The idea that a slash justifies crosschecking a guy in the face or that being slashed means you are allowed to viciously hit the player back is only something a moron would claim. The level of stupidity you find on this board hits new levels, but does provide comic relief.

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

This is the full clip:

So a slash to the padded part of pants warrants a cross check to the face :laugh:

Sure maybe he doesn’t hit his face if it wasn’t for Zadorov cross checking him from behind first. Suspend both Zadorov and Soucy for half a game each then.

He shouldn't be suspended. McDavid started the whole thing and his head immediately moved which is what caused the cross-check to the face.

That said, the NHL is also a joke by not announcing the date and time with the game being tomorrow. If you've already pre-determined it's going to be a suspension before hearing someone's case, why even have a hearing?

The NHL has already deemed you need to be in control of your stick.

Well that's a mighty assumption and not true at all.
Calling him soft is a bit of a mis nomer tho. What he is is very unsportsmanlike and until he grows up and matures he will never be a guy that captains his team to a cup, Sid and Mac he is not.

He dives and embellishes and he whines and follows the refs around, it's absolutely pathetic and bush.
God I hope he's smartened up by 2026 because not only is it an embarrassment for our country but international refs love calling that type of shit.

As for the play yesterday it's a joke that Soucy might be suspended considering the scope of everything.

As for people saying Soucy started it he didn't.
The full sequence was #97 lightly slashed him and Soucy then pushed him and then #97 whacked him with both hands in a spot Soucy had been injured

Saying McDavid whines and is unsportmanlike and should be more like Sid and Mack is laughable. Crosby and Mackinnon were the biggest whiner in the league lol. Do you guys even watch McDavid play? If the league truly calls penalty as it was intended, McDavid would put the Oilers on the PP 10 times a game. But the league doesn't want that. It's an unfair disadvantage.

You need to watch the replay. The sequence starts with Soucy crosschecking McDavid from behind at the ribs. Then Soucy went for another crosscheck and McDavid parried it. Then McDavid went for slash to the pant. Soucy followed with the same thing. Zadorov came from behind McDavid and crosschecked him in the #s. And Soucy crosschecked McDavid in the throat.

That just shows them standing around. They didn't do anything, showing a still doesn't prove you right any more. It's easy to find the clip, literally no one on the oil did anything physical other than try to pull it apart.

But yeah sure, because someone didn’t skate over with a chainsaw when they noticed the scrum, the team didn’t show up to support McDavid.

Sure. But none of that happened. There was no vicious hit to the back or slash to the head.
Otherwise great post!

Cross-checks in a post-whistle scrum are as common as slashes.

What made this play stand out is the sudden position change of McDavid's head owing to Zadorov's cross-check from behind.

i dont know man, kinda looked like he was trying to snap his whole entire body in half and leave his legs under him like a cartoon

Seems like the general consensus of those higher than an everyday hockey fan think the play at WORST is a fine. Will be interesting to see what DoPS does

He'll only get a fine but deserves about a 1-2 game suspension. This is Pietrangelo territory but will walk away because McDavid wasn't really hurt.

Normally when people talk about reaction and back up, they aren't talking about what you feel is support. For every action they want an equal reaction. If my captain got that, my hope in the response is an equal shot to back. But to each their own.

I consider a crosscheck to the face to be fairly vicious, whether it was fully intentional or not.

Sure but you’re an Oilers fan. Your view would carry more weight if you posted about Pettersson having his head driven into the boards or the nut shot to Hoglander. Fans only get outraged when it happens to their team.
Not picking on just you but most fans, including myself, view things that way.
