Jagr was pretty hated as well.

Seems like a very NHL thing to hate on the best player until their skills start to decline and then everyone heaps praise on them.
Hit a sore spot, I see.

At least you indirectly admit to McDavid not having much going for him personality-wise. But attributing it to a "best player effect" is lame and dismissive.

Whining on the ice is something every nhl has indulged in at some point in the heat of the game. But that's not nearly as scathing of a "negative" as the long list any casual, non-oiler, third-party observer could come up with from a short period of naturalistic observation of McDavid.

You guys bear your souls and dollars to a guy who doesn't appear to have to much DNA variation from Dahmer.

No offense.
