I wonder how McDavid processes this internally over the off season. I would think for actual leaders in his position, they would look at their counterpart on the other team, see how Toews played the game for his team in the playoffs and focus on becoming a more complete player for next season. In Edmonton's organizational culture though, I would think it's pretty likely that he sees his 9 points and feels sorry for himself as he believes he did all that could be expected of him this year. Maybe he'll set his target on getting 3ppg next year.

If McDavid ever does learn to become a complete playoff performer, like Toews, Crosby or Yzerman, he'll likely spend less time crying and more time celebrating, but in that team's culture I doubt he ever learns to make that change. In Oilers culture, chasing scoring titles will still be the number one goal.
