The tirade was after game 2. After the tirade the team lost game 3 to fall in a 3-0 series hole
Good for McDavid!
One of the best indicators of leadership is what a group does, and the Oilers came back from down 3-0 in the series to force game seven and lost it 2-1. This was after game 2, so it's not some big winning speech, but it's a good look into McDavid's leadership as a whole. Leadership which deserves criticism for going down 3-0, but praise for getting to the finals and then holding on through the comeback.
This may not be the most quotable or inspirational speech of all time of all time, nor have the touch of destiny that the truly great speeches do, but you bet your bottom dollar that this is what most of them actually sound like. Calling out his team, calling on them to give it their all, and showing that he as the leader they all look up to is fired up. It wasn't cup winning leadership, but it was still great.

I believe I saw in on an Episode of "20 in 20" a few years ago, try using that in your search engine. There was a scrub on his team during one of their playoff runs who mouthed him off after a game.

Hopefully Crosby shows mcdavid how to lead and win in the coming tournaments. Should be a good lesson for connor
It's like what a person that can't show emotions and is essentially a robot thinks showing emotions is about. Quite disturbing.

Why is this misinformation out there?
It was after Game #2, people trying to make it seem like his rant worked when it clearly didn't and they lost Game #3.
McDavid believes raw emotion shown in Amazon docuseries will make for excellent viewing
Although his insight and willingness to let fans in has grown considerably over the past couple of seasons, the clip revealed in the Amazon trailer provides a whole new window into Connor McDavid.
"It featured Connor McDavid in the Edmonton Oilers dressing room after Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final in Florida. Edmonton had lost 4-1, and the Oilers were down two games to none in a series they would eventually lose in seven games."

It was Charles Oakley in 1993 on the back cover of the NY Post. But Oakley made the rounds again a few years back saying the same sort of things.

Good to see some emotion from a player who’s generally been deemed emotionless, this was the Stanley Cup finals after all. When you have a competitive edge it can bring out a whole new level of emotions.

As non Oilers fan I’m not seeing the problem here. Can the Canes room borrow him a few times a season?
This is historically been a common place thing in locker rooms, not one thing odd about it.

You don’t think Crosby has done the same exact thing about 20 times in his career? You’re nuts if you don’t.

I've heard worse from Peewee football coaches at the age of 14.
Is this a generational thing? That seems like a pretty normal reaction for a coach or player in a leadership role after the team lays an egg in a high stakes possibly once in a life time situation.

Lol, at the same age, MJ had never even made the finals and was considered a showboating choke artist who a team would never win with.
honestly I have thought that for years all the young and talented players coming into the league really missed out on learning from the leagues established leaders and top end guys with the players not being allowed to go to the Olympics. You can only be as good as a leader through experience, and if you're a young rebuilding team you do lack solid vets and leadership skills until you learn
