If McDavid is skating around sticking guys, why does he get a pass? If Draisaitl can go around slew-footing players and cup-checking them, why doesn't he ever have to answer the bell?


Well, this is what you get when you have a superstar on your team. The world loves their stars, and what's fair and what's right doesn't always matter any longer. Wideman is 100% right here, and it is something I have been noticing for a long time now, especially with Draisaitl.
Edmontonians are hypocrites, news at 11..

It is rather funny that they heralded Kassian's "heroics" but now are living the other side of it with McDavid baiting without answering the proverbial bell they recently cherished up there.

And yeah, any guy that spears nuts (Leon) is no good.
