Niko Mikkola, a defenseman for the Florida Panthers, humorously discussed the challenge of facing Connor McDavid, a renowned player known for his agility and skill. Mikkola acknowledged that McDavid can be difficult to defend against, often 'dangling' past defenders. He emphasized the importance of keeping your legs moving when McDavid is 'buzzing around.' However, Mikkola expressed confidence in his team's ability to handle McDavid, citing the presence of a teammate named Bobby as a key factor in their defensive strategy.
Mikkola humorously says sometimes McDavid is “going to dangle you, but that’s why we have a Bobby.”
