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

[VeteranPresence]

Curious to know if the Oilers will call up some ECHL goons to 'explain" to the canSucks what happens when you want to play silly games on the ice

His name is Josh Brown and he was useless last night.

So jabbing a player without the puck with your stick isn’t interference. If you can’t even admit this is a 2 min penalty there’s literally no point having discussions with you.

Yeah this isn't a high sticking penalty. It's spearing, and typically that's given a two game suspension.

No horse in this race, but I don't look at vicious superstar retaliation all that negatively.

All well and good for every Conor Garland to play tough guy and give the opposition star player the business, but if things are devolving to the laws of the jungle, it's part of self protection that someone like McDavid will pull the snap show card and keep people honest around him.

Not exactly evolved thinking, but turning the other cheek is a way worse option.

So they lock the Myers thread but open this one up? I knew the mods were biased but at least try to hide it a bit guys. Wow.

you're about to get a DM from one with a "You're free to leave"
because...HF.

I think you guys think people care about you way more than they do. Leafs and Canadiens fans have it too.

It makes it really difficult to have a conversation with any of you because you don't care about the conversation, you just wanna be a victim of some persecution complex.

They do care though. Look at how much attention the Oilers get on the mains compared to other teams. Funny how this is allowed to stay open but the Myers thread locked.

i just opened a new thread with a link to the news of the hearing, which was enough to reopen this thread funnily enough. Lets see how long it stays open for.

The refs were the issue here, you call the double minor at the very least and send them both off.

Yeah, it's all one massive conspiracy. Everyone from Gary Bettman, to the DoPS, to the refs, to the mods and posters on HFBoards are all against the Oilers and their fans simply because it's the Oilers and their fans.

We have a group chat with all of us except you guys.

I'm very surprised at McDavid yet again doing something scummy.

 

[booyakasha]

Perusing X… it’s telling when every single former NHLer is on the same side of the argument.

Rupp, Pronger etc.

only HF posterds seems to think otherwise...

wonder why

 

[HolyGhost]

nice to see so many people think this is acceptable

 

[booyakasha]

What was said and by who?

I don’t think pointing out the inconsistencies on this board is the same as the tinfoil hat brush that you’re trying to paint us with.

Either way the Oilers are a polarizing franchise that many people talk about. Nobody cares about the Minnesota Wild, I forget they even exist until the Oilers play them.

Although Minnesota did give the world Prince so I’ll give them that.

I enjoy watching McDavid lose. I enjoy watching him get roughed up. I enjoy watching him lose his cool. Biggest POS in the league since Torres retired.

McDavid not getting everything handed to him on a platter is can't miss TV.

 

[pearljamvs5]

yup, i even messaged the mods with a link to the myers hearing so the thread could be reopen with new information, the same justification that this thread was opened under, but radio silence, no updated title or anything. fair is fair right?


The bias is wild.

p.s our posts will just get deleted.

You mean the thread that is currently open?

 

[HolyGhost]

NO roughing or holding call against POS Garland?

 

[Oilslick941611]

The one i made

because the info that was enough to reopen this thread wasn't enough to reopen the Myers thread?

No, I mean the original thread that was locked, which is now open.

It’s a shame there is not a mechanism in place to penalize players who harm others so such Wild West behavior wasn’t needed. Almost as if the NHL needs someone (or multiple someones) to act in the role of a, let’s say, “referee”.

Ah, but never mind me, that’s pure insanity.

I was going to retort…but then I saw you’re a Kings fan. No wonder you’re so salty.

If it’s any consolation the Oilers could beat the Kings in the first round for the next decade and it still wouldn’t make up for Gretzky, so Kings fans have that.

 

[Ratsreign]

Really? It is a pretty blatant penalty. It isn't suspension worthy like some of his other high sticks, but it certainly is worth a minor.

That was a “follow through” from passing the puck...

I'm sure the situation could have been policed better in general, it's the NHL and NHL refs are pretty good at pouring gasoline on a tire fire.

But generally, if a star player is disproportionate in his retaliation against someone going after him, I don't mind it.

Or interference/punching Garland’s head penalty on McDavid.

You can retaliate, but cross checking someone in the head? That’s just scummy. Go for the typical mid section cross check we usually see.

 

[Heldig]

How about the toughness shown by Garland?

Takes a strong crosscheck to the face, gets up and re-engages in the play...including laughing at Draistal.
