The Edmonton Oilers were one win away from joining a rare fraternity in sports history, but they couldn't finish the job, leaving Connor McDavid's fiancée 'heartbroken.'
The Edmonton Oilers were this close to making history. The Oilers became the 10th team in NHL history to force a Game 7 after trailing three games to none, but they couldn't finish the job. The Florida Panthers held on, avoiding embarrassment and holding onto a 2-1 victory on Monday night to win their first Stanley Cup.
Despite the loss, Oilers superstar Connor McDavid was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner, given to the MVP of the entire playoffs. McDavid became the first Conn Smythe winner from the team to lose the Cup Final since Mighty Ducks of Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastian Gigeure in 2003, after they lost to the New Jersey Devils. McDavid's fiancée, Lauren Kyle, posted an in-memoriam of the Oilers season on her Instagram story.
