McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers have also had the heartbreak of losing a Game 7 with a championship on the line, for them, the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers captain said he felt for the Blue Jays, who lost 5-4 in 11 innings to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the deciding game of the Series on Saturday in Toronto. Not only did the Blue Jays lose the game, they led 3-0 early and were two outs away from the championship only to see the Dodgers take it away. “It was a historic moment and I couldn’t be more gutted for those guys,” McDavid said Saturday after a 3-2 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks at Rogers Place. “Obviously we know what that feels like, and for it to happen the way it happened, I’m just completely gutted for those guys. It was a fun run, they’ve given Canada a lot to cheer about and they should be very, very proud of themselves.”
