Just to add to this...
Burrows and Kelser didn't pretend they weren't divers. They did it because a) they could, and b) because it drove the other team crazy. With them, it was entirely above board, and they didn't care if you hated it (in fact, they relished that).
McDavid and Draisaitl - and the entire Oilers organization - actually believe that they are not divers, that the league id out to get them, and that they are somehow 'making things right'. They actually feel self-righteous about the whole thing, and believe that they are the ones taking the moral high ground.
You want to dive? Own it. Like the despicable Canucks did.
But the garbage that we have to put up with now, from McDavid and Draisaitl, from the Oilers, from the league (buying their garbage and actually calling diving penalties on their opposition!), from their fans (pleading the victim card), and most of all from the media, defending them as the honourable team, and calling games from the most biased, one-sided view I have EVER seen from media, is so disgusting and vile, that I actually can look back on Kesler and Burrows with some sort of sick and distorted respect now.
