Considering that BC's biggest industry is forestry I would have thought that people there would be better at identifying lumberjacks. It was a lovetap on the pants. Soucy gave him one back. Its the Vancouver D's two crosschecks afterward that are getting them in hot water.Nothing for the McBaby lumberjack swing? I guess he’s immune to punishment. Got away with a double minor in Game 2 as well.
I agree. A slash at the lower legs would have been worse, there's way more of a chance to injure somebody by hacking at his lower legs than by giving him a tap on the hip.View attachment 869915
Can we stop calling this a shin? Thanks
Yes it’s not a shin, thanks for finally getting it right.What, his hockey pants?
And there is a reason why Silov is playing ahead of the other goalie. He was the 2nd best nuck vs NSH and doing pretty good this series.. Demko isn't any better than what Silov gaveBoth are crap. Let’s be honest here. There’s a reason the Oilers started Skinner.
Haha, so true. Cole is providing those expected intangible contributions from unexpected players, that become X-Factors in every playoffs...Do whatever you want..just don't suspend Cole is what I ask.
Is McDavids neck? Nope to both.are his pants going onto LTIR?
Very true, and that is a good comparsion.
Certainly many of us want to see some consistency here insofar as consequences, not just with this situation, but similar ones like it.
He was already slewfooting Hughes before this and trying to kick Zadorov in the face with his skate.You just know Kane is going to give it right back to Hughes or Pettersson if there is no suspension. That also just opens the door for a complete shitshow next game so I'm leaning towards a suspension.
I think it’s likely from the constant crying after every whistle.Can someone explain to me how the league reviewing this play makes McDavid soft? I don’t understand that one
Marchy was jabbing at the Sedins in a scrum mid game, which was normal 13 years ago, hardly the same thing. Hell that happens in playoff games even today.Yes, because I witnessed Bennet got away with a sucker bunch yesterday
Also Sedins got punched in the face repeatedly in front of refs 13 years ago
But we gotta protect McPrecious
Yes it’s not a shin, thanks for finally getting it right.
Then I don't know maybe the coach is the problem you could pull Skinner earlier you realize. Campbell the guy that sucked so bad was sent to minors?If Pickard or even Campbell playing it's 3-0 Oilers. Skinner is the only reason why this is a close series
Being big and strong doesn’t do anything if he doesn’t push or make contact with McDavid…Well, if he was trying to just skate away, he probably could have done that. He's a big and strong guy. He chose to push him instead. He started it. McDavid escalated it, and then the Vancouver goofs went way beyond what the situation called for.
As per the league "A player has to be in control of his own stick at all times" teams are awarded powerplays for stick lifting the opponents stick into their own face. This is a guy cross checking someone, even if Zadorov doesn't hit McDavid it was still a pretty high cross check attempt.It's a weird one, because the result is bad but I don't think he was trying to cross check him in the face at all.
Zadorov cross checking him from behind put Soucy's cross check in a bad spot.
so the Leafs aren't good enough is what you're sayingNah no excuses. They just don’t get a soft path to the conference finals like the Oilers do. That’s reality, not an excuse.
Demko is a Vezina finalist.And there is a reason why Silov is playing ahead of the other goalie. He was the 2nd best nuck vs NSH and doing pretty good this series.. Demko isn't any better than what Silov gave
I ordered his jersey last nightThis guy should drink for free at any bar in Vancouver / Calgary / Toronto
Just a reminder that you said the type of slash happens dozens of times in a game. Again, that’s a ridiculous statement, and I assume you know that but for whatever reason are not willing to just concede your initial statement was a huge hyperbole and move on.After the play is over? Swatting at each other with sticks?
Yes it happens frequently. Are you new to hockey?
I’m still waiting for all of your examples of retaliatory cross checks to the face going unpunished.
I think everyone agrees that the shot to the face was accidental, but it was still a penalty and the end result was contact to the face.
Lack of deliberate Intention might reduce the punishment.
He has Zadorov to thank for the phone call from the league.
Definitely weren’t good enough nope!so the Leafs aren't good enough is what you're saying
kinda like when they had a path in 2021 by winning the Canadian division, or losing to CBJ
whack to the pants is exactly the same a cross check to the faceIs McDavids neck? Nope to both.

I don’t recall a big base ball swing slash after the game ending happening even once in any Canucks game this season. The idea that this happens frequently is a joke.
