Singh thinks he’s doing the hyper focus extra justice with the “McDaviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid” call? MacLean actually said we’ll be right back to the McDavid show.
I mean come on. It’s sickening. It just is.

I mean if you watch basketball, it's the exact same with LeBron whenever the Lakers play. It's the same with Tom Brady in football whenever the Bucs play. This is kind of just how sports market their best players.
McDavid is the kind of player who gets fans interested in the sport. He's electric. Literally every other fanbase recognizes this. Heck, we have a thread on the front page right now praising Sidney Crosby... bet some Flyers fans would find that sickening.
