McDavid elbows M. Johansson

[eviohh26]

im not a Wild fan, at all

like, in the slightest.

you want the wild west, i think .... well, i think you dont, actually.

McDavid is basically the third Sedin.

Sedins never whined that much. Come on man .

 

[McFlash97]

You may need to review the rules if you think that. Rule 45 and or 48 both take precedence on it not being within the rules.

How's the Canucks....

ya, they were a little tougher, for sure.

but, geeky. talented, softish...... no personality? cmon...

i guess Connor would be the first billy goat GruffSedin, followed by Daniel, and then the zboss would be Henrik??

 

[Dessloch]

What are you talking about? What does a concussion have to do with the trip on Draisaitl that has been called a slewfoot so many times but has no similarity to a slewfoot whatsoever?

You are right! I misread your post, my apologies. I thought you were saying that the McDavid elbow was way less dangerous than the alleged slewfoot by the Minnesota player. It was sloppy reading by me, my bad!

What you mean no personality..

If the opposing players manage to elbow him by moving their elbow a centimeter then sure. Of course McDavid won’t be stupid enough to skate into them unlike your guy.

Well, according to that goofy flash dude, McDavid needs to be throwing elbows to protect himself from the big bad ... *checks notes* ... Marcus Johansson.

Ok there was no dive, that just didn't happen, mj got clipped pretty good and is out for a bit.

No way this was intentional, mj throws on the breaks at a strange and unfortunate time and McDavid clearly flinched in an instinctive move, this all happens incredibly fast, not great someone got injured but there I don't see anything suspension worthy and I am a wild fan.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

The play where Draisaitl was already falling forward and was taken down by Hartman's skate moving six inches towards the puck between Leon's skates? Yeah, I'm shocked he hasn't gotten suspended for that clear intent to injure

You perfectly described a slew foot from a known dirt bag player

Which wild fans and which play? The slew foot is definitely Hartman going over the fence into dirty play and I've seen tons of wild fans that are tired of his shit. But the first one, are you talking about the play where Hartman and Bouchard collide right before getting to the puck in the previous game? That play happens tons of times throughout a game. It's called jockeying for position and happens almost every shift. Hell, even on the oilers nation tweet saying Hartman needs to be suspended for that hit you will find oilers fans saying Bouchard needs to be bracing for contact. That is simply ridiculous to compare to McDavid elbowing Johansson in the head.

It was a dirty shot into the post in a 7-1 game. Dude was just pissy that he got spanked and pitched a temper tantrum. Lots of Oilers fans don’t like Bouchard because he’s not physical and gives the puck away sometimes

 

[nORRis8]

I thought this was sarcasm at first. Looked like Johansson dived to me. Mcjesus barely touched him

It was horrible I tell ya....horrible!!!

 

[Heldig]

or Crosby


thats a dirty play

Hartman is a dangerous player.

 

[account deactivated]

McDavid has been doing dirty shit since his very first season in the NHL.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Was he acting when he missed the rest of the game? And when he went on IR?

Wild’s Marcus Johansson placed on injured reserve with apparent concussion

Minnesota Wild center Marcus Johansson has recorded 16 points in 44 games in 2024-25.

They arent mutually exclusive.

I highly doubt he is faking a concussion ... LOL.

I dont think anyone thinks that.

but being hurt doesn't mean he didn't embellish.

 

[North Cole]

What you mean no personality..

I forgot about the NHLs cringe commercials. Damn

I'm offended. I think I like it

 

[hirawl]

It still looks like a deliberate fly-by elbow to the chin resulting in a concussion. No matter how subtle the movement or how barely he catches him.

Actually those are the worst ones for brains when you hit just the very tip of the chin. Very possible that Johansson was even out of it for a fraction of a second.

Anyway it's really hard to understand the victim blaming in this thread. It really is.

He totally chicken winged him on purpose.

 

[Macbanan]

McDavid stuck out his elbow enough that if he didn't, he wouldn't have hit him at all. And now that he did, he concussed with a hit over the chin. An exaggerated movement would only have made the refs notice it.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Fourth Minnesota Wild player to be taken out by a dirty hit.

This. It was unfortunate incidental contact. MJ was trying to play the puck and reached in. McDavid didn't stop or change direction. The elbow hit the head, but to me it looks like the elbow moves at the time of contact, not before as to target MJ's head.

 

[Coffey]

There is a reason the NHL didn't suspend or fine him.
If they did, we would have got the full video stating how he intentionally tried to take him out.

Because it was an accident.

 

[Canovin]

That was like a love tap at best

 

[Dr Pepper]

That was like a love tap at best

Incidental head contact is still contact to the head.

 

[AKL]

My favorite part of this whole exchange was afterwards, while they were cleaning the blood off the ice, and everyone was asking McDavid what happened, he was telling the Wild players that he tried to get as skinny as possible, tuck his arms in as much as he could, when the video clearly shows he extended his elbow out.

 

[MOGlLNY]

meh. not much of anything and the game happens fast. I don't think it was intentional by McDavid but it's an unfortunate result and should be a fine.

 

[AKL]

But good attempt at trying to deflect attention from the Wild player diving in the video.

I personally appreciate him committing to the dive by staying down for 15 seconds, making himself bleed all over the ice, having the trainer come get him, missing the rest of the game, and then choosing to go on IR.

I always say if you're going to dive, you gotta commit, and this is a masterclass in commitment.
