I honestly think the networks want it back to the Gretzky years. Non contact on the elite player who racks up crazy points. The networks love it, and the player becomes the team just like the NBA. The refs can get in on the action to to make sure the right team wins. We can watch the same team win 4 years in a row, it would be amazing, and I won’t watch.

The strangest part of that whole "segment" (and it was one of the weirder ones ever) was that the point Bieksa started with the boat analogy is that the bigger boat has the "right of way". OK...lets take that at face value and apply it to McJesus coming in on Markstrom.
McDavid is 6'1 200lbs
Markstrom is 6'6" 255 lbs
So Markstrom had the right of way......yet the panel, and especially Maclean, took it the other way saying McBlowthezone was in the right as the bigger ship.
Just a dumpster fire of analysis and could not have come to a more incorrect conclusion.
Hilarious.
