Three-time world hockey champion Alexei Tereshchenko spoke about the uniqueness of Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid.
McDavid became the first hockey player in the 21st century to score more than 40 points in a single Stanley Cup. The Oilers captain has eight goals and 34 assists in 23 NHL playoff games. Edmonton loses the final series to the Florida Panthers with a score of 2-3.
“I’ve always said that guys like him are born once in 100 years. He can really do everything: score, pass. The only thing is that his defense isn’t the best. But there aren’t many players like him, unfortunately,” “Championship” quotes Tereshchenko as saying.
Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals will take place on June 21 in Canada.
