Carson Soucy to have a hearing for Cross-check to Connor McDavid - suspended 1 game (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[Oilslick941611]

You don’t think Edmonton has guys who’ll go the extra mile? Ekholm? Perry? Kane?

They honestly should have kept Kostin.

Kostin was great for us, gave us what we needed, but he was offered 2 mil and went on to not only not earn that 2 mil ended up stretched and traded to the worst team in the league and scratched. Kostin was a great walk a way from.

Hits 50 to 30!
This Canucks team is night and day from previous ones. They’ve been punishing the Oiler players physically all series. The longer the series goes the bigger that edge becomes imo. Plus McDrai playing half the game is to the Canucks advantage longer term.

The longer the series become it means Skinner has been pulled and we are playing with better goaltending.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Probably because Ryan got a penalty for it.

They both got coincidental minors for it - Hoglander got a run of the mill cross checking penalty to have offsetting penalties.

A fact can't be wrong. Facts are things that have been verifiably proven.

I misspoke - or wasn't clear. You can be wrong when stating something as fact if it is not. You are correct.

BATTERS UP!

How long will his pants be injured?

 

[NyQuil]

I'm not expecting anything. All I said were that the incidents were similar - which another poster has already agreed with.

Sure, and another poster agreed with my interpretation.

“Similar” is pretty vague.

They were both cross checks after the play. That’s the similarity.

The circumstances were completely different.

 

[LivingRentFree]

When you throw a cross check you are responsible for where it ends up making contact

I agree 99.9% of the time. But when someone’s flopping for the 8th time in the game, it’s hard to know where to initiate contact.

 

[Yeah15]

The Oilers chances are pretty slim, particularly when the Canucks powerplay is outperforming theirs.

Did I see some people in here say the Oilers dominated the Canucks last night?

"Oilers chances are pretty slim"

Still some Vegas bookies with the Oilers as the favourite in this series while they're down 2-1. But what does Vegas know about the odds anyways.

Spoiler alert: The Oilers don’t have better goaltending.
If it’s a long series it’s because of the two Oiler superstars and their top line go super nova. Same as every year.

Guy is hopeless, facts can be wrong

Then it's no longer a fact.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Come on man. Just accept he did a two handed slash. No need to try to rewrite what happened.

He gave him a two handed whack on the pants. Soucy gave him a two handed whack on the pants back. Should have ended there, didn't, and that's why two Canucks are facing supplemental discipline. Not a challenging concept.

Thanks. Don't know why it bugged me so much lol.

 

[Three On Zero]

Soucy was labouring due to an ankle injury, sitting a game wouldn’t be the worst thing for him

 

[LivingRentFree]

Guy is hopeless, facts can be wrong

If a fact is wrong, it’s not a fact. Therefore, you’re wrong. Fact.

 

[God]

The rest of the leagues fans have always, always called superstars on other teams whiny, sissies, cryers, etc. As a Canuck fan, you'd think you would have remembered how the Sedins were talked about.

Difference being that the Sedins didn't whine like this :/ McDavid has continued to act like he's being persecuted for all 8 seasons of his career. Like, Crosby stopped doing this after year 2 or 3 lol

 

[Neil Racki]

Bad luck for Soucy as he had no intent to crosscheck face

but he did

1-3 games

has to be something

Campbell and Pickard are better goalies.

They’re facing supplemental discipline because it was on McDavid. It doesn’t even get reviewed if it’s a scrum with any other player.

Ya, that's what i said.

Good talk.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Come on man. Just accept he did a two handed slash. No need to try to rewrite what happened.

Have you ever seen a one handed slash?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Campbell and Pickard are better goalies.

Sure. You cling to that idea.

 

[MontrealCanuck]

The Canucks are the worst diving team in the league and have been for 25 years.

I hope you never try to chop wood if you think a lumberjack swings that soft.

You have Nurse, Divesaitl, McDiver, and Kane. Were you able to type that with a straight face?

 

[NailsHoglander]

Looking straight at his target a split second before lifting his stick

 

[ManofSteel55]

They're facing supplemental discipline because one guy cross checked someone in the back, and the other in the face, after the game was over.
