McDavid elbows M. Johansson

[Luceni]

So that's legal now, according to refs:



Should be a suspension, but it's McDavid so likely nothing is gonna happen imo. Don't get me wrong, I love watching McDavid, he is an awesome player. But that was just a dirty play and it was on purpose too.

Flame away.

Viva Kempe!

Personally, i enjoyed it

 

[Acallabeth]

This would be 2-3 games even 10 years ago

 

[Mr Nogatco]

‘Who, me?’

 

[tabness]

the real issue is Minnesota was soft, you gotta run the guy if he does this to your teammate, doesn't matter if he's a superstar

 

[Bounces R Way]

loser move

 

[Tobias Kahun]

$5k fine.

Hartman tried kicking draisaitl to get some revenge.

 

[Diglett]

Excellent selling, should have been a professional wrestler.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Mcdavid did flinch his elbow a bit but Johansson dropped like a sack of hammers. So either Johansson is soft or he tried to sell it.
Mcdavid will get a fine at most.

? McDavid was skating past him and Johansson threw his face at McDavid's elbow.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

SNEAKY. I don't approve but it's 'McJesus' so nothing will happen.

 

[hirawl]

Sneaky ass chicken wing to the jaw. Should've been tossed. Will be fined.

 

[Terry Yake]

He “flinched his elbow” at dude’s face and connected with his chin, seems like you’re downplaying how grimy of a play that is

 

[JoeSakic13]

Johansson should face a couple game suspension for throwing himself into McDavid’s elbow like that

 

[OilerTyler]

Definitely a missed penalty. It was a pretty minor elbow that was hard to see at full speed though.

The refs didn’t seem interested in calling anything after the first period tonight.

He's soft because mcdavid gave him a concussion by elbowing him in the head? I'd love to find out how soft you are

 

[Spurgeon]

Excellent selling, should have been a professional wrestler.

He didn’t return to the game & is expected to miss time.

Scumbag move by McDavid to elbow a guy in the face who has a past history of concussion issues.

Likely gets a fine.

Gotta be with a massive target on your back every single night.

Watch it in real time. Literally no one on ice knew what the f*** happened. Not the Wild. Not the announcers. Not the Refs. Not even McDavid. He was literally gliding through after making a pass. Johanssan all antsy and unsure what McDavid was going to do with the puck, starts spazzing out and ends up ramming his face into McDavid's elbow as McDavid continued his glide. McDavid flinched and braced the contact which explains the 4cm movement in his elbow in super slow mo.

Look at Johanssen's head right before contact. It's moving backwards INTO the path of McDavid's elbow. Look at McDavid's eyes just fully focused ahead and not even looking at Johanssen spazzing out and making random movements.

 

[trick9]

So.. Johansson left the game with an upper-body injury, didn't return and he's now soft?

I mean, it's an elbow to the head. Should be a major and likely few games since it caused an injury.

Nobody believes McDavid is going to get suspended though. Perhaps a fine?

 

[Talonted]

Bad camera angle so inconclusive video

Think of every elbow you've seen in your life. Bure on Churla. Messier on Everyone. Ultimate Fighting Championship. Pride Fighting Championship. K1 Kickboxing. Muay Thai GP.

Have you even seen an elbow thrown with 4cms of arm movement? Cmon! A NUDGE at best.
