Former Columbus forward Nikita Filatov said he believes the Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid the best hockey player in history.
McDavid became the first hockey player in the 21st century to score more than 40 points in a single Stanley Cup. The Oilers captain has eight goals and 34 assists in 23 NHL playoff games. Edmonton loses the final series to the Florida Panthers with a score of 2-3.
— I would really like the series to go to game seven. It’s perfect for hockey fans.
McDavid is the best in hockey history. He should win the Conn Smythe Trophy. But I also want the Florida Russians to win the cup. It is true that if Connor takes the series from 0 to 3 almost single-handedly, it will be legendary,” Filatov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final series will take place on June 21 in Canada.
