@0;24. it starts with Soucy crosschecking McDavid at his rib and then another crosscheck after the whisper when the game ended. McDavid retaliated with a swing. Soucy retaliated with the same swing, Zadorov crosscheck to the back of McDavid and Soucy crosscheck McDavid to the head.
Just a heads-up..Clothesline with a weapon in hand.. you must have enjoyed the Bertuzzi hit too.
There is the expected level of biased stupidity in this thread, and then someone takes it to a new level. I have no dog in this fight, but you'd have to be really off to think McDavid's reaction to the Zadorov cross check is faked.Is no one else concerned about the sniper that obviously took McD out and caused him to crumble into the crosscheck? I would say he/she is most at fault for this series of events.
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.
Yes it's cause it's him.I’m so tired of guessing which rules are going to be enforced. I see this as being as egregious as the Bennett punch and the Ryan spear. Why do the other two go free and Soucy gets suspended? Because it’s McDavid? Is it open season on people not named McDavid?
No one saw the sucker punch on Marchand and even then with gloves on it was as bad as getting a cross check to face getting your neck snapped back after being shoved forward and going down from a suspendable crosscheck from an unsuspecting goon after the final buzzerI said "this playoffs". Nice lack of reading comprehension.
Bennett cold clocks Marchand and the league doesn't care. But McBaby starts a scrum? OH NO! Suspend everybody!!!!
Also if you want this series, one of the Oiler bums literally whacked Hoglander in the nuts as he's going to change. Way dirtier than anything McSoftie had to deal with. I guess you'd agree Soucy should've slashed McDavid in the balls? That's clean right?
Soucy crosschecked him right after the game ended which initiated it all. McDavid still takes the crosscheck to the head and his head barely drops before Soucy makes contact. He's at least taking a crosscheck to the throat if Z doesn't touch him.McD starts stuff & the league steps in.
Unfortunate play with Zadorov pushing him. Soucy wouldn't have hit him in the head otherwise.
He got up the p***y he is & did nothing then skates behind everyone along glass to go cry to ref.I've seen this countless times in the other series post whistle but it's McJesus so they made the call
This is a run of the mill scuffle with two important distinctions
-One of the players loses balance and falls face first into another player's stick
-That player is McDavid
If this plays happens in the second period, it's offsetting penalties to Zadorov and McDavid and that's the end of it.
Zadorov sees a player taking liberties on his guy and he's already skating in. He's going to take that shot and most NHLers would.
If you had to rank the two minute minor worthy offenses into most worthy of discipline I could see ranking either McDavid (the instigator) or Zadorov (the finisher) at the top. Soucy is obviously a distant third, so it's typical of the NHL to give him a hearing just because the other guy is McDavid
@0;10. it starts with Soucy crosschecking McDavid at his rib and then another crosscheck where McDavid was able to block it after the whisper when the game ended. McDavid retaliated with a swing. Soucy retaliated with the same swing, Zadorov crosscheck to the back of McDavid and Soucy crosscheck McDavid to the head.
Has McDavid ever drawn a suspension before? You realise he plays for a Canadian market right?I’m so tired of guessing which rules are going to be enforced. I see this as being as egregious as the Bennett punch and the Ryan spear. Why do the other two go free and Soucy gets suspended? Because it’s McDavid? Is it open season on people not named McDavid?
Sure, league should let players handle this on ice.This is going to be a bad look for the league if they dish out a suspension.
It'll be like when the spoiled rich kid finally gets let out of the house to play with some friends, inevitably gets hurt and the overbearing parents never let them play again.
More of a reason than an excuse.Make all the excuses you want as to why this happened - at the end of the day Soucy cross-checked another player in the face AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE.
This should be a multi-game suspension.
