I think Oilers almost coming back but still losing makes it even sweeter. There is a lot of heart break. They were so cocky after game 6. Lol.
Losing team having the MVP is still stupid in my opinion. Its sports writers being too clever. Marty had seven shutouts and still lost.
I'm not a McDavid fan but there is no way he could be expected to come out to receive the award under such circumstances. It really would be just adding insult to injury.What a truly pathetic behavior and he should be ashamed of himself for disrespecting and putting himself before that tradition!
He most likely will not since he himself probably believe in the McJesus and that he’s the ”saviour of the game” hype, but he really should be ashamed…
I know some people said he did not accept it since he didn’t want to steal the spotlight from the Panthers, but that smells bullcrap to me…
I’ll give him that it really is a stupid thing to give it to a member of the losing team. No one would enjoy that moment, not the winner of the trophy, not the winning team and not their fans.I'm not a McDavid fan but there is no way he could be expected to come out to receive the award under such circumstances.

Bettman should have done the right thing and given it to a Panther. McDavid is now cursed to never touch the Stanley Cup (which I sadly take enjoyment in).
Yup.I think Oilers almost coming back but still losing makes it even sweeter. There is a lot of heart break. They were so cocky after game 6. Lol.

I think they got it right this time. Bob gave up 18 goals across 3 games, no way he was going to win it despite having a great game 7. Skinner probably played better overall in the series as much as it pains me to give any Oils a kudos.Strange voting for Conn Smythe.looks like they wouldn't give it to Bobrovskiy in any way .
I'm still trying to find videos from outside the Oils arena after they lost. Anyone?We need a WTS thread, lol.

And Bob didn't gave up 18 goals,3 or 4 were empty netters and Stolarz allowed some after Bobrovsky was pulled i think when score was 5-1McDavid was scoreless in game 6 and 7.I get that he got especially on assists like historic numbers,but still.
I stand corrected...but, he did get pulled from a game which I didn't even mention. Still don't have a problem McD getting the award IF it goes to the best player across the playoffs. That being said, I'd only ever give it to someone on the winning team if I had any say in the rules.And Bob didn't gave up 18 goals,3 or 4 were empty netters and Stolarz allowed some after Bobrovsky was pulled i think when score was 5-1
