I was excited when Iggy got traded to the Pens for a chance in the playoffs and to see them both on the same team. It would be nice to be able to cheer for McDavid. His skills are unreal, but he is tainted by playing for a garbage organization with a culture that makes them impossible to like and that stains the players too. I can watch that goal and recognize that it was a beauty, but I can't feel excited for him and the idea of cheering for him just grosses me out. I don't know what it will be like in the Beijing Olympics when we have to watch him in a Canada jersey.

Plus is it playing for the Oilers that makes him so whiny? The fan base up there makes sure he thinks he is a Saint that can do no wrong at all times.
And count me in as a guy who cringed at Johnny whining even though I cheer for the Flames. I'm glad he has toned it down this year especially.
But watching Conor flop around or complain to the refs about everything is getting very very old.
