Connor McDavid made a significant gesture on the ice after his team's loss
The captain of the Edmonton Oilers, Connor McDavid, made a significant gesture after his team's defeat in the Stanley Cup final last night.
Today, everyone is talking about another gesture he made, refusing to accept his Conn Smythe Trophy.
However, let's now talk about what he did before leaving the ice.
Connor McDavid made a true captain's gesture
While he is being criticized by many this morning, and while some analysts are questioning his judgment and leadership, here is a scene that says a lot.
«Connor McDavid waited until every Oilers player finished the handshake line before leaving the ice.
He gave it his all.»
What a beautiful moment, especially with Corey Perry towards the end of the video.
It's beautiful, but it breaks your heart at the same time to see them so devastated by the defeat.
In any case, despite the sharp pain of the loss, despite the disappointment, and despite the fact that he must have been eager to leave the ice, McDavid waited for all his teammates.
Number 97 was the first player to take part in the famous handshake line on the Oilers' side, and he was the last to leave the ice.
Connor McDavid acted as a true captain last night after the defeat, and he was anything but a player lacking class.
Hopefully, this will calm the harsh critics he faces today.
