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.
Ya, McDavid's cowardice, trying to use Soucy's stick to push off of and make fast his escape really set into a motion a shitshow.Basically this. You have to wonder if it was anybody other than McD if anything would have happened at all.
I think even a 6 year old knows who McDavid is.Go show the 2 replays to a non Homer 6 year old and im sure even they will be able tell you the difference.
That would make too much sense. I guess it’s ok for Ike Turner to try and boot a guy with his skate after he gets flattened with a clean hit. It’s ok for Derek Ryan to spear a guy in the balls. It’s ok for Connor H Macy to try and take out the opposing captain’s eye with his stick. It’s ok k for Ike Turner to slewfoot players with full immunity. It’s quite a league. It makes the CFL officiating look competent. I’m curious if Angel Hernandez can skate. He’d fit right in.Zadorov, Soucy, McDavid and Hyman should’ve all been given 5k fines
We shall see if this standard is followed the rest of the playoffs. Obviously concussing another team's captain with a sucker punch in-game is allowed, so we know that much. The inconsistency of DoPS never ceases to amaze me.

Every player needs to legally change their name to McDavid, eh?Spoiler alert: it won’t be followed the rest of the playoffs.
How about swinging his stick at the guy? That’s a major escalation over a shove.How did McDavid "start it" again?
None of you seem to answer for this but unless there's another video before the incident that I hadn't seen yet, it looked to me like Soucy pushed McDavid first then everything else happened.
McHughes and McPettersson are ready to play!Every player needs to legally change their name to McDavid, eh?
Can we all just stop for a second and agree that the DoPS is absolute trash and completely useless for this league and are about as bipolar and consistent as the reffing seems to be on a game to game basis?
Never said any of this, but keep up the story telling.Ya, McDavid's cowardice, trying to use Soucy's stick to push off of and make fast his escape really set into a motion a shitshow.
Shameful, really.
If the Canucks win game 4 - there is zero chance they're putting a cold Demko in for Silovs. The kid has earned it, give Demko more time to heal.
Do we have some other angles of it other than that top one. I'm an Oiler fan but I'm willing to hear the argument. Based on what I saw of it, it was a glancing blow and not nearly as bad as the Zadorov-Soucy double team job on McDavid. Not even close to the same.After seeing Hyman's crosscheck, one has to wonder just how stupid the DoPS is.
It wasn't even followed in the same game. There is no reason why Hyman should escape the same punishment Soucy received. Given that the former had clear retaliatory intent (and thus was more flagrant).We shall see if this standard is followed the rest of the playoffs. Obviously concussing another team's captain with a sucker punch in-game is allowed, so we know that much. The inconsistency of DoPS never ceases to amaze me.
comparing one of the players to Ike Turner seems quite a ways off topicThat would make too much sense. I guess it’s ok for Ike Turner to try and boot a guy with his skate after he gets flattened with a clean hit. It’s ok for Derek Ryan to spear a guy in the balls. It’s ok for Connor H Macy to try and take out the opposing captain’s eye with his stick. It’s ok k for Ike Turner to slewfoot players with full immunity. It’s quite a league.

Hyman went straight for the head on a much taller player, showing clear intent (and caused damage while doing so, no less). Soucy went for the chest and caught McDavid in the chin because his head was suddenly much lower than expected. I know I'm biased as a Vancouver fan, but how does that not make Hyman's much worse?Do we have some other angles of it other than that top one. I'm an Oiler fan but I'm willing to hear the argument. Based on what I saw of it, it was a glancing blow and not nearly as bad as the Zadorov-Soucy double team job on McDavid. Not even close to the same.

I'll ask again.. does this mean Cole and Myers will get more minutes?
