I actually think that if this game were being played 300 years ago, they would be accused of being witches...

Connor McDavid has lost his superpower due to injury
McDavid's hurt. And it just sucks... It's like he lost his superpower. So he skates like no one I've ever seen before... And now he doesn't have that. He still has the straightaway speed, I've noticed... but the little cutbacks where he is beating D out of the corner... He doesn't have it.
