Connor McDavid wasn't in a celebratory mood on Monday night when he became the sixth player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe Trophy following the Edmonton Oilers' 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Speaking to reporters after the game, McDavid explained it "sucks" to lose the Stanley Cup before trying to contextualize his individual honor.
"Yeah, obviously, I guess it's an honor. With the names on that trophy. But ... yeah," he said.
The Oilers forced a Game 7 against the Panthers by winning three straight games after falling into an 0-3 hole in the series.
