Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers is looking forward to the decisive Game 7 in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Vancouver Canucks. “It’s an exciting game, an exciting day. “You don’t get the opportunity to play a game like that very often,” he says.
According to McDavid, the fact that the Canucks have to do without Brock Boeser due to injury does not make the task any easier: “They have a lot of great players. Brock is a very good player, he played really well and scored a lot of goals. But they have a great lineup. I don’t expect their game to change much.”
“As a Canadian boy in a Canadian playoff series”.
Connor McDavid: “We’re ready for Game 7”.
For the Canadian, it is a special feeling to play the deciding game in a Canadian duel: “It’s something you dream about. You know you’re playing a Game 7 now. And as a Canadian boy in an all-Canadian playoff series. Both groups of fans know what this means for the entire country. That is exciting.”
So far, neither team has really gotten going and won two games in a row. Will the Oilers be able to do this for the first time after their 5-1 win in Game 6? “Momentum is something that people like to talk about. But there’s actually no such thing in the playoffs. It comes one game after another. We know that Game 6 is now history. “Now we’re ready for Game 7,” announces McDavid.
Game 7 between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers takes place this Monday. NHL.TV and Sky Sport Mix will broadcast the game live from 3 a.m.
