CONNOR MCDAVID IS YOUR CONN SMYTHE WINNER
A performance for the ages. 👏

McDavid was held scoreless for the final two games of the Stanley Cup Final but despite this, setting records was enough for him to win the Conn Smythe.
Panthers fans were upset that Sergei Bobrovsky was not awarded the Conn Smythe but Bobrovsky will certainly trade a Conn Smythe for a Stanley Cup any day.
