All sports broadcasters in all leagues have a mandate to pump up the superstars. It’s why CBS, FOX, etc. gush about Patrick Mahomes. And why the NBA and its broadcasters won’t shut up about Giannis.

There’s no conspiracy. As long as he’s the biggest star in the NHL, the media will gush about McDavid every chance they get. And when Bedard tops the scoring race, they’ll move on to raving about him in every broadcast. It’s their job.

I can’t imagine how much people around here would have griped about unfairness back when Gretzky was suiting up for the Oilers. How dare SNL invite Gretzky to host the show instead of Hakan Loob!
