Gotta See It: Oilers’ Todd McLellan loves Phil Collins

Connor McDavid broke out in a big way in his Hockey Night in Canada debut, earning his first multi-goal game in the NHL with two goals and an assist. He was also a hair away from the hat-trick. Watch all his highlights here.

During the third period of the Edmonton Oilers’ 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames, Hockey Twitter’s resident GIF queen @myregularface produced this gem of Oilers coach Todd McLellan “playing the drums”.

I watched the clip over and over again, and an idea dawned on me.

I think I need to pack it up after this. I will never have a better idea ever again so I might as well go out on top.

Seriously though, it did feel like something was in the air, didn’t it? Four different former first overall picks scored goals for the Edmonton Oilers, including Connor McDavid who had a pair of goals and an assist.

Was this Connor McDavid’s coming out party?
