The Oilers brass complaining which I bet they do, won't change anything. McDavid himself has to say something to embarrass the league. He has to not take the high road like he does and call out the league. Call out the fact he was kneed. Call out the fact Demelo low bridged him which was EXACTLY what Archibald did to Stanley who's a plug and not the face of the league. He will get fined. So take the fine.
What is the most pathetic part of the NHL's stance is they say "we want the players to decide games, not the refs". Well the refs are deciding the games by not calling stuff. When a player is allowed to tackle a player as was the case with Leon that happened last game then physically LAY on Leon but not calling that, you the refs are impacting the game. Laying on top of a guy not letting him get up isn't playing good defense, you are allowing cheating.

McDavid saying anything won't have any more impact than anyone else saying anything. Crosby did it early on in his career and he got labeled a whiner. This is exactly how the league wants it to be. Ray Whitney said it: when he played he took a lot of abuse and he takes pride in putting the onus on the skill players to be able to take a hit. And that's the guy they hired to provide the 'clean' players perspective.
Where I do think it might have some short-term impact is if someone on the Oilers calls it out in the moment, in a post-game presser. It takes skill to call out the refs and not embarrass them but at the same time put pressure on them to call something, but I think it can definitely be done. But I have no confidence that anything is going to change with how the league views calling penalties in the playoffs in general, not with the current group that is running things.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
