Connor McDavid, widely considered the world's best hockey player, faced questions about his lack of major titles after recent losses. He has lost two consecutive Stanley Cup finals with the Edmonton Oilers in 2024 and 2025 and recently lost the Olympic gold medal final with Canada in Milan. After the Oilers lost 5-6 to the Anaheim Ducks in an NHL game, with Leo Carlsson scoring a goal and two assists, McDavid was asked if it is time for him to start winning something.
He responded that it is a nice question to get and noted that the margins are very small and it is tough to win in the NHL and at the Olympics. The issue was also discussed in SVT's studio after the Olympic final, where expert Henrik Lundqvist said McDavid must start winning something because titles are what count in the end and it is important for his legacy in Canada.
