It feels like anytime Connor McDavid touches the puck, magic is going to happen.
And on Friday night, some serious magic did happen.
With his Edmonton Oilers down 5-4 with over three minutes left in the third period against the New York Rangers, McDavid had the puck out at mid-ice while one Ranger changed and a couple of Oilers needed to get out of the offensive zone.
Any other player might make a pass or gain the zone and dump it in. But McDavid isn’t any other player. He took the puck over the blue line with four — FOUR — Rangers surrounding him, stickhandled and used his otherworldly speed to score.
Goal of the year? Thus far, YEAH! Look at this!!

He scored on this play. McDavid is amazing and that’s some of the worst defense I’ve ever seen #NYR pic.twitter.com/W6o14UUm5n
