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.
In what universe is this "glancing" cause I don't think it's the one we all live inDo 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.
Lol bruh Soucy isn’t an ahl level defenderAs a hockey fan, the last thing I want to see is some AHL-quality defensemen taking out the game's top player. It's bad for business.

First off, if what Soucy did was intentional then he'd be suspended for the whole series. It having an accident element to it doesn't forgive it though.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?

And it was a crosscheck to the head of a guy who is 6'7. There is nothing accidental about that.Zadorov required stitches for the crosscheck, how is that better?

Based on their justification for Soucy’s suspension, Hyman should get the same. They’ll never say it out loud but dollars to donuts says that they viewed it as FAFO for Z’s original cross check from behind. This isn’t trolling or homerism, either - my point is that their inconsistent evaluation criteria is even more subjective, ad hoc, and inscrutable than we think.Zadorov required stitches for the crosscheck, how is that better?
I think you’re mixing up the Oiler and Canuck D groups. Or maybe you’re thinking of the Oilers goaltending three headed monster? Soucy is a solid second pairing guy.As a hockey fan, the last thing I want to see is some AHL-quality defensemen taking out the game's top player. It's bad for business.

If he needed stiches afterwards, how could it not have hit him in the head?First off, if what Soucy did was intentional then he'd be suspended for the whole series. It having an accident element to it doesn't forgive it though.
Like I said on Hyman, I need that other angle. I googled it but only saw that one angle where it is hard to tell just how bad it is. Its not even clear that its the stick that makes his head move.
There's no room for doubt on the double check on McDavid.
It looks like it's to the chest to me tbh. Where's the better angle? I don't even see his head move
Maybe he is...I have never heard of him. All I'm saying is for non Oilers/Canucks fans no one is tuning in if McDavid is out.I think you’re mixing up the Oiler and Canuck D groups. Or maybe you’re thinking of the Oilers goaltending three headed monster? Soucy is a solid second pairing guy.

This slows it down a lot more:
I think as canucks fans, personally speaking, what's done is done. Ruling is out, live with it, move on. Big game tmw. Debating semantics with the Oilers fans will provide lil fruit for either side, as it won't be a view either will agree with. So let's agree to disagree.
Better things to discuss in the series for both sides, which will matter tm, like goaltending and special teams. Going back and forth about whose fanbase whines more about refs and calls is lollerskates, but I'm sure there are other divisive things to disagree on
This thread should just die and everyone move back to main one and talk shit so I can fill it up with gifs and memes
It's definitely not as bad as bennetts I believe, and I have my own opinions from the things that happened from game 2. Having said that, the NHL doesn't care about my feelings or yours, and their justice is absolute, so crying about it from either side really does absolutely nothing.Mature response!
But I’d be pissed AF. Much worse has happened, this is just trying to balance the series in my neutral opinion. Honestly rooting for Edmonton, actually, but you can’t tell me this is worse than Benn or Bennett.
How in the literal f*** does Soucy get a game but Hyman gets absolutely nothing in that sequence? Give me an absolute break with this crap. Especially after the spearing that was allowed to slide by with 2 minutes, the missed double minor high stick, and Kane accidentally/on purpose slewfooting Hughes in Game 2. Pathetic.
