Thanks for proving my point. Garland knocks the puck away from McDavid and McDavid take Garland down to the ice instead of letting him try and get passed him.
Garland clearly grabs McDavid and pulls him down.

Well getting suspended for doing something stupid, certainly wasn't the right move.What’s the alternative, get punched in the head repeatedly a la Sedin and take no action?
You linked the video, we can all see McDavid initiating contact.Garland clearly grabs McDavid and pulls him down.
If you think that was abuse I don't know what to tell ya.No, I don’t think the answer is to toughen up and take more abuse quietly. I think you respond with unpredictable escalators force as a deterrent. Kinda like Mark Messier used to talk about. That seems fine to me. Penalties, suspensions, all possible. But make it known to others there’s a price to pay to get near you. I don’t mind that. That’s hockey.

Usually McDonald’s causes others to lose shitLost in this is that it was a Perfect demo of how to make McDonald's lose his shit.

That’s a player bracing themselves as he’s already falling to the ice. Well after contact was already made from McDavid. Doesn’t disprove that McDavid initiated contactView attachment 964031
So you just ignored a good 20 seconds of the video or didn't bother to watch past the 10 second mark. Garland grabs McDavid's are and pulls him down and continues to hold on to it for six seconds clear as day. Why are Canucks fans trolling like this, Gazdik is right.

This adds to McD's suspension list. No amount of homerism can spin that into a positive. Goes on the record, and will be taken into account the next time he goes full McBaby.Well Oilers are 10pts up on Calgary and 11 up the canucks (who are a non playoff team as of today)--so he and the oilers have a bit of a cushion to send a message for those think that he will allow himself to get manhandled while the refs have the hands in the shorts. Too bad POS Garland over sold it. He might get more games due to Garlands acting
Actually when the puck is not there that is the definition of interference. But continue.Initiating contact is irrelvant
Initiating contact is the entire reason they ended up on the ground. Garland isn’t falling without McDavid causing him to fall.Initiating contact is irrelvant when a play then grabs your arm drags you down there's no bracing on other teams player and holds your arm for another six seconds and the grabs and tackles you again.
McDavid was playing the puck when they collided, are you blind thats not interference at all.Actually when the puck is not there that is the definition of interference. But continue.

And oversold it? Lol. Garland took it like a champ: he didn't even fall to the ice like %99 of the league would have done. I don't think you know what overselling something means.
And here is Gardland with his arm wrapped around McDavid's elbow hauling him down. Who give a shit who initiated contact?
Point.....the refs f***ed up in not calling penalties on bith of them. They both earned them....and the fact the Oilers had the puck is moot.

Initial contact is a key factor in the entire play.
What happened prior to Garland holding onto McDavid? McDavid knocking over Garland as he poked the puck away from McDavid.Intinital contact does not justify holding a a guys arm as he is going down and hauling him on top of you and then not letting go.
The tussle happened as a result of THAT. There were penalties that should have been called before the crosscheck.
The refs f***ed up...and i honestlyndont blame McDavid.and that's why tonight at family dinner when we discussed this I told my father in law there are 3 jobs I could never do because it would not be good as I don't put up with shit:
1) cop
2) world leader
3) hockey player

The refs f***ed up by not giving both of them penalties, but lets not act like McDavid was hauled down out of nowhere.
But it certainly justifies cross checking a guy in the head.Intinital contact does not justify holding a a guys arm as yiu are going down and hauling him on top of you and then not letting go.

Judging by the video it was Garland who fell victim to that.Are you saying McDavid should have expected to be molested?
