Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid celebrated his team’s victory over the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final by lifting the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, a departure from the superstition of avoiding contact with it. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced she won’t renew a friendly wager with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, referencing McDavid’s decision to touch the trophy this year, hoping it brings better luck. The Oilers face the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final, with both teams adhering to superstitions surrounding trophy handling as they aim for the championship.
