Also, McDavid not coming out for the Conn Smyth was pretty lame, and not a good look for the league considering it was their poster boy. The Conn Smyth is part of the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Even though it's an individual trophy it's an honor to win that especially as a player from the team that didn't win the cup, very uncommon.
If another player refused to come out and accept it they would be getting a lot more heat but because it's McDavid I keep hearing "Oh that's just cause he's a great captain, didn't want to leave the boys, etc." Nah, as the face of the NHL you should be used to that kind of responsibility, just seemed like a sore loser moment. And I'm here for it!
