Carson Soucy to have a hearing for Cross-check to Connor McDavid - suspended 1 game (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[AwesomeInTheory]

To be honest, the fine seems the most wack.

If McDavid wasn't trying to cowardly flee from the intimidating Carson Soucy none of this would have happened. He shouldn't have braced himself off of Soucy's stick in an attempt to escape.

What happened?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

it was offsetting because Foegele was stupid and didn't listen to his teammates.

Hyman skated right up to him and crosschecked him in the face. Edmonton's not intimidated in the slightest.

Edmonton's powerplay went 50% and you're pleased with that? You shouldn't be.

Could have fooled me. This is the softest Oilers team I’ve seen. They look scared of Zadarov.
The 50-30 hits advantage for the Canucks in your own barn is embarrassing.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

You’re so close to getting it - why was he awkwardly falling forward?

Probably needing a nap after being triple shifted all game. Dude was bagged.

This was after the game ended. Easy 4 for cross check to the face.

How many games do you feel Hyman should have got for his cross check to the face?

 

[Bizzare]

Soucy started the scrum with an initial crosscheck and you're missing the part where Soucy gets an equivalent slash in too. It's like you have selective viewing with the homer shades.

[MOD]

He pushed him first, get your glasses out

 

[Bizzare]

It's hilarious that when McDavid gets crosschecked in the face its "f*** around and find out" and "don't stay in the kitchen if you can't handle the heat" but when Zadorov gets crosschecked in the face after a fracas that he was a MASSIVE part of its "wahhh wahhhh wahhhhhhhhh where's the discipline where's the suspension protect Zaddy he needed stitches"

[MOD]

Well you see, consistency is all anyone wants.

 

[Phrasing]

Feel sorry for the mods. Seeing multiple posts being deleted one after another. The cleanup must be relentless. Cheers for the hard work!

 

[Nucks2001]

I mean missed calls both ways, including McDavid’s high stick on Hughes in Game2. This Oilers team is horrible 5v5 and can only score on the PP. I think the Canucks have this in the bag. The Oilers just aren’t made for playoff hockey

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

It's good to know that the Canucks can now freely take two handed baseball swings to McDavid's ankles without consequence. Right? Since this seems to be ok? Look forward to Zadorov doing that to McDavid next game since it's apparently legal. Gutless league.

This is beyond embarrassing for the league if Hyman doesn’t get a suspension for his pre orchestrated cross check.

But doesn’t matter what the league does, or how dirty the Oilers play, they’re not winning this series lol

 

[thekernel]

If a crosscheck to the face is worthy of a 1-game suspension then why isn't a crosscheck to the face worthy of a 1-game suspension? Bear in mind the only difference is that Hyman went high on purpose

The Edmonton media must be beside themselves..such a small punishment for such a heinous mugging of the petulant child.

You cannot hit a player without the puck. The Canucks did not have the puck for the last half of the game. The only game this series where the shots were close the hits were 33-36. It's really that simple.

It's kinda crazy that there was a lot of chirping about the Canucks lack of physicality going into this series. They are at least holding their own if not carrying that aspect of play, IMO.

Again, prayers for McDavid. I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery from that near-death experience. Hopefully he'll be healthy for next season.

I wonder if that has anything to do with being outshot 45-15 lmfao.

 

[God]

none of the oilers wanted to stand up for mcdavid so the league decided to? LOL

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

The Oilers fanbase thought this series would be a cakewalk lol Canucks serving them some humble pie.

 

[Bizzare]

Two handing? a light slash to the shinpads after Soucy cross checks McDavid first. McDavid then retaliates with a light slash to the shinpads and then afterwards gets cross checked in the face. Wouldn't have been to the face if Zadarov doesn't cheap shot McDavid from behind though.

Another person calling it his shin.. our education system has failed us.

Terry jones having a real one on twitter. Senile old man said soucy should be suspended for the whole playoffs

Why would it?
Hits aren’t dependent on shots. That’s a lame excuse for the Oilers not playing physical.

Oilers would probably have the worst record in the NHL without McDavid & Draisaitl, trash team, the Predators were a far superior team.

Imagine a team without their two best players being worse than they are. Amazing analysis. Imaging Vancouver without Demko and Hughes, I bet they would also be significantly worse.

 

[goodgrimes]

I'm not bothered by this being a one-game suspension. I understand that Oilers fans will revel in this decision, which is understandable. Any honest Canucks fan would tell you they'd feel the same way if something similar happened to Hughes or Pettersson. However, I can't handle the NHL's lack of consistency in officiating or disciplining players. Canucks fans are frustrated today, but Oilers fans might be frustrated tomorrow. If we put aside the teams we cheer for, I'm sure most of us can agree that the NHL doesn't know what they're doing.

Well you’re half wrong at least. Demko is out. Team has been fine against Nashville and Edmonton (so far).

Yeah Vancouver would be totally screwed without Demko in net

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Yeah Vancouver would be totally screwed without Demko in net

Oilers would probably take that in 4 and I'd bet $500 bucks on it
