Connor McDavid won Conn Smythe Trophy despite Stanley Cup loss to Panthers

A few days ago, the Edmonton Oilers almost won the Stanley Cup. They forced a Game 7 after losing three games to the Florida Panthers. A win would have been huge for the Oilers. It would have made captain Connor McDavid's wedding year even more special.

However, the Oilers lost 2-1 to Florida in Game 7. Despite this, McDavid won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. He scored 42 points, just five shy of Wayne Gretzky's record set in 1985. McDavid is the second skater to win the Conn Smythe on a team that lost in the final, after Reggie Leach in 1976.

Despite not winning the Stanley Cup, Connor McDavid set new records in his first finals appearance. He scored four points in two consecutive Stanley Cup finals games.
