as a hit can get at that spot on the ice. “But ya gotta keep ya head up, oooohh. And you can let your hair down, eeeeehh.” McDavid is gonna have a target on his back for his entire career. Here’s to hoping he doesn’t suffer the same fate as one Xavier LaFlamme.

McDavid ended up scoring a goal and the Oilers won 8-2. But hopefully this is a little preview of the future. Virtanen is only 19 and has a frame to tack on a few more pounds. McDavid is going to be the best player in the league and Stamkos is saying that he’s already better than him. Calgary is only getting better, Arizona may not suck so much once Domi, Duclair and Strome get together. The Pacific Division could turn into a bloodbath.
