A biography for Connor McDavidhasn’t been written yet.
“Being solid in your own zone, being a good faceoff guy, those are things that are all important as you go deep in the playoffs.”
“I'm living out my dream, so there's nothing better than that.”
“Not a lot of people get to meet their role model and idol in life, and I've been really lucky that way.”
“You don't want to be that big shot, some guy who's some... whatever.”
“You don't want to be somebody that signs a deal and kind of shuts it down, that's not going to be me at all.”
“Every little muscle is so important.”
“Everyone in the League wants to play in the playoffs; I am no different.”
“I think the best players in the world make the players around them better. And I'm always trying to do that.”
“Just got to win games. You've just got to find ways to win games.”
“I've been lucky to be surrounded by some good hockey minds.”
“It's insane to really think about, someone is going to pay me $100 million to do what I would do anyway on a regular day; it's insane.”
“If you're putting the puck in an awkward place for someone, that's right away, advantage: you.”
“I've always said I want to score more.”
“I still feel pressure - I'm sure everyone who plays feels pressure - but I don't feel it as much now as when I was younger.”
“I definitely feel like I'm a smarter player than when I first entered the League.”
“I'm a guy who wants to make a lasting impression on hockey, and if I'm going to do that, I have a lot more work to do than just one season.”
“I don't think you're going to see any hockey player tell the media or anyone they're the best player in the world. It's just not who we are.”
“You want to be ramping up toward the playoffs. You want to be peaking as you're heading in.”
“I definitely still work on my skating a lot.”
“I think the main thing, you only get one career and you need to make the most money that you can, and any player will tell you that, you need to take care of yourself and look after yourself and your family and those around you.”
