When they're doing well, it shouldn't. I imagine they're deflecting any questions from the media with the the usual "Oh, well we gotta find ways to keep winning and we're doing that", end topic. They're riding a big win streak right now and that's a big pressure dampener.
But the moment that the Lightning stumble, or have a really bad blowout loss - especially after a Drouingate update, you bet the media will be all over it "Can you comment on Drouin doing this and that", etc etc. That would get annoying really quickly especially in the context of a losing streak.
