How about bringing up how Backlund is playing so well against McDavid, instead of bringing up how disciplined McDavid is for not retaliating? No, McDavid is and never was "unstoppable" - He has had plenty of outings against the Flames where he didn't register a point, and outside of skating exceptionally fast, did absolutely nothing else of note. Bring him up when he does something wonderful (which is often enough usually), but sing his praises ALL GAME LONG when his line is getting out-played.

That is exactly what made it more annoying than usual. I mean sure, he is a great player and he is going to have great moments during the game, but he wasn't the best player on the ice last night over the course of the game. You wouldn't realize that based on how much they go on and on about him. They want so badly for him to be the best player 100% of the time, so when he isn't, they have to pretend that he is.
I actually would have been fine if a tripping call was called on McDavid in addition to his penalty, but he was running the goalie regardless. If a player is making a run at the goalie, they should expect to get impeded.
