Love watching the creativity on those Hawks PP entries. Flames should take note.
And F off.

I don't get the obsession with 1 player around the league.
You know what I want to see more of? Focus on the other talented players around the league that we don't get to hear enough about.
Miro Heiskanen, Dominik Kubalik, Matthew Barzal, Mika Zibanejad, Sebastian Aho, Jakub Vrana, Travis Konecny, etc.
The media collectively acts like McDavid deserves to win a Cup simply because he's incredibly talented and fast, completely ignoring the fact that he still doesn't play defense and his leadership amounts to saying "let's go" after an embarrassing loss.

The funny thing is is that McDavid has never led a team to a championship. Didn’t in junior. I guess he was on a world junior team that won a gold. He is a talented and fast player. A great leader? Don’t think so!!

He’s got a point. Look at the NBA for example they don’t push Lebron down everyone’s throat. They show love to every superstar around the league these days.

I mean he almost has as many career points in half the games. Hell he almost had as many points in a third of the games this year. Twice is obviously a hyperbolic stretch.

I’d argue the media pushes the top 5 players of each sport. And if only one of them playing in that game it’s basically a singular focus.

But they don’t just push him in games he’s playing. He’s talked about constantly
Look at it from a non Oiler fan for a moment and understand how much he is rammed down our throats

They should make a rule that you either put the back up in or lose your time out. That was silly.
