I think it's hilarious how much incidental contact McDavid creates when he tries to force his way through traffic, and then the fans call for penalties because McDavid was impeded from going from point A to point B without being touched. Like every opposing player is supposed to leap out of the way when McDavid is carrying the puck.
He should totally keep playing that way. It's one of the things that makes him so good (being able to maintain possession while brushing off of players), but you can't call incidental contact initiated by the puck carrier. Oiler fans and McDavid fanboys cannot seem to comprehend that. If anything, McDavid gets away with too much.
