Nathan MacKinnon drops hilarious quote when asked about Connor McDavid

MacKinnon did go on to add there is a long list of reasons the Edmonton Oilers captain is the best player in hockey. 

"Just watching. I mean, you know, he’s been doing it for a decade. I think he’s just so fun to watch. It’s obvious, I don’t know."

MacKinnon has an argument that he’s the best in the game, specifically considering he’s the reigning Hart Trophy winner. He’s been incredible at the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he’s as fast in certain aspects of the game as McDavid. But, like a typical hockey player who isn’t likely to try and toot his own horn, MacKinnon seemed to shrug off any suggestion he’s the best.

Oilers and the 4 Nations Face-Off Lucky to Have McDavid

McDavid has been incredible to watch at the 4 Nations. He’s been flying in the three games the team has played and he’ll be expected to play a huge role in the final on Thursday night. 

Edmonton fans know just how good McDavid is and count their lucky stars every game about how fortunate it is he’s on the roster. And, while most people know McDavid is the best, every fan tuning into the tournament can now see how obvious it is that he’s incredible.

Like MacKinnon said, "it’s obvious" when it comes to classifying McDavid as the best in the world. Team Canada will be hoping that pays dividends.
