Video of Connor McDavid's dramatic breakdown during the Stanley Cup Finals released publicly
A short teaser of Connor McDavid's passionate speech to teammates emerged recently in a new Amazon show, and now, the shocking full version has been revealed.
The Stanley Cup Finals can be a stressful time for any player, but when you are the best player on earth and the captain of a team staring down an 0-2 deficit, it's safe to say that the intensity and the pressure ramps up to an unexpected level. We saw a glimpse of that recently when the new Amazon show 'Faceoff: Inside the NHL' dropped a teaser trailer of Oilers captain Connor McDavid screaming at his teammates after a loss to take them to 0-2 in the series, and now, the full clip has been unveiled.
Unsurprisingly, the clip featured many more 'f-bombs' from the captain, showing the intensity and passion that he carries with him both on and off the ice. While the team would go on to lose game three, they would then rattle off three straight victories, taking the series all the way back to Game 7 in Florida, before they would ultimately fall despite their valiant efforts.
For most people, Connor McDavid is a quiet leader on the ice and a muted personality in the media, but this shows a side of him we've never quite seen before, but one that is likely quite present within the Oilers locker room. Some people don't respond to this, but others take it quite well, and after captaining this team for years, McDavid clearly knows the right way to get his players inspired, as it worked like a charm this time.
Now, the team have made some significant additions this off-season as they look to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals, and with a motivated McDavid chasing his first Cup, it's safe to say that they'll be very hard to stop in the Western Conference this year.
