Connor McDavid isn't here for the noise. Canada's captain is laser-focused on one single goal: securing Olympic gold.
The superstar made his mindset crystal clear today. No distractions. Just hockey.
He completely shut down the bait from the media scrum.
McDavid was asked about the geopolitical backdrop of a Canada-USA final.
"I’m not going to get into all that. This is a hockey game."
"I’m not going to get into all that. This is a hockey game."
Instead, the guy with the massive premium price tag kept his eyes on the prize.
And that prize is a brutal showdown against the United States.
McDavid has driven the play all tournament long for Team Canada.

He's creating high-danger chances every time his skates touch the ice.
So far in Italy, nobody has been able to match his blistering pace. His speed pushes defenders back on their heels every single shift.
But he knows this final test is the hardest one yet. The Americans bring a heavy, punishing game to the table.
They're going to try and crush him in the dirty areas. Don't bet against him rising to the occasion when the stakes are highest.
Watch him put on a clinic and try to bring it home for his country.
