A sad scene occurred following the match, involving Connor McDavid, which quickly made the rounds on the web for more than one reason. Firstly, despite the sharp pain of defeat in a closely contested Game 7, number 97 was the first player to partake in the famous handshake on the Oilers' side. This gesture speaks volumes about him, respecting his opponents' achievements and the traditions. However, it was another even more symbolic gesture that struck fans right in the heart. After the handshake, the captain waited near the exit for the rest of his team to give them encouragement during these difficult times. <q>«Connor McDavid waited for every Oilers player to pass through the handshake line before leaving the ice.»</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1805437041930641549'> </a></blockquote></div> The moment when McDavid and Corey Perry met was a very emotional one for both men, who couldn't lift the precious trophy at the very last moment. It's a real shame for Connor, who gave everything in this series, scoring 42 points in 23 games, and becoming the first player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy for a losing team since Jean-Sébastien Giguère in 2003. At 27, it remains the only accomplishment missing from his already exceptional resume. However, we have no doubt that he will eventually manage to get his hands on the Stanley Cup sooner or later in his career.
