Yeah, I thought the play was completely incidental. Edler tried to hit him clean, and McDavid tried to avoid it causing them to catch each other's knees.

The way McDavid plays, I am surprised that he hasn't been injured more in his career. I suspect it is only a matter of time until he gets a serious injury.

His ability to go full speed into traffic is probably the main thing that makes him successful, but it is also high risk. Good for him for being able to mostly avoid situations like the one that happened with Edler, but one day he isn't going to be so lucky.
