I would hazard a bet that this sentiment is probably non-existent outside of HFBoards and stems mostly from fan interaction on these boards.
I also don't mind McDavid not coming out. Personally I don't think he should have won the CS, but in that moment I can see a player not feeling like they deserve it. Could also be the sign of a good leader, not wanting recognition when his team just lost. Win as a team, lose as a team. I'm just kind of happy the NHL let him refuse.

All Bouchard's agent has to do is point to Darnell Nurse and he's got 10M AAV secured for his client next offseason
I don't really get it either. It kind of makes me sad.
I was hoping the Oilers would win, but I didn't want the Panthers to blow a 3-0 lead. That would have been rough. Good for Barkov, good for Maurice.

mcdavid looks weak for not coming out and accepting the CS. jiggy did it on the verge of tears in a sea of booing devils fans. now that's toughness
I cried when I woke up and saw the recap. f*** Edmonton so much, I'm so happy today.
Ehh. They've been good lately. But during the initial rise of Erik Karlsson they were. I think the least flamey way I can put it is they were a difficult fanbase to interact with.
Anyway. Happy for the first time winners. Happier that the Oilers lost and were denied, arguably, the biggest comeback in NHL history.
McDavid looked awful relative to his standards. The double shifting treatment caught up with him at the worst possible time.

What a final, omg. Cannot be more happier as a fan without a horse in the race.
McDavid with a legendary run, given the scoring differences, it should be up for the best playoff performance ever, right?
Saw that Perry and Monty had a long hug and convo at the handshake line. Great to see.
Let's sign Pears and go to the finals next year. We need that size, scoring and right handedness

Me neither. But I think that's more likely for Draisaitl. McDavid was still handling the puck and roving the offensive zone the way he usually does but his timing was off and he got caught or blocked by defenders a lot more often than he usually does. To me it just looked like honest fatigue.
Draisaitl looked like he could barely function. At most he would do a loop behind the net to change positions or get up a few times here and there on the forecheck but past that it was a lot of standing around and waiting for the puck to come to him. I think he probably had a back issue cause he could still skate fine but I could see if it was a radiating pain limiting him. I mean that's just wild speculation but to me he was far less of a positive factor than McDavid in the finals.

If we sign Perry, we make the Finals but lose. Ill take it. Sounds like he is going to continue to play from what they said on the broadcast last night, so we will see who the lucky team is punching their ticket to a Finals loss.
At least Perry has won 1. Can you imagine being known as the guy who made it to 5, 6, 7 Cup Finals never won one?

Fire everyone!
Ehh... I only watched highlights for the first three and then switched to full replays. I almost thought I was the reason why things went the way they did, but I could not have allowed myself to miss Edmonton losing in the SC final 
But really though, I don't even hate the current Oilers that much, I just like the Panthers so much more. Happy for Florida and their fans! A bit sad for Perry though.

That's good good that Ducks team was... they could overcome the curse of Perry. Even McDavid and Drai weren't good enough
So Drai had a broken rib and finger, McD has an abdominal injury that will require surgery
That broken finger makes a lot of sense. His one-timer was just off in that series. He got set up for an easy one (for him, not for any other human being), and he whiffed on it last night. That sucks. So often these series come down to which team is healthier.

Shea Weber being selected for HHOF enshrinement while his contract is still on Utah’s books for 2 more years is strange to me (same thing with Chris Pronger being inducted).

Main boards thread lamenting differences between why Giggy accepted Conn Smythe and McDavid didn't... Hilarious.
