The scepter moved

Connor McDavid is the best player in many papers in the world. However, winning is not easy.
The glossy boy of the hockey had to wait almost nine years to raise the trophy again. The previous win was the World Cup gold in spring 2016.
For Canadians, the story was perfect. In 2010 Sidney Crosby Solved his overtime goal for Canada in the Olympic gold match against the US. Now, 37-year-old Crosby is slowly receding to the background, and the scepter is moving to 28-year-old McDavid.
In overtime, McDavid made his trademark, a long transportation, but there was no result. Before the winning goal, the puck was hardly a second on the star stage.

In the finals, Binnington took 31 reels. Overdue reset Auston Matthews and Brady Tkachukin There was a level at the top places that even the MVP Prize would not have been injustice.
– I just fought and tried to do my job, Binnington summed up on the NHL website.
By the way, do you remember the Stanley Cup finals culminate Game Seven Summer 2019? Even then, a big stake in Boston was played on TD Garden ice – and the winner of the guest watch, Binnington, was the winner.

In the middle of the 4 Nations hockey hockey, it is easy to forget that the NHL regular season is still bad. Return to (gray) everyday life is already on Saturday night Finnish time.
For example, Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins, represented by McDavid and Crosby, return to the game.
Still, Canada’s gold medalists did not worry about the future after the final. In the locker room, beer was pulled in a boisterous mood.
The Lions players have also been able to switch to a small little one. For example, Erik Haula of New Jersey Devils was his wife Kristenin Based on the social release, I had time to go on vacation, even though the invitation to the NHL costume booth is coming soon.
