There’s something so fundamentally sad about the fact that Connor McDavid has spent his entire life dealing with the same problem. He has always been the best, and has always been depended upon to do it himself.

“He played with nine-year-olds when he was six. That was kinda rough, if they were losing a game, they’d look down the bench like, “C’mon, Connor, go out and score for us.”

To be this tiny kid on the bench and to have all these bigger kids relying on you, telling you to go do it for them. The difference between a 6 year old and a 9 year old is huge.

“After games when he was much younger, McDavid was a mess, his mother said. He would cry and shake, anxious under his own pressure, feeling so indebted to produce for his teammates, his buddies.”

And he always felt the pressure. He never existed without it. He felt like it was his debt to himself and to his friends to be the best at hockey, to produce.

And he just was just in the Stanley Cup Final, he had 11 points in 7 games. He had 42 points, the only player other than Lemieux and Gretzky to ever have over 40 even with an abdominal injury. And it still wasn’t enough. He won the Conn Smythe but lost the cup. And his teammates are still looking down the bench telling him to score for them.
