Connor McDavid is under more pressure than anyone in this Stanley Cup Finals series, and now he's addressed just how crippling that pressure can be ahead of a must-win Game 6 on the road against the Panthers. The Stanley Cup Finals are the pinnacle of the NHL and the sport of hockey, with countless players around the world dreaming of one day simply competing to hoist the Cup. For other players, once they arrive in the NHL it's an expectation, and after becoming one of the NHL's best players since debuting back in 2015, Connor McDavid has been on a path to the Stanley Cup ever since. Last year, the team fell agonizingly short of glory against the Florida Panthers, and this season, the Oilers once again find themselves fighting off elimination in Game 6 on the road in Florida. The pressure to win has never been higher for McDavid as the games best player, and ahead of Game 6, he was asked about how much he feels that external and internal pressure, to which he had this to say: That's a pretty heavy question. If you think about it that way, you'd probably be pretty crippled. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1934665990589305051'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> That is an accurate statement from McDavid, as the pressure could be crippling if he thinks too much about it and how a loss here could effect his overall legacy in the NHL, as he simply needs to have his focus on Game 6 and nothing else. Ultimately, McDavid will be considered among the games greatest players whether he leads the come back from 3-2 here or not, but if he fails again, it's safe to say that the pressure will only get stronger and stronger moving forward.
