Connor McDavid Dethroned in Oilers Skill Test
Connor McDavid is known for being the fastest player in the league. He skates beautifully, with very few flaws in his stride.
Despite this, McDavid was somehow dethroned from being the fastest skater on the Oilers roster during their annual skills competition.
Even more shocking - he wasn't even top-five.
Here were the results of the fastest skater competition:
Oilers Skills Competition Results:
Fastest Skater (two laps):
1. M. Niemelainen - 26.27
2. K. Yamamoto - 26.72
3. D. Holloway - 26.92
4. J. Hamblin - 26.92
5. M. Janmark - 27.00
6. K. Kostin - 27.09
While competitions like this don't mean much, it is surprising to see McDavid fall so low on this list.
