Here's the golden goal you've been waiting for — McDonald's is now McDavid's!The fast food giant has officially rebranded two of its locations in Canada, including one in Newmarket, to "McDavid's" in honour of Connor McDavid's heart-stopping overtime goal that led Team Canada to victory at the 4 Nations Face-off last month.In a tweet last summer, McDonald's Canada made a bold promise to the Edmonton Oilers captain during the team's Stanley Cup playoff run, writing, "ok @cmcdavid97 how about this… if you bring the cup back to Canada we'll turn an Edmonton McD's into a McDavid's.
