Mcdavid 5min Match Penalty: Cross check to the face of Garland (Mod warning post #282)

The NHL is the only league stupid enough to allow the best player in their game to be sat on and interfered with for 10 seconds without calling a penalty when the game is on the line. McDavid should have cross-checked the ref in the face instead. It's not Garland's fault they are incompetent fools.

This game is a textbook example of what happens when terrible refereeing allows games to get out of hand. Not an excuse for either McDavid or Myers (they both deserve their incoming suspensions), but if the refs had actually called any one of the countless infractions on Garland tonight, this incident never happens. Garland reminds me of a clingy toddler who hangs onto their mom's leg everywhere she goes...

You're new to hockey? Maybe floorsqueek is better suitable to your taste in sports?

Instead of seeing if the best player in the league could help tie the game in the final seconds, I got to watch him get pinned to the ice and blatantly interfered with. Great product NHL. I am sure when Mahomes is driving down the field to tie the game the NFL would let someone sit on him and prevent him from getting up :thumbu:

McDavid was on Garland. High praise saying Garland is the best player in the league though. Not sure I agree with it.
 
It's the leagues fault for letting it get this far with McDavid. He should have been fined at the very elast for his previous elbow.
 
Definitely a suspension for McDavid. Probably not a suspension for Myers given that I'm a Canucks fan and he's a really good person.
Throw the book at Myers he has no place in this… I mean that hit has no place in this league.
 
why are people posting about east hastings? lol
Every big city has its ugly parts...
OVERALL, Vancouver is one of the prettiest cities in the world. There's a reason why it lands on so many top cities lists.
Also, why would EDMONTON fans be commenting on Vancouver LOL.
The area surrounding Vancouver is absolutely gorgeous, but you couldn't pay me enough to live in the actual city or it's suburbs.

I moved away from Canada almost 13 years ago, but if I had to move back, Calgary would most likely be my choice of cities to live in (and I write that as a former Edmontonian).
 
I just think that it's about time McDavid is held accountable for his cheap shots. But not Myers. He's a really great dad.


Don't you mean that you couldn't afford to live in the actual city or suburbs? ;)
I heard he even tips his waiter...
Can't suspend a great soul

whats he gonna do fight every hack artist cheater in the nhl that are constantly hanging onto him
he instigated the wrestling match by tackling garland before he got to a puck that he could have shot down the ice into an empty net. But yeah, in this case drop the gloves against the 5'6" guy instead of taking the chicken shit route with the stick to the head.

the other day he injured a guy on Minnesota - who wasnt holding or touching him- with a cheap shot to the head, the guy hasnt played since.
 
Maybe this incident changes the mentality of Edmonton organization..
Instead of getting tougher at deadline they need to get cheaper..
Pick up a guy like Garland who can just sit on Makar for 20 seconds and then draw a penalty.
A relative of a ref would be ideal.
 
Weird world we got in NHL. No other sports league would tolerate the abuse given to theur league's best player ..yet NHL just let the world hack smash freely McDavid because you can't call everything as then every Oilers game would be ten plus penalties to the Oilers. McDavid has had garland being a shit head for a minute to him. Good for him returning the fire.
The NHL refuses to call their own rulebook and then is shocked when players take matters into their own hands.

The only way inferior teams like Vancouver can contain players like McDavid, MacKinnon, etc. is to hook, grab and interfere at every opportunity. Unfortunately, the NHL generally looks the other way.
