With the 2024-25 NHL season set to kick off Connor McDavid has officially had enough of talking about the Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup failures.

The Edmonton Oilers begin their season tonight against the Winnipeg Jets. Ahead of the game, Connor McDavid spoke to the media yesterday afternoon to discuss the season. Tonight's game will be the first opportunity for fans to see the Oilers since their heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Florida Panthers.

With the loss still heavy on the minds of everyone in Edmonton it has been a topic of conversation throughout the offseason. As training camp began the Amazon Faceoff: Inside The NHL docuseries premiered. McDavid and the Oilers are featured in the Amazon series particularly throughout and after their Stanley Cup Finals loss.

With all of the intrigue still building from fans regarding how each of the players handled the loss and continue to process it there have been questions almost every day from the media. During a recent press conference, Connor McDavid finally had enough and decided to take a stand.

During his final press conference prior to tonight's game against the Winnipeg Jets, Connor McDavid faced a whole scrum of media. At one point Oilers reporter Mark Spector begins to ask Connor McDavid about what he can take from the Stanley Cup Finals loss before McDavid shuts him down from asking.

This should be a great sign for the Edmonton Oilers fans as Connor McDavid has himself and his group ready to go for the upcoming season. He also of course has not been afraid to stick up to the media and stand his ground. With that said it is now time for the Edmonton Oilers to come out and perform.

Tonight the Oilers will take on the Winnipeg Jets. Newly signed forward Jeff Skinner will debut on the second line with Leon Draisaitl and Viktor Arvidsson. Skinner signed with the Oilers after being bought out by the Buffalo Sabres this summer. In goal looks to be Stuart Skinner who once again will be counted on as the Oilers' number one goaltender.

If the Oilers are going to be successful this season they will have a lot of noise to block out from fans, the media, and others after their Stanley Cup Finals loss. With yesterday's press conference from Connor McDavid, they have begun to set the tone for how they will handle questions about last season.
