Garland clearly grabs McDavid and pulls him down.
You linked the video, we can all see McDavid initiating contact.

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.
If you think that was abuse I don't know what to tell ya.

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 arm 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.

Well getting suspended for doing something stupid, certainly wasn't the right move.


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

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 contact

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.

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.

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.

Initiating contact is the entire reason they ended up on the ground. Garland isn’t falling without McDavid causing him to fall.

You’re saying Garland pulled McDavid down when you can clearly see McDavid initiate contact which is the catalyst to why they are falling in the first place. Garland didnt just randomly grab McDavid and throw him to the ice.

Did Garland hold onto him? Yes. Was it the reason they went down? No,

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.

Nucks are non factor right now so we are not worried about seeing them in the playoffs. On the golf course yes but not on the ice

Initial contact is a key factor in the entire play.

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.

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

What happened prior to Garland holding onto McDavid? McDavid knocking over Garland as he poked the puck away from McDavid.

The refs f***ed up by not giving both of them penalties, but lets not act like McDavid was hauled down out of nowhere.

Are you saying McDavid should have expected to be molested?

But it certainly justifies cross checking a guy in the head.

Judging by the video it was Garland who fell victim to that.

It's not uncommon for both players to hit the ice when contact/hits are initiated. Garland held him down yes, but you have to understand how they got into that situation.
 
Refs dont call McDavids high stick on Hronek

Refs call play dead when Arvidsson takes a puck to the shin and breaks a leg. He comes back on the ice 30 seconds later healed.

Refs dont call Bouchard interfering with Petey.

Refs dont call McDavids interference with Garland.

Refs dont call a penalty on Garland interfering back with McDavid.

McDavid pulls 2nd classless Marchands in just as many games.

Oilers fans: refs hate us and ruined the game
