Ladies And Gentlemen, The Connor McDavid Era Has Officially Begun

The moment we’ve all been waiting for. The prodigy. The Next Next One. The kid who is going to carry the torch for the NHL for the next couple of decades. Connor McDavid finally scores his first career NHL goal in his 3rd game of the season and his face says it all. Let’s take a quick look at history real quick.

If you just get yourself toward the front of the net, good things are going to happen. It may not be quite as much of a highlight reel goal like his peers Jack Eichel and Dylan Larkin have scored so far, but it counts just as much the same and this will be the first of nearly a thousand goals this kid scores in the league. So glad we were all alive to witness it. Also, I’ll just leave this here…

Was it just a lucky call a couple hours before puck drop? Maybe. But Connor McDavid was sick of seeing all these new eras starting in the NHL without his name on them. Well, he finally got his.
