All that’s missing on McDavid’s ‘best ever’ résumé is a win of any sort. This is his window to achieve it, but probably not for long

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid prepares to shoot against Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger during overtime in Game 1 of the NHL hockey Western Conference Stanley Cup playoff finals in Dallas, on May 23.Every playoff series has its sliding-doors moment. If this had happened instead of that, everything would have ended up different.

McDavid plus time to manoeuvre plus front of net plus no defender equals goal 100 per cent of the time. That is a rule of hockey reasoning. It is true because it works. After one game, there are two things we can guess about this series – it is going to be even more of a whiplash affair than the previous one against Vancouver; and, for good or ill, McDavid will be the story of it.

Actually, were he to retire today, his mystique would be massively amplified. It’d be a tantalizing series of what might have beens. ‘Connor McDavid’ and ‘mysterious’ are not two ideas that currently co-exist. The Oilers are always one awkward hit from disaster. There are already rumours milling that McDavid is playing injured.
