For the first time since 2003, the Conn Smythe Trophy has been awarded to a member of the losing team.
After the Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup on Monday, Oilers star Conor McDavid was given the award for an outstanding performance in the playoffs.
McDavid finished the postseason with 42 points—eight goals and 34 assists—across 25 games played.
In front of a Panthers crowd, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was met with a rain of boos from the crowd after he announced McDavid had won the coveted award.
