Oilers’ Connor McDavid Reveals Surprising Truth After Dominating the Kraken Is Edmonton Finally Turning Things Around?
The Edmonton Oilers not only won against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night—they totally crushed them, scoring an impressive 9-4 victory that has changed the whole situation in the Pacific Division. But it wasn’t just the nine goals that got everyone talking… it was Connor McDavid’s really honest comments after the game that have people wondering: Is this the moment when the Oilers finally fix their season—or is it just a temporary excitement?
McDavid, who just scored his 13th career hat trick, openly shared his disappointment about how he has been playing lately. In an unusual moment of straight talk, the team captain said he has been holding back.
“I passed up on a few chances the other night, and it hurt us,” McDavid said, talking about the tough 1-0 loss to Minnesota. “I really thought about trying to score more often. ”
That simple statement felt more like a message than just a remark to everyone else in the league. When McDavid chooses to go for the goal instead of just passing, other teams have a tough time. Seattle found that out the hard way.
But there’s a bigger story underneath this action: Are the Oilers finally moving past their rocky start? Keep in mind, this is a team that began the season with a humiliating 9-1 loss to the Avalanche, struggled to a record of 6-6-4, and seemed really confused. But now? With a record of 12-11-5 and suddenly tied for the last Wild Card spot, Edmonton is slowly making a comeback.
Thursday’s huge scoring game wasn’t just necessary—it was long overdue. And if McDavid keeps this “shoot-first, worry about it later” attitude, the Pacific Division could be in for some challenges.
One thing is clear:
If this version of McDavid keeps playing like this, the Oilers’ season isn’t just changing… it’s about to get exciting.
