This is the problem when you're employing these fanboy journalists who are heavily personally invested in the club and its fortunes beyond the gig. They take their Oilers a little too seriously, now to where results transcend other life issues that affect these players as much as you or me - mental health, family issues, even the birth of children has been called in question on Twitter, which is asinine.

This is why mcdavid in all likelihood can't wait to cut ties with that toxic dump. Its a small world with nothing else going on, everybody is way too close to their work and ####s where they eat. It's a repulsive culture that blows up a game meant for entertainment to being bigger than life, all in the name of soothing their community's pervasive inferiority complex.
