However, McDavid has yet to get his hands on the Stanley Cup, and that will always remain a major blemish when discussing his excellence and career so far.
And he seems to know it.
As you probably already know, number 97 is an extremely superstitious person, much like Sidney Crosby, and it was evident during the celebrations on the ice in Boston after Team Canada's victory.
As Marco Normandin wisely pointed out, Connor McDavid made a meaningful gesture at the Four Nations Showdown. Before going further, let's revisit this absolutely incredible moment:
Even though McDavid was obviously thrilled with this victory, it quickly became clear that this is not his ultimate goal, and we can absolutely understand that.
You can also see in the video below that McDavid appears almost uncomfortable holding the trophy in his hands.
He only kept it for a few brief seconds before quickly handing it off to his teammate and MVP, Nathan MacKinnon.
Personally, I don't dislike seeing this, it says a lot about him.
It almost seems like, even just minutes after scoring his overtime goal, he was already thinking ahead and telling himself that the job wasn't finished yet.
A true competitor!
This is the same player who, last spring in Florida, didn't return to the ice to accept his Conn Smythe Trophy.
It seems obvious.
Connor McDavid's one and only goal is the Stanley Cup!
