Maybe I've been disconnected from the online discourse, but does McDavid have a reputation for being a "cry baby"? I haven't heard this at all until like 2 weeks ago coming from Canucks fans across many corners of the internet.
It reminds of the early Sidney Crosby days when he was called a cry baby all the time and now, ironically, I've seen comments calling for McDavid to be more like Crosby.
Talking to the refs after a scrum is typically the captain's job it seems. And the cameras are always on McDavid anyway since he's always the best player on the ice. But I've never seen him act like a whiner or a "cry baby".
Is this just sour grapes, idiot bandwagon fans, perhaps a type of selection bias due to TV coverage, or just something that all captains face? This whole narrative comes across as really stupid to me. But then I remember that Canucks fans don't see the playoffs very much, so maybe that's it.

All good players are called "whiners" by opposing fans who think their guys should be able to foul them indiscriminately. Never worry about that.

Showing his babiness yesterday after being crosschecked in the lower back and face simultaneously and not really complaining at all about it.
Really no idea how anyone that pays any attention to him could give him that label. Crosby actually did complain non-stop to refs all the time in his early years, and eventually calmed down. McDavid has always been a guy that just tries to fight through things no matter what crap is being done to him.
