“You have to keep calling the door,” I said. “We pursued all the games in this series, and that is a difficult way to play hockey against that team. It was the story of the whole series, but the fourth goal, Connor’s goal … The album bounces in the neutral area, is coming out of the bank, that is not missing that. The game is over.”
In the celebration of the Oilers after the game, McDavid made sure to play the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, the trophy awarded to the champion of the West Conference; Last year, superstitiously chose not to touch it, but they lost in the Stanley Cup final.
