Around the league part 2

[King'sPawn]

Do you have any idea what “reaction time” means? You’re absolutely crazy if you think he targeted his head when McDavid simultaneously fell. There is ZERO chance he targeted his head. Thinking he did tells me you’ve never played sports competitively if you think he could react that quickly.

It doesn't matter if he targeted the head or the chest. It was a crosscheck, and it was high. You have to control your stick or accept punishment when you don't (provided the league decides to enforce it).

Does worse happen unpunished? Yes. That's the problem. Not the fact a crosscheck into someone's face gets someone suspended.

High where? The only reason it was high was because McDavid was falling simultaneously. It’s not like he was standing up right and he headshotted him. That should make a difference because one is more dangerous than the other. There’s a reason why normal cross checks are only 2 minute penalties. I’m sorry but the only three of you on here are wrong. There’s a reason why the NHL factors in their analysis if player X changed their immediate position before they got hit because there’s a difference between a guy having all day and still doing the dangerous action vs a player where a player got hurt during a sudden change in position. I don’t know how you guys are not seeing this.

Suspending Soucy for something so stupid that would at most normally be a two minute penalty is completely ridiculous

Draisaitl is such a good actor.

 

[Sol]

Legitimately textbook goal against the Kings, McDavid skates into the middle of the ice while Draisaitl gets spoon fed another goal. It’s amazing how much money McDavid has made for overrated players like Hyman and Draisaitl

The chest is still high to me, which is where he was looking to aim. And it resulted in a crosscheck to the face, intentional or not.

I know it's been a while, but back in the day even an accidental high-stick just from poorly getting around a defender gets an automatic 4-minute double-minor.

It was an intentional crosscheck. And it hit a player in the face. I don't know how you're confused by this.

And you can think we're "wrong," but the NHL agrees. You just seem more pissed that the Oilers benefit from it than the act. Heck, you're still bringing up McDavid's boarding Anderson. Are you saying you would defend McDavid crosschecking Anderson in the face because he fell forward, and he shouldn't be suspended?

 

[Sol]

By this logic Evander Kane should be suspended too for just cross checking Myers in the face. Yet just a penalty

 

[kingsfan28]

That should be a major, not 4 min. Kanes gonna get a call from Parros.

 

[chris kontos]

Kane's going to get his lunch fed to him by zadorov

I'm going for the General Hux approach towards the Nucks-Oilers Series.



I don't care if the Nucks win, I just need the Oilers to lose

 

[Gjwrams]

God I hate the Oilers

 

[Sol]

man I cant get over how ugly Evan Bouchard is. Jesus Christ.

 

[chris kontos]

Oilers are miserable greasy bastids

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Totally unbothered, I love it

 

[Sol]

Incoming suspension for nurse for the punch? Am I doing it right ?

 

[King'sPawn]

I'm sure as punishment they'll be fined for less than the sales of their next lottery pick jersey sales:

 

[kovacro]

Darnell Nurse punched Johnson. 1 game suspension incoming

I think the Canucks would rather see Nurse stay in the lineup. He's a fuggin pylon.

 

[chris kontos]

darnell nurse is an nhl affirmative action hire.
despite taking jiu jitsu during an offseason, the guy cant even punch.
my question is whose contract is worse- if both were signed simultaneously- nurse's or pld's?

Christ, that organization needs to be cleansed.

Of note, it says nothing about the charity which is also being sued.

Sorry - the organization lost the benefit of the doubt when they continued to cover up sexual assault for a decade.

I spent a big chunk of my childhood in Vancouver as a Kings fan. The obnoxiousness of that fanbase runs deep with me. This is the first time in my life that I’ve cheered for the Canucks to win a game/series.

"The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend" , about the only time I would root for Edmonton would be if they play Montreal (probably wouldn't watch those games truth be told)

i don't disagree about the hawks org generally speaking, but westhead's also lost the benefit of the doubt at this point because he slings every drop of mud at the wall that he can

 

[Sol]

The Hawks have the coolest logo in the NHL. I think its probably like a very slim percentage that think dont like it, and the natives I grew up around all seemed to really dig it too. The day the Hawks logo/scheme changes is going to highlight the over-reaching arm of "progressivism"
