That seems to be a big part of it. Even before this incident some folks on CP were extremely defensive about criticism of McKenna's play, to a degree I've never seen for an undrafted prospect before.

I expect if the Flames were in playoff spot, or McKenna had already been drafted by the Canucks or Blues, he wouldn't have nearly as many defenders here. But 'could wind up a Flame' seems to have led some fans to circle the wagons.
