Those were the least consequential games of the series, because Edmonton were still likely to lose the series, and had the smallest impact in terms of odds on who would win the series.

They were elimination games, they are the same consequence as games 6 & 7. You win or you go home.
From Edmonton's perspective, yes. But not from Florida's, which is why from taking a step back and just looking at how a single game affects the chance one team or the other would win the series, game 4 was clearly the least important.

Uh huh, I see you're not acknowledging any of the facts I brought up for you.
McDavid will be back in the Finals soon enough to complete the job.
you keep on believing that. By the way, the Final is part of the playoffs. He feasted on a weak Western Conference but couldn’t get it done against a better team.

He deserved it. Any bickering beyond that point is nil. Without #97 they dont have a team, really.

Interesting question. The last two times someone on the losing team won the Conn Smythe...

not accepting the trophy is a gangster move, he knows what trophy he is after and it isn't this one
still tho, Bob should have won it. He shut the door on them. Only allows 1 goal in game 7, was huge in the beginning games of the series, and outdueled Vasi, Swayman and Shesterkin.

Even though McDavid earned the CS, it was really poor sportsmanship not to come out to accept it. Akin to not shaking hands with the opponent.
I wonder if Bettman even let McDavid know he won. He was awful quick in mentioning it and moving on to the Stanley Cup presentation. It's like Bettman didn't even want McDavid out there to be ridiculed by the Florida fans.

The Florida Panthers fans booing was a pretty big downer for me in an otherwise happy moment.
Should show respect in that moment and not act like a bunch of whiny teenagers.

He absolutely should not have come out for the trophy. Shoes determination.

That's not even close to the same.
Someone extremely emotional they were so close to the ultimate team award outside of an olympic gold medal not going out to celebrate an Individual award after losing is nothing like saying "F them" and refusing the post series handshake

It would be, however, there are always those who would argue the point just for the sake of arguing so I did not use that number.
Have an amazing day!!!

The media still manages to give McDavid a consolation prize.
Should've gone to Barkov for shutting his ass down for almost half the Finals.

I'm genuinely shocked by the roasting of McDavid after he just put up one of the most historical runs in NHL history , like what am I reading here? Are all of you guys just trolls and homer fans of only your team? Do you guys not enjoy the sport?

I feel like the finals really lost it for Bob (even in terms of second place), which is wild. He had the same # of stinkers as McD did (3). And his game 1 performance vs McD's game 5 performance is a wash.

Glenn Hall got it mailed to him two weeks after the game.

He also feasted on the Cup Champs.
This is such a dumb take. He doesn't care about himself or his awards. It shows he cares about his team and the single most important team award.

Ignorant fans. Pretending that Edmonton isn't just McDavid and Draisaitl. Heck Draisaitl was invisible most of the series and didn't have a goal.
The narrative of 'whoever the winning team is should get the CS' is so dumb. This series came down to a single goal and McDavid made a few plays that almost tied it.

A very well deserved win, and I hope it breaks the idea that the winning team must have it. I know it's happened before but with goalies, which is a different thing. Goalies are a central player and they can be the focus of an entire team in a very visible way. It's also common for goalies to steal the show in a losing effort if the winning team is much better but the series manages to get to game 6 or 7
Also him not coming out to get it doesn't matter. The moment belonged to the Panthers. I suppose they could have shown him posing with it later but are we really arguing about a photo op?
