I'm really curious on what's going on with McDavid. People say he's playing injured or sick, but it's not his skating or speed that's off. Connor's greatest asset is his hockey IQ, he sees the ice like no other player in the league, turns nothing into prime opportunities, successfully uses every inch of the little space defenders give him and makes really high level plays that utilize the teammates in his vicinity.
He rarely gave the puck away, was so tenacious on the backcheck that he was consistently top 3 in the league in takeaways, and he's always moving at 100MPH with and without the puck.
All of those attributes seem to have dropped a bit, especially since he got all that attention about the 17 pts in 7 games, 1st star of the week, 5 pt night. After that game, he's pointless in the last 3 consecutive. It does kind of look like he's not having fun out there lately, which is maybe affecting his creativity a little bit
But he is indeed still Connor McDavid. There are several moments/plays in each of those games that's trademark McDavid hockey, and even pointless in 3 straight, he's still 2nd overall in scoring. So it's not the end of the world at all, especially still being the Pacific Division leader. But it does look like Connor's passion level went down a notch or two, we'll probably never know what's really going on with him right now, if anything at all, could be a very personal matter. Just hopeful he gets over that hump sooner than later and returns to God-Like form at some point in the near future
