The flip side of it - he just lost. This wasn’t the trophy he wanted.
And the fans in the building want to see their team lift the Cup. No need to inject himself in to the proceedings, when nobody really wants to see it
I don’t see the need to sass him for this.
He made history. First skater *ever* to be on a team that came back from down 3-0 to force a game 7 in the finals but then lose, and to still win the Conn Smythe.
First ever guy to be second place for all time points in a playoff season and to be on the team that was second place in the finals.
No need to crap on him. He is number 1 at being number 2!
