97 is all over the ice! I can't believe this guy has another gear!
Connor McDavid is playing like he's been shot out of a cannon.
The Edmonton Oiler superstar is making his Olympic hockey debut today as Team Canada takes on Team Czechia and... well... #97 isn't wasting any time.
In his very first shift of Olympic hockey ever, McDavid laid a massive hit on Czech forward Lukas Sedlak, sending sending Sedlak crashing to the ice behind his team's goal.
Check it out:
Sedlak would retaliate on McDavid later in the play, drawing the game's first penalty. Canada would fail to score on the ensuing powerplay, but it's clear that McDavid and company are here to play.
Game on, Canada.
