Changing of the times. Ever since Rogers bought the NHL rights it's been treated more of business. Ratings were down and they were losing money on their investment and now they are trying to sell the product to Canadians. Rogers badly needs the Oilers to get into the 3rd round so the McDavid hype can at least hold on to the few remaining viewers in the Toronto area that didn't tune out once the Leafs were eliminated. All we have heard all playoffs was the Matthews (until they were eliminated), McDavid, and Karlsson love fest. If you never watched these playoff games or read stat lines you would assume that McDavid and Karlsson have been by far the best players in the playoffs but the truth is that Getzlaf has been the playoff MVP so far and the best defenseman has been Ryan Ellis.
