I wrote this in the McDavid and Drai thread. Most people think I am crazy for ever saying a bad word about the almighty... but I no one is willing to criticize this dude.. makes me nuts.

I have been saying for a long time that I do not like McDavid's leadership. I do not like his interference, I do not like his "all about getting me a cup" attitude, I do not like his interviews where he just looks like it is all beneath him and he just spouts cliches.

I do not like that he disappears in the final

I do not like that he doesn't play a lick of defence, but then gets pissy when asked why.

I do not like that he doesn't dominate in the big moments - just in the "it doesn't matter" moments.

I do not like that structures do not apply to him - every system we have already revolves around him and then he doesn't even follow it.

I do not like that he has never captained a championship team in his entire career except two meaningless tournaments.

Enjoy McDavid... because as long as we have him - we will not get a cup.
While this guy is not wrong, I think he also needs to touch a little grass.

Yeah, with McDavid you're probably not winning any Cups, or maybe you get lucky, but WITHOUT McDavid? You're only sniffing the #### stench of Edmonton and not the NHL Playoffs in the first place.

Yeah, maybe this is as good as it gets...but its still way better for Oilfans than the alternative.
