The Oilers and Connor McDavid have only one mission as the team pursues its first Stanley Cup title since 1990.

SUNRISE, Fla. — A year ago, Connor McDavid stood inside this building and channelled a lifetime’s worth of hopes, dreams and frustrations into a rallying cry he delivered to his Edmonton Oilers teammates, peppering in 14 F-bombs behind closed doors while urging them to “Dig! In! Right! Now!”

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid does not have to prove himself anymore. However, his ankle twisting assist in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final further illustrates he is the best player in the game.
