Connor McDavid does it all. He scored at 5:03 in overtime as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Flames 5-4 to win their second-round playoff series 4-1 and move on to the Western Conference final.

The captain fired his seventh goal of the post-season past Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom and then celebrated with his teammates on the ice. When he spoke about the goal after the game, you could tell the usually stoic player was excited.

“I just tried to get my legs going,” McDavid said of the winner on the ice, moments after finding the back on the net. “They weren’t moving all that well all night — just trying to focus on skating and got in on the forecheck and got the puck to Leo.

“Usually when the puck goes to Leo something good’s gonna happen.”

Leon Draisaitl finished with 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) in five games while dealing with what’s believed to be a lower-body injury. As for McDavid, he had two goals and 10 assists against Calgary. He and Draisaitl both have 26 points through 12 playoff games — the sixth and seventh times in NHL history a player has reached that level.

Once he left the ice to join his teammates in the dressing room, McDavid was caught on tape celebrating with raw emotion what had just transpired on the ice. He was fired up, and that's an understatement. 

This is what was leaked and is now going viral:

The Oilers will face either the Colorado Avalanche or St. Louis Blues in the third round. Colorado leads that series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Friday in St. Louis.

For now, we bet the Oilers are still celebrating - and that includes a very passionate captain McDavid.
