‘Who, me?’

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

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.

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?
 
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.
