Connor McDavid is a professional ice hockey player from Canada who currently serves as the captain of the Edmonton Oilers. The NHL is known for its competitive and physical gameplay. Players have to possess exceptional skills and expertise to survive in this league.

In an interview with the Spittin’ Chiclets, Bissonnette described his encounter with McDavid during a pre-season game. He said:

“He fu**ing undressed our line, buddy. It was like… I was like, 'Oh My God.' I knew right then and there I was no longer cut out for the national league.”

McDavid's flawless gameplay was too much for Bissonnette to handle, and it brought along a wave of self-realization. Bissonnette doubted his skills and ultimately came to the conclusion that he wasn’t going to continue in the league anymore.

During the face-off, McDavid destroyed his opponents in seconds, leaving them with no chance of taking a proper shot. Bissonnette said:

“No word of a lie, my last NHL shifts were in an exhibition game up in Canada with the L.A. Kings organization. And McDavid was playing in that exhibition game. I got caught out there fu*ing two times against him, fung dash one each time within fu**ing seconds.”

The encounter with McDavid left Bissonnette questioning his abilities as a player.

Despite his discouragement, Bissonnette had the strength to move on and take the necessary steps to pursue other opportunities.
