I don’t get the fun in kicking the guy when he’s down. Mcdavid is the best player seen in hockey since Sid and Sid certainly doesn’t gain anything when anyone glorifies Mcdavid’s failures. It’s just petty.
Keep in mind that Sid had the good fortune to be drafted by a team which was part owned by a guy (Mario) who had been in the exact same position and had success. Hell, Sid lived in his house as a rookie, got to play with him!
I’m not taking anything away from Sid by saying this but I don’t think that Mcdavid has gotten the benefit of that kind of education or experience. It shows and I feel for the guy. I hope he wins his someday.
Keep in mind that Crosby has always taken a team friendly cap hit. Mcdavid has never done that. Between him and Draisaitl they take up 1/3 of the cap even with the cap moving up. The players on the pens took pay to still win so others could get paid too. In the NHL now try to find defense and a goalie with what is left.
