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

[wetcoast]

Zadorov better get suspended too, what a puke play after the final buzzer hitting from behind.. Soucy I don't blame as much don't think he meant to hit the face


It was a nothing slash so means nothing

Evidently the NHL agress, star protection in this case but like usual they are consistently inconsistent.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

No one is mad that Soucy was suspended but considering what you let go in other games and literally what they let go in the same freaking scrum from Hyman is actually absurd.

If this is suspension worthy then so should the Bennet hit on Marchand, the Kane slew foot on Hughes, the Ryan nut shot on Hoglander, and the Hyman crosscheck to the face to Zadorov.

The league only cares about stars so all of those should be suspensions except the last one because Zadorov isn't a star.

 

[Three On Zero]

Soucy with an accidental crosscheck to the neck
Hyman with an intentional crosscheck to the head

League is just playing favorites here. Soucy should have gotten nothing and Hyman should have been fined

Zadorov, Soucy, McDavid and Hyman should’ve all been given 5k fines

Basically this. You have to wonder if it was anybody other than McD if anything would have happened at all.

Maybe it's a good thing McDavid wasn't fined or else he would have to promote another gambling site.

 

[Spektre]

Soucy can be suspended 40 games as long as Edmonton loses the series.

McDavid played a stupid game and won a stupid prize of getting his face checked.

The NHL will always be goofy with rules.

Why was Rielly suspended 5 games for the same thing

Rielly chased Greig from the other face-off circle and up the boards.

 

[GoldenSeal]

Absolutely worth it. Canucks are not scared of the Oilers.

 

[Dradavich]

I guess Soucy f***ed around and found out he was suspended.

The end result is the same, Soucy traveled 100 km from his hotel to the arena prior to doing that, does his commute also count???

Really?

It's not the same.

When will the suspension be announced for Kane trying to kick Zadorov with his skate?

Or are the Oilers immune from suspensions?

I saw that one too when somebody brought it up. You really have to be grasping at straws to think there's an attempt. It's reckless, but it's likely somebody trying to get out of the bench after being launched into it upside down. People who do handstands in breakdancing will do the same leg movement to balance.

I didn't see any malicious intent. It's not forceful either.

Around the same time the Flames make the playoffs next.

 

[LTIR]

he cross checked him in the face what was different about it?

Go show the 2 replays to a non Homer 6 year old and im sure even they will be able tell you the difference.

 

[hirawl]

Just a standard playoffs end of the game scrum. Nothing more. Slashes back and forth. Nothing vicious about Soucy's actions. The stick only ends on McDavid's face area because of Zadorov's actions.

I honestly think the suspension happens because it's McDavid.

 

[JAK]

Joke of a league to only hand down punishment to one team.

This continues to let McDavid know that he can do no wrong, and eventually, he will either hurt someone really bad or he will get hurt really bad.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

McDavid probably could've blocked some of it if he hadn't been hit from behind. That's worse than what Soucy did imo.

 

[GoldenSeal]

NHL gets what they want too. An important defender out for game 4.

The league needs McDavid in the finals at any cost. It is hilarious how rigged it is (but that loser team still finds ways to not go to the cup finals).

That's not going to stop the Canucks. They'll start grinding harder. They got the resolve and teamwork to make it work and show no fear. The Oilers live and die off of which McDavid shows up, if Drai is on game or not and how flame broiled their netminder of the moment is. The Canucks are going Deranged Oreo Dolphin on Edmonton.

Fear The Orca.

Jesus, I've seen some takes....

Why not just suspend any player who takes a shot that gets blocked?

 

[57special]

1 game seems about right

 

[Another Empty Netter]

I wonder if the refs ever get tired of hearing players talk to them

Did anyone see 97 talking to the refs after this x check?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I’m just glad it wasn’t Zadarov suspended. The guy has been a physical force and a huge contributor at both ends of the ice. Canucks can withstand losing Soucy for one game.
Hopefully take advantage of Oilers D and goaltending again to take s 3-1 series lead and get a well rested Soucy and maybe Demko back for game 5.
Going to be another close game though I expect.
