After Petterson getting run head first into the boards and hughes being chopped in the face, the canucks still owe the oilers one. Stop whining oiler fans. Maybe it's time for mcbaby to suck it up for once. We have to.

Who the hell knows anymore. Can't even figure out what is and isn't a penalty in one game anymore. Refs across the board are so inconsistent.

Commentators don't even know anymore which makes the NHL look so stupid to anyone new that is watching the game. The play by play and color guy should be able to explain the game so that new fans can have an understanding of what is happening, but they can't even do that anymore.

At this point you would think people would realize that there are consequences for actions in all aspects of life not just hockey and sometimes you're punished for doing something reckless even if the outcome wasn't your intent.

This is all well and good but the league (presumably) looks at intent in situations like this.

Crosscheck to the neck or face??

 

[Seattle Totems]

McDavid totally sold the Zadorov cross check. Connor is a beast. Yet look how easily his knees buckle.

 

[Canovin]

Crosscheck to the neck or face??

I was told by Nucks fans that McDavid dove to have a chance to get his neck broken

The league needs to answer for this shit.

 

[Mobiandi]

You can feel the NHL’s panic with another impending playoff exit for Edmonton

No, they don't always. It is a factor in the length of a suspension, but there has been multiple suspensions in the past that are deemed "reckless" and not "intentional" in their explanation videos.

I think the lack of intent means this at most gets 1 game.

 

[Rowlet]

You guys are still not giving them any credit despite them kicking your ass all season long and now bringing the fight to you in a playoff series. Stop underestimating your opponents.

The Oilers are allergic to giving credit to other good teams, it's always luck, or unsustainable, or frauds until they lose.

The only protection needed was for the ref from McDavid after the EDM bench minor.

I don’t think any player should be allowed to go after a ref like that…and I hate the NHL refs.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Doc, Edzo that's old school.

How does the NHL benefit from Edmonton winning in the playoffs? Edmonton is a saturated market, and most people in the USA don't even know who Connor McDavid is.

They did the same to the Avs and Knights despite getting wrecked by both teams.

Umm ratings? McDavid draws viewers from everywhere, he's that good.

 

[majormajor]

Am I tripping or are Canucks fans saying that the slash to the pants meant something? Like some line was crossed where now it is okay to injure McDavid?

Crosscheck to the neck or face??

That is wild. A lot of guys are going on IR after that.

 

[McFlyingV]

Show me numbers to back that up.

Crosscheck?

More like assault with a deadly weapon. We should expect to see the reverse guillotine on the next Faces of Death compilation. McDavid almost died, err, was decapitated, I mean, had his neck broken, err, had his trachea crushed, rather had his Adam's apple pulped, but actually his collarbone ground into powder, err, a nasty contusion, a bruised ego.

Whatever it takes to win, I guess.

To be fair, Knights said the Oilers were their hardest match up

 

[Rowlet]

Yep, they're permanently the self appointed winners of destiny until one thing goes wrong and the fans implode on themselves.

 

[nucks88]

Immediately as in when? Game was over and there was a scrum.
Warning means jack all in this situation. Dress Carrick or whoever and get a 5000 fine or suspension at the end of game 4 while taking out a Nuck or 2.

No point going after Zadorov... it will need to be a Miller or Lindholm

lol….okay …….

 

[CupofOil]

A two handed baseball swing happens all the time.?..Come on man.

You think that McDavid slash was a baseball swing? Christ, what are some of you people watching? You're acting like he Marty McSorley'd Soucy.

Oh and Soucy initiated it by pushing McDavid after the whistle.

Diminishing what a cross check to throat feels like and what damage it can cause (vertebral fracture, disc herniation, nerve impingement, vascular damage) is just a bad look and shows you've probably never played hockey good lord.

 

[Canadienna]

I don't think Soucy meant to, or even would have cross checked him in the neck had Zadorov not gotten him first.

That said, you can't just let that go, Soucy should be punished and it's just a bit of bad luck on his part.

Please show where Petey turns away from the hit. I've seen it ten times and this nonsense keeps being reiterated. The angle in which Nurse comes in is always going to propel a player into the boards from where he was throwing that hit. Initial contact wasn't all numbers, but the follow through the body was all numbers because of the angle he went after Pettersson.

We act as if Petey turned last second. He doesn't turn at all. The contact propels him into the boards with Nurse having zero effort to avoid numbers as he throws all of his weight through them.

That's not on Nurse then. He was hitting EP in the shoulder. You can watch it again if you like, but EP was turning, its clear as day.
