I read somewhere McDavid is in the bottom one third of players drawing penalties. How is that possible for the best player on the planet?
It's the Broad Street Bullies effect. Commit so many penalties they can't call them all. McDavid could draw a penalty every shift because someone is always hooking or holding him. To his credit he doesn't dive, and on occasion he snaps to keep them honest. If they had called Garland for holding, humping and raping him, Garland would still have his teeth.

Definitely remember the Tostito multi goal game
Not exactly a well known moment in hockey history, but I was there when he racked up 37 PIMs in one playoff game against Hershey in 2016. Tommy played for the Baby Pens at the time and was already hated in Hershey by that point.

Fought Liam O'Brien right off the opening faceoff. The two had been fighting on Twitter that week (yes, it was as dumb as it sounds) and there was anticipation something would happen. Tommy threw multiple punches while O'Brien was prone on the ice and picked up a 10 minute misconduct as well. 5+10. Probably not coincidentally, the AHL made fighting off a faceoff an automatic game misconduct the next year.

Elbowing penalty in the second period. 5+10+2.

Scored a goal in the third period, taunted the crowd and earned another 10 minute misconduct for his troubles. Automatically got the boot for receiving two misconducts in one game. 5+10+2+10.

You'd think it ended there given he was kicked out of the game, but after the final horn, he came back out to the tunnel to berate the refs some more and earned another misconduct. 5+10+2+10+10.

Never seen anything like it, in person at least. Special player, Tom Sestito.

A goal to go along with that is truly top comedy


Big tough guy that Marchand
