Mcdavid 5min Match Penalty: Cross check to the face of Garland (Suspended 3 games )

[BallardEra]

I expected 2.

Guess Parros disagreed with me.

 

[Tebowz]

Wow only 3 games for Mcdavid? that crosscheck was probably the dirtiest one i have ever seen

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Somebody get this guy a McSorley so this doesn't happen again

 

[Sheppy]

I’m actually shocked he got 3. I think it’s good, but I’m shocked.

Figured he’d get 1-2

 

[Deeds26]

He was fined I think?

The video says Suspended twice and fined twice, so doesn't count those.

Myers suspension is void until the NHL figures this out

 

[Bizzare]

He was fined I think?

Myers has been suspened two other times during his career, a three-game suspension for boarding Montreal Canadiens forward Scott Gomez in 2012 and a three-game suspension for a hit to the head of New Jersey Devils forward Dainius Zubrus in 2014

 

[Mattilaus]

Too much. It should be the right amount but the league lets goons get away with way worse with way less punishment.

False

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Seems right. Matthews got two for a less egregious crosscheck to Dahlin and McDavid has a previous suspension. Three is about right.

this is much more egregious lol

 

[Czechboy]

McDavid being a repeat offender could have been a deciding factor in this. DoPS states they can use his previous suspension when looking at newer suspensions.

“A Player is considered a repeat offender for 18 months following his most recent incident that resulted in a suspension. His status as a repeat offender in this category is used to determine the amount of salary forfeited should he receive another suspension.

It is important to note that even if a Player is not defined as a repeat offender, his past history may come into consideration when determining future Supplemental Discipline.”

This could be a factor. Good point. Not exactly a shining week for McD on the 'pissy' side.lol Myers have no previous history?

Honestly, Pens fan, watching the play for the first time -- what a garage league. Garland literally holds Mcdavid so he has to do something about it. Same shit Mario had to deal with. Should have been nothing. Don't cheat.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

this is much more egregious lol

No it isn't.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Wow 3 games for each player is a bit excessive, thought Myers and McDavid would get a game each.

 

[Hammman]

...because Myers has multiple suspensions for this dirty BS already...his should be 5...

Myers has been suspended once in 2014, when McDavid was still in junior. McDavid was suspended in 2019. Both have been fined previously for elbowing.

EDIT: I missed a second Myers suspension in 2014.

 

[eojsmada]

2+, as expected.

 

[McFlash97]

How is he the "most important" player? He's the best player, but as an icon/face of the league he's really really bad.

He is the face of the game. Stop moving posts man. Not even close.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Wow McDimwit got punished? I’m shocked. Finally holding this clown responsible for his stupid actions.

next time he will just slewfoot him and take the fine

 

[Phil Kessels Hot Dog]

Wow only 3 games for Mcdavid? that crosscheck was probably the dirtiest one i have ever seen

It wasn't even the dirtiest crosscheck that shift.

 

[Hammman]

A question of detail that may have been answered multiple times in these 44 pages, but was either ref's arm up to call Garland's interference? If so, the Oilers were dumb not just shooting the puck at a Canuck. If not, that is absolutely ridiculous and the Oilers FO should be roasting them every chance they get.

This has been covered extensively. Both players could have gotten penalties, and Bouchard got away with doing the same thing to Pettersson on the other end of the rink 30 seconds prior.

 

[Yuke]

Myers history is 2 suspensions 2 fines. McD 1 suspension 1 fine.
Obvious history has nothing to do with it

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Myers has been suspended once in 2013, when McDavid was still in junior. McDavid was suspended in 2019. Both have been fined previously for elbowing.

...again, Myers has been suspended twice...both for three games...

 

[Sol]

next time he will just slewfoot him and take the fine

Being a rat has never stopped McDavid so I don’t see why not.

 

[Hammman]

...again, Myers has been suspended twice...both for three games...

Fair, I missed one. But you also completely omitted McDavid's suspension.

 

[BlackDogg]

Connor relieved it wasn't more.

Ironic use of the word Dimwit.
