from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,

So what did we learn from the latest Edmonton Oilers exhibition W — would be nice if they got real points from these affairs rather than style points — apart from what we already know about Connor McDavid, who is unstoppable in the fall, the spring, heck every day of the week ending in y?

McDavid has nine points in his three pre-season games, with two goals on Antti Raanta including breakaway OT winner Thursday against Arizona in a 3-2 victory.

His usual A-plus, eh?

When the anthem was on and Joey Moss was clearing his throat on O’ Canada behind him, McDavid was leaning on his stick on the bench, head down, maybe visualizing a couple of snipes. He wasn’t looking at the crowd to see how many were wearing his jersey.

This man’s dialed in, and it’s only September, folks.
