Oiler fans don't deserve him, at all. It's like they can't comprehend that hockey is a team sport and one player cannot win you every game. What a bunch of losers.

1. Its not basketball.
2. They're not wrong.
McDavid is not his normal self. But man...it would be an interesting experiment to add up all of his minutes over the past few seasons, even them out and figure out how many actual games he'd have played over that time.
You cant just keep throwing him out there, PP, PK, OT, 5-on-5 and the guy is playing 25+ minutes a night, night after night and then fans sit back and think...'where is the magic?'
We joke that McDavid looks like a meth addict, but he looks like the Walking Dead. They just ride and ride and ride and at some point, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but at some point every ride stops.
