00:00Conor McDavid, we know he's one of the greats in the game and what an unbelievable story
00:08to tell.
00:09If they were down 0-3 and he puts the Oilers in that city and Canada on his back to win
00:13a game number seven and a Stanley Cup.
00:15It didn't happen.
00:16So taking a look forward at Conor McDavid, he was sensational once again here.
00:19What's the future for him and also the future for the Edmonton Oilers?
00:24I feel like Conor McDavid has said it a number of times and we can see his humility through
00:28his press conferences and his demeanor.
00:30He has no intention of bailing on the Oilers and maybe getting this much closer is going
00:35to be that much more impactful and powerful for a guy like Conor McDavid, which is very
00:39scary.
00:41They went through a coaching change.
00:42They were very slow out the gate for this season.
00:45He's been battling a number of injuries.
00:47So it's not like the Oilers failed him or he failed the Oilers.
00:50With everything they had to overcome this season, to make it to a Stanley Cup final
00:54was impeccable.
00:55So I think that they have probably one of the best motivations heading into next season.
01:00They don't have a bunch of caps case issues, so they have a good core to just continue
01:04to build around.
01:05We saw some good depth from younger guys getting involved, so they just have minor adjustments
01:09to make where they can, you know, alleviate Conor McDavid a little bit and let him flourish
01:13at the right time of the season.
01:15That head coach and him obviously have chemistry.
01:17They've worked together previously in their career, and I think that's just going to play
01:20a larger role in what's to come in the upcoming season.
01:24For him to even keep his team in this, those crucial eight points that he picked up in
01:28games four and five, he's just going to continue to try to throw the Oilers on his shoulder
01:33and pull them through the finish line to hoist the cup.
01:36In the next year or two, he could potentially do that very much so.
