Mcdavid 5min Match Penalty: Cross check to the face of Garland (Will have a hearing tomorrow afternoon, 1/20)

[Three On Zero]

Watch the entire sequence, McDavid commits numerous infractions to start it. Even punches garland in the back of the head.

Oilers crying about reffing never gets old.

 

[Fatass]

McDavid was frustrated and gave Garland the lumber. Didn’t look all that bad. Next game those two should drop the gloves.

 

[MS]

There was no change in possession, and Oilers already had the goalie pulled. Calling Garland earlier doesn't change anything.

McDavid was also hardly an innocent party in the whole Garland exchange even before the crosscheck.

And Bouchard had done the same thing to Pettersson like 30 seconds earlier.

Mcdavid stick fouls some opposing player in nearly every game hes in
Back in the day he would have had the living shit beat out of him multiple times

 

[Quinntessential]

Oh come on, McDavid was trying to crosscheck him in the body. It's not his fault Garland is 4 feet tall and his head is where most guys' elbows are.

Kidding of course.

I think he meant to do it because he was upset after getting manhandled by someone who's only 4 feet tall

 

[snipes]

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.

 

[Senor Catface]

Resolved.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Clearly premeditated. Retaliatory. Straight to the head. DoPS pretty much has to do something according to the rules. The wheel spins.

 

[Danarqhy]

Why did the refs allow Garland holding McDavid down for 20 seconds which led to the players taking matters into their own hands? Shockingly incompetent officiating at the end.

 

[NeverForget06]

Based on how the NHL handled discipline to the Oilers in last year's playoffs as the league furiously tries to crown McDavid with a Cup, I think we can all fully expect that Garland gets suspended.

was this supposed to be a facebook comment?

The best player in the world will get a slap on the wrist. He’s the money maker and that’s what matters to the league at the end of the day. Nobody cares about Garland.

 

[bland]

Viva Kempe!

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Classic Oilers/Mcdavid. Enjoy the suspension.

The guy in your avatar got 2 games for the same thing.

 

[Three On Zero]

Suspension incoming wow that was brutal.

Add this video, clear evidence Garland wasn’t committing infractions first.

ah yes, the imaginary back in the day

He's always loved the crosschecks

He needs to get absolutely rocked at this point. Rats running rampant. Back then people would be exterminating clowns like him.

 

[Hank Plank]

I mean garland basically held McDavid for a good 10 seconds and the refs did nothing. Eventually the players take into their own hands.

Sure thing champ. Another 5 seconds and Mc97 was in his rights to shoot several Canucks.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

4 games. Clown move by the man boy.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

Classic Oilers/Mcdavid. Enjoy the suspension.

Matthews on dahlin was way worse.

Is it possible for the NHL to award McDavid a cup in lieu of a suspension? This is the question everyone is asking each other at NHL HQ right now.

 

[MS]

The funny thing is that one turned out bad but was likely accidental. It was high chest height but McDavid was shoved from behind as it was happening and fell into it. Garlands head is chest high maybe

That whole thing was McBaby having a tantrum at the end of a game and sticking guys and then falling into a chest-level stick when he got bumped.

Hyman also had a worse cross-check on a Canuck - that was intentionally to the head - on the same play that received zero supplemental discipline.

The whole thing was an exercise in the league making a public display that teams aren't allowed to touch McDavid no matter how much dirty stickwork he pulls and how much he hides behind his teammates.

 

[Soups On]

Re-watched the last bit and yeah the refs lost control - they let the Bouchard play on Pettersson go and then let Garland get away with interference.

But all the rock eaters saying good for McDavid taking things into his own hands - l m a o. He could've done that without the headshot - that's a bitch move.

Myers being a moron again - what's new. Both these guys are getting suspended.

Yeah, being wrestled down by a hobbit would be embarrassing.
