Kempe Fined for Slew Foot on McDavid

[SettlementRichie10]

Any 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.

We really appreciate Edmonton fans doing what they can to fight the LA fires with a river a tears.

Don't flatter yourselves, my comment has nothing to do with the irrelevant Kings.

Aw man I thought the title said Rempe

Lmao I did too

Is Mikey Anderson in the room with you right now?

Little Mikey Anderson is probably enjoying mashed carrots and apples slices right now.

It’s Draisaitl so it’s fine.

I’ve seen worse slew foots that the league gets away with but it’s against Mcdavid so they have to make it known. If you guys are expecting consistency, you clearly haven’t been a fan for long.

Except Kopitar skates into his path intentionally. Not even close to the same play.

Cali reffing

Edmonton crying

How in the hell is that a fine and not a suspension? Great job DoPS

It's the Parros Hat Trick. He wasn't good enough to have such a feat named after him during his NHL days so he gets this one I guess:

-Infraction by a player on a Sunbelt team...
-...against a player on a Canadian team...
-...who is better than he ever was.

George is gonna slap a little fine on that every time.

Our Province actually did send planes to help you put out your fires. You're welcome.

Worth it, I think, for the hit on Laf.

Except that hit was clean.

I didn't say anything about clean or dirty.

Well you insinuated that retribution was necessary or valid.

I think they should stand up for their teammates, yes. No call on the 3rd man in, no call on the slewfoot. It balances out.

 

[GreeningOil]

Kings lose in 7, then 6, then 5. Wonder what happens next?

I can’t wait for the playoff series they’ll lose in 1 game

Kapanen got a penalty?

Roughing. He should have had an additional penalty for coming off the bench to start a fight.

 

[McFlyingV]

He completed a line change, and no there is no additional penalty in the rulebook for what you're describing.

Sure thing.

 

[McFlyingV]

Sure thing.

No fighting majors assessed, hence no fights. "3rd man in" as you claimed is only applicable to fights that are already happening. Keep living in that delusion.

Refs got a lot wrong that night. But your moving words have convinced me to care if McDavid was slewfooted. I will contribute to his gofundme and wish for his speedy recovery.

Right there was definitely a "fight" in that scrum. Weird afterthought considering I've never mentioned anything about anyone feeling sorry for McDavid. All I've done is contest your distorted perception of reality.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

The slew foot is universally regarded as one of the dirtiest plays in hockey that everyone can agree should be completely out of the game...

...until a player on the team you cheer for does it.

Sports fans, man.

 

[Three On Zero]

Worth it, I think, for the hit on Laf.

It’s was 100% in retaliation for the dirty hit. No issues with this at all. Refs call the initial penalty on McDavid and players won’t go after him.

 

[Kingsfan1]

Ugh. ^^^This is a prime example of whataboutism.

The slewfoot on McDavid was egregious. It is obviously against the rules. Do you deny it?

No if you look at my history of posts i am one of the most unbiased posters here so i do not deny it . It was dangerous but all im saying is you get what you put out
