I can't stand McDavid either, but I think he did the right thing, and I would have been absolutely shocked to see him come out and accept it. Bro the not accepting is a slap in the face to the award itself, It should be an honor and be treated like one. Be grateful. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a long list of players that have won this trophy. You know Bobby Orr you know guys like that. That maybe won the cup as well as the conn smyth. But entitlement issues weren’t a thing back then. Had mcwhiner won the cup he would blazed a Trail to the podium. He’s got lots of class. Unfortunately for him it’s all second! yeah, he would have. but instead he was devastated with the rest of his teammates and did the only thing that a reasonable person would expect him to do.

When things gets difficult it’s important to demonstrate to your teammates that failing to meet adversity head on is the right choice. Cope. it's important to demonstrate that solidarity in loss with your teammates is more important than accepting an individual award. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, this really mattered to you. Let's look at it this way, say it was Kesler in 2011 instead of Mcbaby. You think anyone would give him a pass? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyone Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 first and only game that I've watched since OUR game 7. loved every second of it. alas, there is no joy in Oil-ville.....mighty Connor HAS.STRUCK.OUT. I hope that the league fines McDoofus for not showing up on the ice to accept his consolation trophy.... but alas, he was too busy being pissy in the showers. Proves what a poor example of a captain he is. Man up. Take the good with the bad. A REAL man knows how to win, AND lose. There's 3 months to cry over spilled milk before next season, buck up and at least skate out, shake Gary's hand... let them take a photo or 2 , then you can go back and cry in the shower. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something needs to spur this kid to man up sooner or later. staying in the room with other devastated players is weak ! Piss poor example period! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think anyone would give him a pass? I absolutely would have, but that was also on home ice, so a different story. it would have given the fans a chance to salute him. edit: and I would say it mattered far less to me than it does all the hyenas frothing at the mouth to tear McDavid apart.

So when he leaves his team that's skating off the ice to celebrate wiining game 7 vs Canucks to go be interviewed individually? While our team was having a moment of solidarity with their fans? Spin it however you like, he was sulking and it wasn't about his team. He couldn't face the music because, in his words, they expected to win. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been selfish and this just shows it more. One wouldn’t want to stoop with likes of the names attached to this trophy. Ya he’s not showing any disservice to any of those guys. Naw not at all Edited June 25 by Chon derry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
