Before the "push", there was a crosscheck to McDavid's rib. @0:10Lots of BS takes here.
Soucy pushes McDavid. That’s not a crosscheck.
McDavid takes a 2 handed at Soucy’s thigh. Not his shin pad, it was well above the knee. Not a love tap, but also not an attempt to break his leg.
Soucy returns a similar to slightly harder slash to what appears to be a similar part of McDavid’s anatomy (hard to tell where from camera angle).
McDavid holds his left hand up to… I have no idea. Waggle his finger? Make peace? Move to push Soucy? Says something.
Soucy loads up to actually cross check the chest.
Zadorov strolls in with a crosscheck that lands and knocks McDavid over.
Soucy’s cross check lands at the same height it was aimed, but now that’s McDavid’s face/neck.
Personally I feel that McDavid was stupid for escalating (I suspect Vancouver was more than ready to find a payback opportunity after McDavid cut Hughes Game 2, and McDavid gave them ample opportunity to take it), and that Zadorov was stupid for the reverse crosscheck, and that the league will make Soucy pay a price after the Bennett fiasco for PR reasons.
But nobody is blameless in what happened, stop making martyrs.
Listen bud they have different rules for different playersLots of BS takes here.

Try taking a 2hander to your back and as you are falling forward take a 2 hander of graphite to your face...Weapon? Holy hyperbole Batman!!
Just a heads-up..
One is not like the other.
The way he receives special treatment just makes me want to see him hit harder.Love how Mcdavid is getting hated on more and more. People finally realizing how much he whines.

Punches to the face are allowed now, idk why this is different.Whether accidental or not, the end result was a cross-check to the face.
I see slashes like McDavid’s dozens of times a game. You don’t see a cross check to the face like that very often.
So Zadorov should get it then? Nobody is bracing for a crosscheck in the back after a game is over.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.
Hard to respond when the supposed 'beatdown' on mcdavid happens after the game. Not sure beatdown is used for 2 handed crosscheck ... more of an assaultThis Oilers team is soft as butter. Kane gets embarassed and destroyed and nearly gets put into the first row by Zadorov. Then their best player gets beatdown by Soucy and where's the Oilers response? Zero pushback from this squad.
It’s kinda cute that you think as a Ducks fan that I’m somehow unaware of that.Listen bud they have different rules for different players
Yeah we heard this would happen with big Z before this series. McDavid ends up just skating circles around these pylons. Or they go for a big hit like Soucy and end up giving up a breakaway goal. Please keep icing these plugs.If Soucy is suspended I wouldn't mind seeing if Aaron Rome is available for the next game. Then we can show McBaby a good time.
I mean, we've seen some homerish statements before, but come on Orca.A two handed slash after the game is a lot. McDavid initiated it and should accept the consequences.
Ah yes, a crosscheck to the face = weak slash to the shinpadIt’s hard to watch that play and come out of it thinking Soucy should be the only one punished. If you want to suspend Soucy then suspend McDavid. You can’t go around two hand base ball style slashing people without any consequences.
