Gotta protect McBaby.

Meh, I'm fine with Juulsen going in for a game or two, won't matter all that much.

Wonder which Oiler is gonna step up and fight Zadorov? Or are they just going to try to hug it out like they did last night.

They don’t need to fight him. Just throw a knee on Hughes or a hit from behind on Boeser.

Shows the lack of faith Vancouver has in winning this series when they have to resort to that move after the game is over. Edmonton blowout win incoming for Game 4.

How’s that Oilers’ sweep coming along?
You’re definitely one of the more balanced posters here. Always love to read your takes.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Lame. No one thought McDavid was injured.
Hyperbole doesn’t help your argument especially given how much the Oilers have gotten away with.

Yet we keep seeing "baseball swing" and "lumberjack", ha ha.

The Canucks have gotten away with just as much as the Oilers have. The refs have put the whistle away.

They’ve already been playing dirty, just have to try harder!

Good luck with that!
Lol. You guys are physically outmatched so far this series.
Zadarov will send the whole team into their bench if they try any of that.

You keep talking about a sweep I never called for. Who is unbalanced now?

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

It's McDavid. The DoPS legal team is probably researching if a possible hockey player exception might exist in Canada's National Defence Act that would allow them to impose the death penalty for treason.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Good luck with that!

Bu-bu-but I was told that Corey Perry and Evander Kane would destroy the Canucks.

The clip above is so disingenuous, leaves out the slashing beforehand.

This is the full clip:

I mean what I see is Soucy shove/cross check McDavid, McDavid responds with slash to the leg (a well protected area), and then he receives a similar slash back followed by a cross check from behind and a cross check to the face.

For the record i already said in the GDT I thought the crosscheck to the face was a result of the Zadorov cross check a moment before and wasn't Soucy's intention, but to try to absolve Soucy from starting this whole thing is hilarious. I'm genuinely surprised that Soucy has a hearing today.

Take a seat Kane!

Yep, that happens when one team has puck possession way more than the other team.

Love tap by McDavid.
Followed by a love tap from Soucy.
Cowardly cheap shot (but not overly forceful) on the lower back by Zadorov which makes McD flinch forward.
Soucy aiming for the upper chest (neck? I'll give benefit of the doubt) of McD but hits him in the face.

Soucy doesn't seem to want to cross-check McDavid in the face but since he is responsible for his stick, he deserves a suspension.

If the game would have been ongoing, McDavid would have deserved a 2 for slashing, Zadorov a 2 for cross-checking and Soucy a 5 for cross-checking.

Sure. Loved the response from the Oiler players after their meal ticket was involved in a scrum.
Now that’s a team that had each others backs.

Two minutes for all 3 imo.

This post should just be stickied. It's correct.

"Wah wah, we need more powerplays and suspensions or else how will we win?!" This league and the Oilers are an embarrassment to the sport.

You used this line already. Anything new?

The game was over, there shouldn't have been a scrum to begin with.

This is probably the most fair take. I'm genuinely surprised there's a hearing, but your comment about Soucy needing to control his stick even if it wasn't his intention is a fair argument for a suspension and is probably why the league decided to have a hearing.

"Wah wah, we need more powerplays and suspensions or else how will we win?!" This league and the Oilers are an embarrassment to the sport.

Funny, considering that the Canucks coach was the one crying to the league before the league even scheduled games for this series. "Wah wah wah, it's not fair if you call penalties when we deserve them."

wah wah wah Kelly Sutherland is the ref tonight...he hates the Canucks!

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Yeah, they should all be as dumb as Zadorov and Soucy and take fines and suspensions and jump the Cuck players

Ooh! A $5,000 fine.
Hits 50 to 30 for the Canucks.
No one would have gotten away with that against Gretzky. The Oiler players should be ashamed.

More like a cheap lawn chair folding up under a fat drunk guy…..

Wah wah wah, Mark Spector wrote an article saying we whine and complain too much. Wah wah wah.

The Canucks never had the puck last night. Hit totals show which team had the puck the most just as much as it shows "physicality". Instead of being all arrogant about yesterday, you should be thanking the hockey gods that you stole one.

If there's one thing I've learned, is that hockey players need to stop diving when getting hit from behind. If McDavid doesn't dive here, he doesn't get crosschecked in the head. Simple as that. McDavid needs to protect himself. HF boards has enlightened me.
