Connor McDavid stuns with comments ahead of possible elimination

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have carried the Edmonton Oilers deep into the second round, but they are facing elimination against the Vancouver Canucks tonight.

With this in mind, captain McDavid has made his thoughts very clear about tonight's game, as the Edmonton Oilers look to break years of playoff disappointment.

With fans watching on home ice, it would be heartbreaking for the Oilers' season to end in such a way to their close rival. Knowing how tight the series has been, it should be a great game.

The stakes are higher than ever in Alberta, and Connor McDavid will need to be an amazing leader to get his team past the Vancouver Canucks.

Who do you think will win this series between the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers?
