Of course we know what happened next and 14 goals later we see that even in 1905 it was unwise to light a fire under your opposition's star players.

In my research of Harvey Pulford, Alf Smith, and Billy Gilmour, I found a couple references to Frank McGee being hated by the rest of the team.
I'll have to check if I ever get time to open my laptop again, but i believe it had a lot to do with McGee being from a wealthy family, acted like a spoiled brat, and didn't work hard.
