After losing the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Florida Panthers, the Edmonton Oilers' captain had the worst possible excuse for their loss. Everyone who watched the game can agree: the Oilers should've won game one. The only reason they lost is Sergei Bobrovsky, who had his second shutout of the playoffs. All night long, he made key saves to give his team a chance to win: <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/espn/status/1799621752143667568'> </a></blockquote></div> While most players who lose a game due to a hot goalie blame the loss on that fact, Connor McDavid had something else in mind. After the game, he said that the hockey gods weren't with them after they won game six against the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals: <q>Maybe it was the hockey gods getting us back for that Game 6, said McDavid, briefly forcing a smile. You know where we probably didn't deserve to win. Tonight maybe we deserved at least one goal, maybe two goals, and we don't find a way to get them.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BarDown/status/1799654855822450748'> </a></blockquote></div> McDavid knows that his team will bounce back in game two, and said what any good leaders would do in such a situation: <q>I know this group will stick with it, bounce back, that's what we take a lot of pride in doing. We'll gear up for a big one on Monday.</q> Do you like Connor McDavid's excuse for losing game one of the Stanley Cup Finals?
