But seriously, Gaudreau gets slashed almost every shift. When they complain about McDavid half the time it's because someone managed to control him in a one on one physical battle, like happens between players all the time.
This is probably a good example of both the Oiler fans overreacting to non-calls, as many of them are whatever plays, but also the legitimate gripes they do have:



Take a look at the one at 16 seconds. It's almost like the refs were trying to decide if it was a penalty or penalty shot and forgot to call either.
