While others have compared McDavid to Crosby, McDavid has steered clear. Instead he’s said he admires the 200-foot game and offensive ability of one of Crosby’s rivals, Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux.
“I’d compare myself to someone who is very reliable in his own zone and can be put out there in the last two minutes of a game to either score a goal or to defend the goal,” McDavid said.
