Following the final regular season game of the Edmonton Oilers disappointing season, the team got some good news: Connor McDavid didn't break his leg following a collision in Saturday's night Battle of Alberta.

Even though the Oilers didn't make playoffs, but no team wants to see their face of the franchise need to be helped off the ice without putting any pressure down on his leg

On Sunday, the Oilers did a locker room cleanout, and McDavid stood in front of a field of reporters answering questions about the collision with Mark Giordano, season as a whole and how the Oilers move forward.

Being the fearless captain of the team, McDavid gave a blunt answer when asked what his initial reaction to the injury was.

“I thought my leg was in two pieces. “I’ve never had a lower-body injury before. This was something new for me.”

With no crutches in sight while he answered questions in the scrum, the intial x-rays were deemed negative, meaning there was no damage structural damage to his leg. But that doesn't mean he's in the clear, as the second-highest scoring leader in the NHL will undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine if his knee, in fact, took the brunt of the blow.

So, will McDavid tweak his game and stop driving to the net with such force like when he was clocked at colliding with the net at over 40 km/h? Don't count on it.

“They pay me $100 million to play my game, and part of my game is beating guys wide and going to the net. I’ll have to give my money back if I stop doing that. I’m not doing that, so…”

Asked about his comments in Vegas where he sounded off about being frustrated with the team's results, McDavid continued to beat down the same path for good reason: he's tired of losing and wants to be playing meaningful hockey in mid-April.

“Lots has already been said about what I said in Vegas, but I’d be a complete loser if I wasn’t frustrated. You know, it’s frustrating personally. It’s frustrating as a group. We want to be in the playoffs. We want to be competing late in the season. That’s not where we’re at, so we got some stuff to figure out.

“My message is, let’s get this right. Let’s fix this,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what has to happen, let’s just get this right. That’s all.”

"Like I said. That’s not rubbing anyone’s nose in anything. That’s just simply the facts. We’re going to get it right. I know Bob is on a mission to right the ship here and I’m confident he will.”

He then shot down any trade speculation that he could ask for a trade if the team continues to stumble.

"I want to be here. If I didn’t want to be here I wouldn’t have signed an eight-year deal. I love the guys and the city. There’s obviously going to be changes both on and off the ice and that’s just the facts of it. But I am here to be part of the solution. That’s that.”

Now it's time for the Oilers to find a solution on how to maximize McDavid's peak years and try to get the team back into the post-season.
