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

[fancy dan]

lol at the notion that 97 needs to fight anyone, ever.

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

When two adults consent to rough play, there needs to be a safe word. This whole situation should have been avoided with proper communication.

Wouldn’t fighting his own battle be….fighting Garland? He cross checked him in the side of the head lol

Almost all of my home town went off to fight in the Great War, most of us not much older than boys. They dropped us on a beach in France to head straight into battle. I remember as soon as our boots hit sand, we all threw down our Springfields to engage the Jerrys spirited round of fisticuffs.

So hmmmm. Next time McDavid holds or impedes someone. It's ok to crosscheck McDavid in the teeth?

If Mcdavid fully wrestles someone to the ground and holds him there like a WWE match and he is not penalized, I would 100% not be suprised if the person took it into his own hands are cross-checked him.

If the whistle is blown and player is penalized, it never gets to that point. Pretty easy logic if you take off the Mcdavid hate glasses.

Not sure if you need to know this or not but this is hockey and not war lmao if he wants to handle something he is capable of doing it without getting himself suspended.

It's funny. He learned that lesson the hard way in Junior when he injured himself throwing a punch.

Why risk it if you are him? Someone else can get in and do the dirty work.

By that logic Bouchard deserved the crosscheck from Meyers. Because Bouchard fouled him earlier in the shift?

Did I say Garland deserved to be crosschecked? All I said was that calling the foul beforehand, very likely results in no scrum, therefore no cross check. Same probably goes with Bouch too to be honest.

Nobody deserves to be cross checked in the face, but failing to properly officiate the game, almost always results in players in taking things into their own hands. Whistles blows on the initial grab, that cross check does not happen. I am not excusing Mcdavid, he shouldnt have lost his cool, but the refs blew that and lost control of the game.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Insinuating a hypothetical that he still cross checks Garland in the face even if the original hold was called is infinitely more absurd.

The right call is made, it doesnt boil over to this.

The right call was McDavid for interference. After coughing up the puck with the empty net. 100% indisputable.

Yeah sure man. I dont even know what your on about lol

 

[DearDiary]

Oilers had the puck, so why would the refs have blown the whistle for a call on Garland? It's irrelevant to McDavids actions

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Just make him make a public in person apology to Garland and let bygones be bygones

Arm up for a penalty while Garland interferes, whistle blown when McDavid punches the back of his head. Offsetting minors and carry on. Refs decided to ignore both and here we are.

 

[jokesondee]

The guy is sneaky dirty like Kucherov

 

[MCR74]

41 pages? That's chicken feed. Morgan Reilly's pre and post suspension talk reached over 270 pages.

Exactly. Let's see if this one turns into a comparable bitchfest. I doubt it.

 

[toddkaz]

Yes, if the penalty was called earlier, he doesnt crosscheck him in the face. That is not an absurd hypothetical, that is very basic, a to b logic. Sure, it is a slight projection but you acting as if its some illogical conclusion is baffling.

You insinuating that calling the original penalty doesnt stop the cross check is far more absurd.

Thats called a hypothetical and also a "what if" What if the penalty was called....Thats not a fact, not provable and not 100%.

Its an unprovable hypothetical like I said in the first post.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

omg...first time a star ever took an elbowing penalty

look away when you see Messier or Howe highlights

Its absurd this takes 5 posts for you to learn this.

Its absurd that you are so hung up on this hypothetical even though its very basic, easy to follow logic.

This.
McDavid should have kept his cool and the cross check was wrong. Watching the play unfold though how can you blame him... he was completely hogtied.

Ref's blew it, call it what you want. Still the cross check was wrong but I'd be pissed too being held down that long.

 

[Coffey]

Still nothing?

The refs wouldn't have blown the whistle, but Skinner would have skated to the bench and the extra player would have come on the ice while Edmonton had possession and was pressuring offensively. That said, by the time the extra skater got into the play, there would probably be only 5 seconds left, maybe.

Still, an extra player for up to 5 seconds is better than finishing the game 4 on 4 because McDavid is being bear hugged.

Given previous DoPS announcements, should be within the next hour or so?

Skinner was already on the bench. It was 6 on 5

 

[Golden_Jet]

Connor should turn down the Four Nations after this, the league has never cared about his safety and now are actively singling him out for disciplinary action. Why let them keep profiting off him?

I hope this is satire.

 

[Hoglander]

Getting manhandled by the smallest guy in the league, and then not even confronting him face to face, but having to cheapshot him when he wasn't looking... that's extremely embarrassing.
