What a lot of revisionist historical nonsense. I like Brian Burke, but I hate how willing he is to overlook obvious and repeated instances of McBaby's well worn pattern of whining that he gets away with because of his stature within the sport.

Everytime you look at Connor he's crying to the refs, he's the biggest suck out there.
Its pretty sad that the media is making a lot of mileage out of three clean hits and a interference penalty at worst to villanize the Flames.
You know who should be villianized. The freaking Oilers for destroying prospects and disgracing the NHL They should have been relegated to woman's roller derby years ago.
I'll be glad if the Flames get a regional contract so we don't have to listen to these morons again.
Tkachuk gets cross checked from behind into the boards, and nothing. I get it, Connors the golden boy, but to sit here and listen to Oiler fans bitching about the reffing and the media taking up the cause is beyond the pale ridiculous. that team it feels like gets more late game management powerplays then anyone else.
This was a media base and fanbase that was actively promoting that a player should be beat down and to some extent injured or the Oilers should be allowed to retaliate against other Flames players with a straight face.
Its actually unprofessional and disgusting. Treliving should call a press conference and say, after the media's and especially Sportsnets conduct. No more between period interviews, or access to the dressing rooms after the game. they can show up for questions at practice and we'll appoint a players spokes person for 5 minutes. Ward should come out and Torts the Sportsnet guys. "Sorry you ask stupid questions and you outright villified a player on our team so I'm not answering you're questions"
