Fans reacted after a teaser for Amazon Prime’s upcoming series FaceOff featured Oilers captain Connor McDavid showing an uncommon emotional side.
Known for his skill and calm demeanor, McDavid was seen urging his teammates to improve after a loss to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final. His frustration was clear as he shouted:
“That’s not good enough, it’s the finals. Dig in, right now!”
The exact game where Connor McDavid’s outburst occurred isn’t specified, but it likely happened during a difficult stretch for the Oilers. By then, they had dropped the first two games of the series, including a 4-1 loss in Game 2.
After the news broke, NHL fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their reactions.
"McBaby throwing a tantrum at the end lol," one fan said.
"MCDAVIDDDDDD. Chills hearing him dig into the team," another fan commented.
"I think this is Game 1 or 2 based on the yelling. But even he knew the Oilers were going to be cooked in this series," one X user said.
Many were impressed by Connor McDavid’s intensity and praised his leadership. Here are some more reactions from fans on X.
"Love seeing this. People say he has no emotion. He choose when to turn it on," a fan commented.
"McDavid is a hell of a captain. Demanding greatness from his teammates," a fan tweeted.
"Love it! That's why he's the Captain and the best player in the world. He had everyone's attention and they were fearful of him too. That's the player and athlete that you want at the helm. Very similar to Tom Brady," a fan said.
The docuseries, set to premiere on October 4, will cover the Oilers' playoff run in two episodes called "Cup or Bust Part I/II."
Can Connor McDavid lead the Oilers to victory in the split-squad battle against the Flames?
The Oilers and Flames played split-squad games on Monday night, creating two simultaneous Battle of Alberta matchups.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl represented Edmonton, where the Oilers' top powerplay played against a Flames lineup featuring Jonathan Huberdeau and Rasmus Andersson.
In Calgary, new Oilers players Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson joined Adam Henrique and Sam O'Reilly. Edmonton is focusing on special teams and evaluating depth.
Prospects like Podkolzin and Lavoie got opportunities. Noah Philp was playing to secure a fourth-line center spot next to Corey Perry. In goal, Rodrigue started in Edmonton, while Delia played for Calgary. The Flames tested AHL goalie Cooley in Edmonton and backup Vladar in Calgary.
