The article features numerous quotes from those involved, along with video clips to highlight examples.

flyercanuck Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Adds veteran winger Alex Chiasson: “When you’ve got the best player on your team — your captain — doing that stuff, it’s contagious.” Exactly. Anything your captain does is contagious. Captains like McDavid make your team better. Some turn your team into a bunch of floaters. He's easily the best player on the planet. And it's a breath of fresh air him not having the sense of entitlement Crosby had when he was. The face of the NHL shouldn't be a snivelling whiner. Guys been a class act since day one. Crosby eventually grew up. McDavid didn't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
