Look I get it, you have to take a goodnatured distraction swipe to pull attention away from your generational leader once again doing a lame flyby when he doesn't have the puck. He's pretty good at that.
Frankly, if I had a team that was desperate for points, and my so called generational leader was doing that, I'd be questioning whether he was playing for his team, the playoffs, or himself.
I mean I'm pretty sure that the Oilers have spoiled him a bit, telling him how awesome he is, how his shoulder tap "Lets go" speech was generationally inspirational, that its ok sweetheart, lets go get you a trophy, that its ok to leave practice early while the team is in the middle of a losing streak and he does.
But man, I don't know, if the Flames ever drafted first over all and picked up a generational player, I'd have some pretty high expectations of him in the old heart and effort column.
But maybe its just me, and I don't get it, maybe having a superstar player on a horrible team winning individual trophies is enough.
