Pretty much this. Media guys aren’t fans of teams, except maybe the team they grew up supporting. If they do pretend to be fans of a team, it’s to drive engagement.
Seravelli is not an Oilers fan. But if antagonizing Canucks and Flames fans gets people talking about his segments, then that’s a win for him.
