I have no clue why the nhl is f***ing around with a fine on this. Send a message, give him some games- that’s such a ridiculously dangerous and easy dirty move to pull, now everyone knows you can do it to the other team’s star for a $2500 pop. That’s nothing, and if you break McD’a ankle or just frustrate him, that’s absolutely worth it at that price point. Basic morals stop most guys, but the nhl really incentivizes being a piece of shit.
Draisaitl slewfooted Kopitar in open ice the video is posted above so stfu , Kopitar who is a respected player around the league and plays and has played the game at an elite and high level for almost 2 decades . Also a decorated player who again is respected league wide ! Chit happens FAFO .L'Heariux (spelling), got 3 games just 2 weeks ago for a slewfoot. But just a 5K fine when it comes the Leagues best player I guess.
League is a complete joke.
Almost half the players on the ice in the same spot and yet 4 officials weren't looking at it I guess.
Hey guys, make sure to cover McDavid
Please rewatch the game Penguins-Oilers from last week and you will be quiet with this for the rest of your lifeAny other player in the League and the Refs give a Penalty.
There is no doubt, McDavid is the most screwed over player by the Refs in the League, probably in NHL history. They will NOT give this guy calls. Doesn't matter if he's slew footed, hooked, held, tripped, interfered with.
This generations best defenceman attacker, best play driver, and most targeted player should be drawing double the amount of calls he gets.
