Connor McDavid responds to Ryan Kesler's confrontation in one fashion way as all the insider are seeing this series as a matchup between the rookie and the veteran.

It’s about being mentally strong … it doesn’t matter if I’m scoring as long as we’re winning games,” said McDavid, who shrugged off the liberties Kesler took.

I’m not complaining. That’s his job, his role.” said McDavid to the Edmonton Journal.

Even Wayne Gretzky invited himself to the rivalry between the two men.

It’s more physical, but Connor understands that,” Gretzky said  “It’s new in the sense that the Oilers are in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but Connor … this is not new to him. He’s grown up with this. As a 14-year-old in playoffs. Then junior playoffs. You groom yourself to get to the next level.”

"Connor just needs to rely on his ability, his instinct, his speed. He'll be fine. I really believe that." said Wayne Gretzky tothe Edmonton Journal inviting himself to the growing rivalry between the men.
