Darian Durant defends Connor McDavid after Canada loses Olympic gold medal to United States

The loss of the United States to Canada in the gold medal match of the Olympics has increased the pressure on Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid. Darian Durant, former Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback, is defending himself, saying the criticism is unwarranted and premature. Based on his previous losses in championships, before ultimately winning, Durant feels that the career life of McDavid requires patience and not pressure-induced storylines.
