“There was a lot of pain, like I can’t even explain it to you”, McDavid stated in the documentary.
You have to feel for McDavid, who waited for over a decade for this moment, only to come up short. You can imagine he will be playing with extra fire in the 2024-25 season as he tries to avenge the loss. Given the Oilers ‘ looming cap situation, 2025 may be his best chance at the Cup.
McDavid had an incredible 2024 postseason, racking up a mind-blowing 42 points in 25 games. He led the league in playoff scoring by a mile, with the next closest guy trailing by 10 points. However, he couldn’t get on the scoresheet in the final two games.
Props to Amazon for capturing this gut-wrenching moment so beautifully, and the NHL for allowing cameras inside at such a raw moment. Hockey fans everywhere can understand the passion McDavid has for this great game.
You won’t see a reaction like this in any other sport.
