On an airplane, Connor McDavid was observed continuing a hilarious superstition.

Amid the flurry of preparations, team captain Connor McDavid has caught the eye with his unique pre-game rituals. Notably, McDavid was seen donning the same suit he has worn since midway through the series against the Dallas Stars, a decision seemingly tied to his well-documented superstitious nature.

A glimpse of McDavid's ritualistic attire was captured in a tweet:

His steadfast adherence to this particular suit underscores a broader pattern of superstitious behavior, which he has openly acknowledged affects various aspects of his game-day preparations.

Further fueling discussions around McDavid's superstitions, a playful exchange during an NHL on TNT panel discussion highlighted his quirky practices. Paul Bissonette, a former player and current analyst, quipped about whether McDavid's superstitions extended to his socks and underwear.

This ritualistic behavior is not just a personal quirk but a source of unity and amusement for the team and fans alike. As the Oilers face the Panthers, the stakes are high, and every little edge counts.

McDavid, often hailed as the best player in hockey, understands the psychological benefits these routines can provide. His consistency off the ice mirrors the team's on-ice efforts, which have been characterized by collective contributions rather than reliance on any single player.

As they step onto the NHL's biggest stage, the Oilers hope that McDavid's adherence to his superstitions—whether it be his suit or something unseen—will bring an added layer of confidence and luck. With the series set to unfold, all eyes will be on McDavid to see if his rituals will indeed influence his performance and, potentially, the outcome of the games.
