IF they were trying to get more eyes on the game, especially in the US they wouldn't be pushing the Oilers.
I hate the Oilers and I think the reffing/calls have been very questionable for years now but this stuff gets a little silly. Yes McDavid dives like crazy and gets calls that aren't real but I don't think it's a conspiracy. It's a double standard.
