I would really like to know if it is the producer or Maclean or someone else that is really driving the Oiler narrative. It isn't like viewers don't know it is happening. I get they want a marquee player playing, but that team is atrocious and isn't remotely built for the playoffs. Maybe if they Leah Hextall'ed it, and had some intellectual honesty, if would force the Oilers to get better. Rather than try to push a narrative that helps the team (i.e. playoff penalty standard) or not bring up circumstances in game that by calling it out, would negatively impact the oilers.
