It's funny how they believe there are conspiracies against them, while most fans outside of Edmonton would believe that there is work being done behind the scenes in their favour (to get McDavid deep).
I feel like the team is flawed as is and without the auto-PPs that come from players touching/grazing the golden boys they would struggle to even have anywhere as much success as they have had, which is limited.
The officiating is a lot less generous towards most other teams. They get the kids gloves treatment and still complain it isn't fair.
Without it, they probably lose the penalty tally most games because their team is (newsflash!) full of dirty and low IQ players who lack discipline.
Last game alone, Ryan spears a guys crotch, Kane slewfoots in the corner, and McDavid slices Hughes face open without penalty.
If they were actually called on their ####, which they aren't, there'd be a whole lot more to cry about up there.
