Panthers hold on and win the Cup. McDavid wins the Conn Smythe, much to the displeasure of the fans. A little odd, given he went scoreless in the two most important games of the playoffs (the last two). Barkov the first Finn to captain a Stanley Cup winner. Former Islander Kyle Okposo gets the Cup after 1051 regular season games.
