It is also shining a light on the type of personality (or lack there of) McDavid is. The entitlement is over the top. Every other star had to fight through a lot more that what McDavid has.
The worst of it is that city and organization has painted themselves into a corner because they have wasted almost 10 years of his career and have doubled down.
I hope that the act is starting to wear on the refs and they stop giving him the leeway they have. I also don't think the NHL likes being put on the spot, but the McDavid angle won't matter as much to them if the Rangers make the finals. At this point they are probably just counting the days until they can have a marketable super star.
