It's way I see it.1 gameIf he straight up gave him the lumber to the face intentionally after the game I would I agree. However McDavid slashed him pretty heavily just before that and was trying to give him back a cross check to the body. It was a total accident that it hit him in the face as he was falling from another cross check from behind. McDavid got up right afterwards and is fine. Zadorov's shot on McDavid was probably worse and he got a fine, and if anything he should get the 1 game.
We've seen deliberate slew-foots and spearing from the Oilers that went unpunished and were far more dangerous. But since it's the NHL's golden child we're probably gonna get a game for Soucy.
Tougher than McBabys***, certainly.He didn’t fold, he fell forward a bit and then was hit from the other side.
But no not you big tough guy.
Outrageous, and undoubtedly what is about to happen. We are about to get screwed, again, by DoPs.I'm sure Canuck fans everywhere would be celebrating in the streets if they could trade Zadorov and Soucy suspensions for a McDavid suspension.
Disregarding the names of the players involved, some fines would be enough. That being said, the NHL absolutely considers who is involved when reviewing these, it does need to protect it's stars, and McDavid is the star. Based on who it was, this should be a 3-5 game suspension. Make an example out of Soucy and send a message to the rest of the league.
Swayman is the real deal too. Vezina winning goalies right there.
God you’re delusional lolTougher than McBabys***, certainly.
If Pickard or even Campbell playing it's 3-0 Oilers. Skinner is the only reason why this is a close seriesSwayman is the real deal too. Vezina winning goalies right there.
If Demko is playing, it’s 3-0 Vancouver
Yet somehow less delusional than Oilers fans.God you’re delusional lol
Many people wanted to do this to Billy Smith back in the day for his hacking and dirty play. Silovs has done literally nothing of the sort.Zadorov fined 5000$ for cross check at the end... ooo such a deterrent... somebody should've crosschecked Silov while he had his mask off.. $5000 lol
You think cross checks to the face are ok ? And to make it worse the game was already over, it's not a hockey play. Rielly got 5 games in the regular season for a similar play, considering this is the playoffs he probably gets 2 games. Can't pull that kind of crap.
Yeah McDavid slashed him, then he slashed him back, and then Zadorov cross checked McDavid, and then Soucy cross checked him in the face. Easy suspension.
He should have gone after Silov and cross checked him in the throat... I am pissed tooMcDavid getting up doing nothing loses my respect .He snuck behind everyone along the glass to the ref .Defend yourself be a man for fk sakes.
Yeah nothing screams elite playoff goalie like Campbell and Pickard.If Pickard or even Campbell playing it's 3-0 Oilers. Skinner is the only reason why this is a close series
cool, the Leafs failed as per usual because all they got is excusesSwayman is the real deal too. Vezina winning goalies right there.
If Demko is playing, it’s 3-0 Vancouver
A bunch of us are even saying Soucy shouldn’t get suspended.Yet somehow less delusional than Oilers fans.
He swatted his legs and it was a soft swat at that.. If you've worn hockey pants you'd know he could probably barely feel that.Why is this being looked at? McDavid baseball swings his stick at a guy, and Soucy clearly tries to crosscheck him in the chest as retaliation. Not Soucys fault McDavid crumpled when Zadorov touched him.
Not a fan of Edmonton at all, I guess I could be considered neutral here.
I compare this to the Ottawa vs Toronto game where Rielly crossedchecked Grieg and got suspended. DOPS big deal with it was it was after the game - I assume (lol), the same standards will be applied.
Rielly got 5 regular season games for reference.
weren't Canucks fans crying about Kelly Sutherland reffing Game 2?Tougher than McBabys***, certainly.
His team just won the game. Maybe just skate away and enjoy the win?Soucy pushed McDavid as he bumped into him after the game. What is he suposoed to do? Give him a nice hug and tell him better luck next game?
I'm sure Canuck fans everywhere would be celebrating in the streets if they could trade Zadorov and Soucy suspensions for a McDavid suspension.

When have they ever done that?NHL standing tall to protect McPrecious
Both are better than Silov... my 14yo nephew would do better than Skinner.Yeah nothing screams elite playoff goalie like Campbell and Pickard.
