The Oilers have spent years priming the media for the "everyone is against us" and the "Flames are so dirty" that's it's just accepted as a fact by many and has seeped into the game calls now.

Also, desperate Sportsnet wants the ratings bump too. They got owned so bad on the past TV deal that they’ll do anything for more viewers. So they’ll talk endlessly about McDavid at the behest of Rogers even if it alienates the rest of the teams.
I know one thing, no chance I watch the Oilers if they move on to the next round. Here’s one viewer they won’t be getting with all the Vladimir Puti ...I mean Sportsnet’s “McDavid propaganda.”
