, hockey-mad Edmonton and the rest of the nation that gave birth to the sport left to wait at least another year for another NHL champion.
The team's hopes were riding on McDavid, who was held without a point in the Game 7 loss but was brilliant though much of the series and was expected to become just the sixth player to get the Conn Smythe Trophy as the series MVP in a losing effort and just the second skater . The next parade through the streets of Edmonton will have to wait, a blow to the many fans who made the long trek to Sunrise and tens of thousands of others who packed the “Moss Pit" outside Rogers Place. Many of them made up the raucous sellout crowd of 18,000-plus that helped will the Oilers to avoiding a sweep in Game 4 and then again in Game 6 to push them to the verge of accomplishing something not done since World War II.
