But I do think physicality does throw him off, which is strange for someone who's a relatively big guy. I think thats what TC is getting at.
He can and does fight through a fair amount, but also embellishes a lot. The refs probably could call more infractions on McDavid (they already call a lot), but they would also have to start calling him more for embellishing. I don't think the NHL wants their golden boy getting that reputation, and I doubt the Oilers want him sitting in the penalty box all the time.
