Mcdavid 5min Match Penalty: Cross check to the face of Garland (Mod warning post #282)

[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.

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?

 

[Three On Zero]

Garland had his arm pinned underneath, the dry humping is 97 trying to get escape….and maybe getting some strange while he’s at it.

Not really, no.

 

[Knave]

A lot of weird opinions in here.

Garland was told to interfere with McDavid and that's what he did. McDavid fell on him and then Garland locked his legs trying to stop McDavid getting up like it was MMA and the two of them rolled around for a bit. The referees didn't call it and so it got out of hand and McDavid retaliated.

In terms of importance - you want your skilled players to make plays to bring in money. Who the f*** cares what happens to Garland? If the league suspends McDavid the message they're sending is you get one of your expendable morons to go out there and maul the other team's top player to prevent them from tying the game.

 

[Peen]

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

You could see it. You can still see it if you rewind Bouchard held Pettersson behind the net from 1:24-1:19 and they let it go.

Why is no one noticing Garland has 97’s arm pinned underneath him?

 

[ManofSteel55]

lol, how weak is he?

Oh, we're moving the goalposts, are we?

 

[DimitriL07]

10-9 round for Garland. Dominated the ground game

 

[notsocommonsense]

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.

Your point would land if McD accidentally missed his target. He looked right at Garland and deliberately cross checked him in the head in frustration. Add that the Major isn’t even a real punishment cuz it happened at the end of the game. I expect he’ll get one or two

 

[ManofSteel55]

Because they are too busy calling McDavid the devil to actually look at the play objectively.

 

[LTIR]

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.

Lol at McDavid needing to interfere with Garland instead of scoring a goal with 10 seconds left.

Nice narrative... Garland could've been given 3 different penalties there.
McDavid crosscheck was heat of moment after being held down.
Myers crosscheck was cold blooded intent to injure.

 

[Turin]

1 game seems reasonable. Probably gets a fine

No I think the message they're sending out is you can't retaliate with a crosscheck to the face... but maybe that's just me.

If you say so. I guess 5 second holds are allowed in hockey then.

I can't imagine these lead to multiple game suspensions. $5000 fine, or maybe one game each. I would be shocked if it was more than that.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

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

That wasn't a dirty play lol

Nurse is going to do something stupid, not that it would surprise anyone

Because it breaks the trolls narrative?

Not at all. If you think “McDavid couldn’t move”, I don’t know what to tell you

Everyone on the HNIC panel is saying it's at least 2 - similar to what Matthews got. Soucy got 1 game last year in the playoffs but playoffs are weighed at 2x regular season - so that was also basically 2.

 

[ManofSteel55]

5 second holds happen regularly without being called. 12 second holds happen less often, and are more frequently called when they do happen.

 

[LTIR]

The match in 2 games should be a fun one. Surely will have fireworks

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I think these teams enjoy each other and hope for the other's continued success.

Yeesh.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

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

I wonder if McDavid is yelling at the scrubs again after the game..."Dig In..."

I'll stand by my opinion. It I'm wrong, I owe you a virtual high five I guess, ha ha.
