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

[Regal]

Yea where tf do Oil fans keep getting on Garlands case when he was being held down missionary style by Mcbaby

Garland did have his arm, but McDavid gave him a shot too. That stuff usually gets let go. The hold after they get up should have been called, but McDavid hit him not long after that

Also, I think you might need to look up missionary style again…

 

[Bounces R Way]

The best was Draisaitl stepping in after to have a word with that hairy dwarf. Wonder if he carries Connor's purse for him too when they go out on the town.

There's going to be a lot of upset fans in Vancouver on Monday when Myers get a game and McDavid gets a 5k fine.

Canucks fan are never upset when Myers misses games

 

[LTIR]

Garland did nothing wrong in that play and then McDavid Assaults him? that's a lengthy suspension

Nothing wrong other than the 3 penalties he should've been given..
Refs let em go so McD took matters in his own hands.

That's true. I hadn't thought of that angle. They'll be lobbying for a 5 game suspension.

The DOPeS are a joke but I don’t think even they can ignore that crosscheck. The matthews one is an excellent comparable

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Hopefully they take account the vicious elbow last game and throw the book at him...open season on McDavid if he wants to play like a rat!

 

[Frank Drebin]

Connor Garland isn’t going anywhere

He was good last spring. Maybe not 11.6m good

 

[The Stig]

Should Garland have gotten a penalty? Yep.

Is being held an excuse to cross check a guy in the head?
Nope.

 

[Peen]

Refs let Bouchard holding on pettersson go which let the oilers break out right before that and get established 5 on 4.

 

[CROTT]

Did you miss McD lying on top of Garland for 5 seconds?

Lol, Garland was holding McDavid's are the whole time.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Both players were clearly interfering with each other. Refs chose to ignore it and let the waning seconds play out. Complete bitch move to cross-check a dude in the head due to frustration. No defending McDavid on this one. Someone like Marchand does that and this board would explode with calls for him to be suspended for 10+ games.

 

[Three On Zero]

Should Garland have gotten a penalty? Yep.

Is being held an excuse to cross check a guy in the head?
Nope.

McDavid should’ve gotten one long before Garland. Refs really f***ed that situation.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Did you miss McD lying on top of Garland for 5 seconds?

did you miss where Garland refused to let McDavid get up after he hauled him down?

 

[Oilslick941611]

Use some common sense man. Bouchard was doing the same shit to Pettersson on the other end which let the Oilers break out 5 on 4 legit right before that.

They let that go. They then let the Garland thing go. That’s a wash.

well then call the damn penalty on Bouchard. The refs let it get out of hand and lost control. This is what happens when refs lose control.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Did you miss McD lying on top of Garland for 5 seconds?

Garland was holding him then. McDavid couldn't move.

 

[LTIR]

Refs let Bouchard holding on pettersson go which let the oilers break out right before that and get established 5 on 4.

maybe you were watching some special feed.. they didn't really show what was happening with those 2.. maybe both were holding each other

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Hopefully they take account the vicious elbow last game and throw the book at him...open season on McDavid if he wants to play like a rat!

it was open season on McDavid the second Brandon Manning on that shitty Flyers team broke McDavid's collar bone in his rookie season
he fights through more hooks and holds then anyone in the league

 

[notsocommonsense]

did you miss where Garland refused to let McDavid get up after he hauled him down?

When did McDavid get so weak he can’t get up off of a player he’s lying on top of?

 

[CanadasTeam99]

McDavid will get a game. I am shocked they let that runt Garland just hang off of him that long and just ignored it. WTF are they even looking at? lol

Myers was much more cowardly. Good trade off though, Myers is trash and you got the best player suspended.

 

[Jay Harris]

Refs need to call Garland for holding...
But McDavid can't do that even if Garland is a midgit and was hunched over a bit.
Myers was worse as it was more deliberate.
Both should get suspended at the end of the day.... McDavid 2 and Myers 4

 

[notsocommonsense]

Garland was holding him then. McDavid couldn't move.

lol, how weak is he?

 

[Dust]

The DOPeS are a joke but I don’t think even they can ignore that crosscheck. The matthews one is an excellent comparable

I'm not sure there's really a comparable cross check when the person getting cross checked is a tiny human being like Garland. There should be a suspension any time someone cross checks another in the face, but there isn't. I don't see it happening here either.

I don't mind seeing the star players getting a bit feisty out there. The league does a terrible job at calling all the crap that gets committed against them, sometimes they have to cross that line to give themselves some room.

 

[Divine]

Pretty good trade for the Canucks

They play Edmonton again in 2 games. McDavid is likely suspended that game. Usually the argument against suspensions is it doesn't help the team that was affected by the act, but this is one of the rare cases where it would.

Likely both Myers and McDavid suspended for the rematch.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

When did McDavid get so weak he can’t get up off of a player he’s lying on top of?

you honestly think he's rather be intentionally lying on top of Garland instead of trying to get up and get into the play when the Oilers had full possession?
