Remove the media attention, why do you hate McDavid?

With media attention removed, I don't hate McDavid. He's an elite offensive hockey player and it's enjoyable to watch him create offense. He'd never be one of my personal favorite players, though, because my favorite players are guys who are (or should be) candidates for the Selke, not the Art Ross.

I didn't say the Tkachuks weren't/aren't good hockey players. All three were/are good enough to play for Team USA in world competitions.

-Keith scored 1 GWG in 89 career playoff games his entire career.
-Matthew scored 0 GWG in 27 career playoff games in Calgary. Credit to him for finally showing up in the playoffs in Florida recently - with 4 playoff GWGs last year and 1 this year.
-Brady hasn't even been to the playoffs yet.

Claude had 19 career playoff GWGs - including Cup clinchers. His name has been etched on the Cup 4 times.
3 Tkachuks, 6 career playoff GWGs (5 of those recently by Matthew), 0 combined Cups.

So yeah, when I say "at least Claude showed up big for his team in big playoff situations and the Tkachuks tend to blend into the crowd in those situations", that's what I'm talking about.

Now fuck you both for making me kinda defend Claude and fuck Claude. I need to go wash my hands now.

Matthew now has more cups than Lemieux did at the same age.
