Imagine a team built around Petterson and Hughes calling other teams soft

It’s easy to imagine, we get to watch it every time they play Edmonton.

McDavid makes Hughes and Pettersson look like rock hard thugs

Poetic justice how McDavid embellishing from Zadorov’s check made him get cross checked in the face

It’s embellishment to fall when a 250lb man unexpectedly crosschecks you in the spine? Not sure about this one

 

[CornKicker]

Let’s be honest here. No one is really afraid of the Oilers getting revenge for that hit. First they are not a very physical team and second the playoffs are too important. Revenge is mostly a myth these days.

this is the obvious answer, until 5 years from now some oilers hits a canuck and then some hardo from here will be all "thats from the time soucy crosschecked mcdavid".

Gotta respect McDiveid’s response:

Fine all 3 of them.

As a Canuck fan...I 'm actually hoping that McDavid gets absolutely nothing (even though he instigated and gave a two hand slash), and both Canuck players get penalized by the league.

it will demonstrate once and for all, how crippled the NHL justice system really is..If i was McDavid , I would be embarrassed...(all 3 players committed fouls)...some warrior hey..?...

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

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.

False equivalencies. Neither of those situations matter to this one.

False equivalencies. Neither of those situations matter to this one.

Of course they do. That’s how penalties and suspensions are determined. Based on other plays.
And If you were truly concerned about injury you’d raise those other instances where your team was at fault. But you’re not.

 

[Video Nasty]

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.

Let the Canucks lose their cool even after winning the game. That kind of fragility usually sorts itself out, i.e. losing Games 4-6 and being ousted.

Quinn Hughes who's avoiding hits and abandoning plays? lol

Further from the truth for the best defenceman on the ice this series

Look at that damage.

He’s a smart guy and knows how to play the game. We’ll see if the Canucks can evolve beyond Neanderthal status in a single day.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

if McDavid didnt fall forward would Soucy even have crosschecked him in the face?

Why evolve? They are beating Edmonton fairly easily. Stick to the program for 2 more wins

 

[NyQuil]

The general consensus over the past 850 posts or so is no.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Interesting, didn't see this one before. 2 crosschecks to the face at the end, wonder if they take a look at this aswell.

 

[Bgav]

So Hyman connected with a cross-check right after to Z's face that needed stitches... will he get suspended too?

 

[Regal]

There is a bit of a disconnect in the "intent" vs. "result" argument here, though.

If you favour intent, then obviously Soucy shouldn't be punished.

However, if you favour "result", then you also have to consider that the ultimate "result" was that Mcdavid didn't suffer any injury, as I understand it. Only looking at the unintentional cross check to the neck as a result, but ignoring the ultimate result of no injury, is quite illogical.

Not really. There’s result in terms of the final action and result in terms of the end consequences. Most punishment is from the result in terms of the action. You might not have meant to trip somebody when you put your stick by their skates but if you did it’s still tripping. He didn’t mean to cross check him high but he still cross checked him high. Intent and consequences will usually come into play in terms of leniency of the punishment.

I dont understand why he's having a hearing, guess we will see how this turns out

Not a suspension since Zadorov didn’t fall to the ice

 

[NyQuil]

Now the real battle begins - in the coaching press conferences.

I don't think it's that surprising. He still took a cross-check to the face after the end of the game. It's a mitigating factor for the punishment though.

Because sticking to their same play from Game 3 will see them absolutely molly-whopped.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

No..its the most obvious answer..apparently, Soucy apologized (on the ice) directly after.

Unless you're the Edmonton Journal which claims it was a savage mugging by Soucy with intent to injure.
