If you watch the final few minutes of the 4-Nations, you can see how McDavid is a one man show, even when surrounded by the best players in world. Then when he does score, he goes off to celebrate with himself instead of the guy that fed him a perfect pass. He is what he is.

The title says 'McDavid wins in for Canada', but if you watch the OT, Binnington won it by making about 4-5 saves that should have been goals.
