Flashback: McDavid's First NHL Goals Revisited
Connor McDavid tips home his first NHL goal nine years ago today against the Stars, a gritty deflection that hinted at the supernova we'd all witness. Those early Oilers days with Nail Yakupov and Benoit Pouliot on his wings feel like another era, especially with the weight of a franchise now squarely on his shoulders under Stan Bowman. Fans love reliving that moment because it captures the kid who arrived hyped beyond belief and delivered from game three.
