According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, After the game, Crosby showed his deep respect for McDavid, not only for his talent, but his work ethic, leadership, and how he carries himself as the best player in the NHL.
He does so much for his team and the league, there's a lot of expectations. If anyone can relate to that, I think it's me. I think knowing what he puts into it, seeing him get rewarded like that, is huge.
I couldn't be happier for him. He cares so much, he's an unbelievable player, he's done a lot already in his career but I'm sure this one feels good, and we needed it.

Following the victory, even Connor McDavid was hesitant on being handed the proverbial torch, emphasizing that Team Canada will always belong to Crosby as long as he's around.
Connor McDavid himself also said that there's no passing of the torch - Crosby and Team Canada will get back together soon for the Olympics.
