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

[LickTheEnvelope]

Garland did exactly what he was supposed to do, and McDavid embarrassed himself twice, just admit it and move on! Connor should already have been suspended at least 3-5 times before so Edmonton fans should consider themselves lucky thus far that he has received the "free out of jail" treatment from the league time after time!

McDavid takes himself out of the play. He tries to make a move around Garland, Garland hits the puck, McDavid dives into Garland with what looks like a flying elbow/arm to the head basically unprovoked as Garland wasn't even moving.

After that Garland is grabbing McDavid who is grabbing Garland. Sure call holding on both ??? who cares. They both get up and McDavid comes head hunting as Garland has totally disengaged.

Dives into him with a flying elbow?? You mean the one Garland had his arm wrapped around?

If you can't beat 'em, hold 'em?

Garland should have been called for a penalty yes. But Oiler fans are conveniently ignoring Bouchard holding Petey in the Oilers zone. If you want the refs to call penalties then that should have also been called long before this happened.

 

[Heldig]

Refs don’t make the call on 3 penalties Garland commits on McDavid in the lead up to that.

Call the penalty there and all that gets avoided at the end.

The Myers cross check was pretty bad there as well.

But it should have been offsetting penalties. McDavid was wrestling back.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Give both McDavid and Myers 3 game suspension and move on

 

[ItWasJustified]

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

In hockey, you need every component of a team to win. Garland did what he had to do. McDavid failed to do what he had to do. Simple as.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

My point was that people can say a million different things about incidents and at the end of the day it will be up to the morons at the DOPS to decide what happens for an incident that would've never happened had the refs done their jobs. I agree that crosschecking someone to the head/face is wrong but sometimes people lose their shit and this is tame compared to what Soucy and Zadorov did to McDavid last season.

By not calling McDavid for interference after he coughed the puck up. Started the whole sequence.

 

[dirtydanglez]

give him 2 games

 

[Miri]

Considering his salary and point total so far this season, Peterson's not even doing a very good job of that either.

Thats another thing, but no argument there.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Wow that was dirrrrrty

 

[bobholly39]

That's why Crosby has 3 cups and McDavid 0.

High class player, vs this.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Digging the f*** in Garland’s face

crosby spent the first half of his career having full blown temper tantrums at the refs every game. let's not get carried away with his high class stuff.

mcdavid hasn't won shit because the oilers front office is garbage.

 

[daver]

The refs let McDavid sit on Garland to begin with to open up a scoring chance. When they didn't call that, they had no choice but to let them continue to wrestle around.

It should have been offsetting minors.

Sorry, Oiler fans, the McDavid victim narrative doesn't apply.

he tyring to become a goon or something whats going on here lol

Im not much of a Oilers fan but it could have gone either way. they did a good job imo. fell little short. it happens. that's sports

 

[Czechboy]

Elbow.. stick to hroneks throat and now the cross check. Someone needs to check in on Connor. He's in a bad mood lol.

Deserved suspension incoming.

McDavid, Myers and the refs should all be suspended.

 

[SenzZen]

He deserves a suspension there, but terrible NHL officiating allowed it to get to that point by not doing their jobs.

I mean, unless they were directed to allow a Nucks victory. Then they performed their jobs admirably.

 

[andora]

Even if the arm went up on garland did the canucks touch the puck to blow it down?

Lol at the baby

 

[Paul4587]

McDavid is likely getting a game for that but Garland absolutely deserved it, the little rat.

When will the league realise that star players getting absolutely mugged all the time should generate penalty calls?

 

[Chainshot]

 

[PaulD]

Suspension incoming wow that was brutal.

1 game suspension.

You should try watching the replay again - Garland grabbed hold of McDavid's arm and didn't let go. That's the reason McDavid couldn't get up.

Or, just believe what you want. You do you.
