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!

Yes, but honestly I don't ever remember panels gushing over Iggy in his prime like they do with McD.
And Iggy was so easy to love, checked all the right boxes. Sports broadcasting has changed.
