Injured or not, McDavid must be physically and mentally exhausted. The amount of hockey, practice, training, media, and other extra stuff required for him is off the charts. Sportsnet, TSN and other media and fans have these guys in a different level request wise in Canada. He's like a Mathews but a light version in some ways. Throw in Edmonton weather and travel and it's wild.
Edmonton has essentially been playing really intense hockey trying to get into the playoffs and relying on McDavid for so much for so long. People in Edmonton may disagree but he is still human.
