A number of us are just sick and tired of the completely unnecessary, over-the-top 24-hour/day McDavid media circus.

Okay fair enough. Comparisons to Gretzky are obviously absurd and deserve to have eyes rolled at them, and I do, but he's clearly on his way to being the best player in the league.
The Flames are going to have to deal with him for years, and it would be nice to have someone throw him off his game.
Maybe I don't pay enough attention to league-wide hockey media so I don't see the 24-hour/day McDavid media circus.
It's always excruciating watching an Oilers broadcast (including that little bit they just had about how the WSJ is here to bring him to the non-sport fan masses, which is clearly nonsense) but otherwise I guess I don't see it.
