## Resource

Connor McDavid just tied Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby for the longest streak of being named the NHL’s undisputed best player — nine straight years — cementing his legacy as a hockey cheat code. From his 2018 breakout against Crosby, McDavid has dominated with unmatched speed, vision, and playoff brilliance, including a historic 42-point postseason in 2024. While rivals like Matthews and MacKinnon shine, McDavid’s consistency — especially under pressure — makes him a generational force. But with his 30th birthday looming in 2027 — the same age Crosby’s reign ended — the question looms: can anyone dethrone him? For now, McDavid’s reign is a marvel to witness — and a fleeting one that may soon pass to the next great. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
