This was very un-McDavid like but I liked it. The league is a business and the players are the employees. The bosses run the NHL but it's the players who do the work. They understand what it takes to be successful at their jobs which then makes the entire business and League successful. McDavid wasn't trying to call out the officials but what he was doing is putting some attention on the overtime goalie interference call. Have a look at it. A closer look to see if it's the right call. If it is, we move on but if it's not, let's do something about it.
McDavid is not one to draw attention to himself.
Let me re-word that: McDavid does draw attention to himself by what he does and not by what he says.
It's not his style. He's a very respectful young man to the game and its history. However, I think as he grows into his role as a captain of one team and face of the League it is important for him to speak up when it's necessary. Not all the time but only some of the time.
In fact, when the time is right, his words might make a difference. Over the next few days while in Tampa Bay the Pacific Division captain need not worry about any controversy. It's all about enjoyment, hanging with family and chilling poolside if time permits.
Hopefully, McDavid, the Oilers and all of you enjoy the All-Star Break.
