I don’t think he’s an Oiler’s fanboy, per se. He’s more of a prostitute.
He frequently trends towards salacious stories that will provide more clicks from Oiler or Leafs fans like the salivating dogs that they are.
He also treads lightly on or fellates both franchises because his employer partially owns one of them. The other franchise is notoriously so thin skinned that they will restrict player availability (mainly Connor McDavid) to certain media members, or at the least threaten to, if they feel anyone is too critical (which in actuality is just being factual).
They can do this because their fanbase is a captured market in a dump of a city with nowhere to go and nothing else to do.
Remember, Friedman is employed to sell advertising for Rogers.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Eyeballs are eyeballs to a prostitute. At the end of the day, the penchant him & his colleagues have to kiss the feet of the Oilers to enhance player access will be remembered.
All of the ravings.
All of compliments.
All of the forecasts.
All of the predictions.
The lack of criticism.
The lack of reality.
The avoidance of any perception of negativity.
By pandering to a joke of a franchise Friedman and his fellow prostitutes become a joke.
