Theres no way players, are, or will be angry at Leon as you suggested. Look back at your post and its elevated reaction.

Look, I get that fans get frustrated at players. But to me it was ALWAYS a bad look for fans to be critical of Gretzky, Kurri, Coffey etc. There was always some fans that would, but I would call it out then just as I am now.

I look at players like that as gifts. My preference is to enjoy those gifts.

Where we've always differed on this is I consider greatness differently, and I'm beholden to it, I refuse to cross examination greatness. Great players do their service over and above. I'm grateful if we have some players like that. I don't keep clamoring for the greatest players in the game to get greater..

And you are, of course entitled to your opinion.
But I see it as this --
If Leon Draisaitl or even McD continues this trend, we will never mold into a championship team. It will be as it was last year. Two superstars and nothing else.

As great as any one player is, he is never above the team. FTR I want Leon out there for all 5 mins of OT! But it is simply counterproductive and wrong.

Anyway - cheers man. Chat after game. Enjoy!
