Hey, maybe all that “Can Connor McDavid win the Calder?” isn’t overblown.
The super-hyped No. 1 pick of the 2015 NHL Draft reminded us of how much we missed him - not to mention how absurdly fast he is - with a goal in his first game back from a freakish injury.
It’s just a jaw-dropper.
Feast your eyes on the goal McDavid scored in the video above, beguiling a group of Columbus Blue Jackets in a way that evoked a little bit of Datsyukian magic.
Simply unbelievable. 💯 #CBJvsEDM pic.twitter.com/fc9FTCUhHs
