I have a distant memory of the Flames shadowing 99 back in the 80's to negate his contribution to the game. Everywhere 99 went the Flames player went as well. IIRC, the Flames player was never farther than a couple of strides from 99.
I wonder if the Flames should take this approach with McDavid. Remove/frustrate him and Mulletville has nothing.
