Connor McDavid sends a message to Team Canada fans ahead of Gold Medal game

It’s going to be a historic game tomorrow for the gold medal and international glory and bragging rights, as Team Canada has advanced thanks to consecutive exciting wins over Czechia and Finland.

They will play Team USA, who earned exciting wins themselves over Team Sweden and Team Slovakia.

Before the game, Connor McDavid, who is playing in his first Olympics, posted a special message on his Instagram account saying how much it means to him to represent Canada with the current group and his excitement for the game.

McDavid is playing in the Olympics for the first time, as this is the first time since 2014, a year before McDavid’s career began, that NHL players are taking part, and he’s already made history.

For two straight games, Canada needed a miracle comeback effort to defeat their opponents.

They trailed 3-2 against Czechia before a goal from Nick Suzuki tied things up, setting the stage for Mitch Marner to score the OT GWG.

Then against Finland, they trailed 2-0 before eventually getting goals from Sam Reinhart, Shea Theodore and Nathan MacKinnon.

MacKinnon’s was a PPG and it had to withstand a video challenge for offside. Meanwhile, more than a few fans of Finland, including Hall of Famer Teemu Selanne, were unhappy with what they thought were favourable calls for Canada by the officials.
