Was it really necessary for Ron "Oilers Intern" MacLean to use first names in this exact context?

"Is Leon to Connor the same as Mark to Wayne in those great 80s Oiler teams?"

He then launched into some reminiscence about a playoff series from 1983/4 which, by my calculations, was 1 playoff series out of 495 since then?

And then to have Elliotte Friedman launch into some Leafs story...a team that wasn't even in this round!

I feel for the Ottawa fans; they get nowhere near the fawning and backrubs that the SNET and other media outlets give to the greasers.

And leafs v greasers? what about sens or flames or habs?

I think that the oilers had a good run, but the media coverage from supposed NHL cheerleaders, not Oiler propagandists, and their collective disappointment today and into the future, will be salty enough to turn Lake Ontario into the Red Sea.

People wonder why the Greasers are hated so much? Blame the media.
