Video surfaces of Coach Cooper's message to Connor McDavid, Mitch Marner just before Canada's win

Seeing Cooper behind the bench call out those two players in particular, who were buzzing in the late stages of the game after a slow start, shows the great expertise of Canada's coach — and the belief in McDavid's talent.

Just as Cooper called it, Mitch Marner made a perfect pass to Connor McDavid alone in front, who didn't miss a perfect shot to win the game.

Earlier in the tournament, Mitch Marner had to be bumped down the lineup after appearing to struggle to develop chemistry with McDavid. The two were once seen having a heated conversation on the bench.

Fans can overanalyze some situations, though, and what it now looks like here was Connor McDavid and Mitch Marner trying their absolute best to win for Canada, and it brings out the passion in both great players. After all, Marner and McDavid are longtime competitors and friends.

It was a magical night for Connor McDavid, who has a classic reaction of humility after his incredible goal. It was a moment where McDavid took a major leap in his career, and perhaps he can take these winning habits back to the Oilers.
