Just my opinion: This is a fair question given the uniqueness of the situation as well as they are two very important players in the league. I also have no issue with Wings PR stepping in here.

It's an interesting media dynamic.

A gutted Nathan MacKinnon: "You be the judge of who was the better team today."

Honestly if you’re an American celebrating that win you’re a casual who doesn’t know puck. Totally fine, grow the game.
