The Canadian media is championing the Oilers because they’re Canada’s best shot at the Cup. Canadian media went bananas for the Flames back when the Red Mile was going on. There’s nothing conspiratorial about their promotion of the Oilers. Want more attention from the Canadian media? Be a better team.
As for McDavid, well no #### the best player in the game gets lots of attention. That’s how pro sports works. And actually the NHL comes under a lot of criticism for not promoting its stars enough compared to other pro leagues. McDavid doesn’t get anywhere near the media coverage he would get if he was the top player in the NFL or NBA in an American market.
