Calling it a "special night" because he gets to watch McBaby, and compared it to the experience of watching Gretzky and Lemieux -- two gifted players, but also terrific leaders with sky-high GAF, not to mention multiple-time champions -- in their prime? Come ON, man.
Makes me think Sportsnet has some kind of corporate line to BJ the Oilers and to market the hell out of McDavid. Why don't they get that the rest of the country can't stand them -- and that McDavid is just a supremely talented, super-selfish bonehead?

I heard the opening part where Hrudey and Ball were talking and Kelly started to wax poetically about McAvi and Rai and I took my headphones off (yes - I yell WAY louder than the TV would be when the Flames score LOL - but it keeps the peace in the house). I *far* prefer to watch the games on "silent" and just absorb the action. Either that or watching on a streaming site where I can get the other feed, and that's fun too.
But anything to avoid Cassie, Kelly or DeBrusk on an Oilers game.
