Fans react to McDavid's amazing highlight-reel goal against the Leafs
Hockey fans are understandably losing their minds over Connor McDavid’s highlight-reel goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Edmonton Oilers beat the Leafs 6-4 in Toronto Monday, with the captain putting on quite the show in his hometown, finishing with four points — including his ridiculous third period goal.
Last night’s game brings McDavid’s league-leading point total up to 69, and made it his 20th regular season game with 3+ assists, tying him for fifth-most in NHL history by a player before age 23.
McDavid’s being applauded for his calculated bursts of speed that completely undressed Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly.
It’s the goal of the decade (so far):

Connor McDavid is the greatest skater in the history of the NHL. He makes a very good player look like a traffic cone. https://t.co/pU03d3uv2B

Connor mcdavid apparently is an alien. Crazy that a guy who grew up in Erie penslyvania and was a hero on his high school hockey team the Lake Erie otters can be this smart on the ice. This guy gets in and out of his cuts so fast makes me wanna play some paramore in my basement https://t.co/b9jqS3Gv01

We call today’s defensive practice “So You Got Walked by Connor McDavid”. It’s mostly a support group. https://t.co/ntZ9Gx76FI
