Probably not even that.
DoPS is a farce. Parros couldn't run a lemonade stand.

After watching playoff hockey for 35 years I find this suspension hilarious.
One game, not ideal but I'll take it.
Hoping that our boys can channel our anger outrage to win the next game.
Only easy day is yesterday.

I don’t see any reason why he would now. They’ve already announced everything. Zadorov fine, Soucy hearing, Soucy suspension.

The language used there seemed deliberate to dodge a hyman suspension.
“Forceful” “draws stick back”
Hyman also had his stick high (actually much higher), made contact with the face, it was after the game ended so it’s not a hockey play.
But I wouldn’t say it was forceful or that he drew his stick back. Though the latter seems like some weird thing to nitpick

From the suspension video: "forceful, high, two handed cross check that makes direct contact with the player's head. This is crosschecking".
Ok so, Hyman will surely be suspended 1 game as well.

Disgraceful decision if Hyman gets nothing. Apparently you can crosscheck anyone in the head as long as it's not McDavid.
NHL is a complete joke.

I am okay with the 1 game for Soucy. Hyman should get something even a fine 50k and if it was payable to me I would be happy with that.

Absolute garbage decision. Disgraceful.
Their bias could not be more obvious if they shouted it from the rooftops.

TSN and their buddies pushing this like Soucy is a Norris Trophy winner turned goon.
Whatever, play game 4 and just win.

You'd hope Rutherford would have some more pull with the league here. Kane on Hughes, Hyman on Zadorov, Ryan on Hoglander all get nothing, But Zadorov and Soucy, open your wallets.
Of course not. But by the very same explanation he should.

Come on y'all, everyone saw this coming once the media blitz started. Just crush them in Game 4 and tear out their hearts.
NHL is bush league, no surprise there smh
Zadorov can get his own revenge and continue to live rent free in the Oilers heads too.

In the words of Veep, I wouldn't trust Parros to fill a f***ing bath tub without the fire department and the coast guard on standby.
Media pushed Hyman thing way too late, needed to get out ahead like the coiler media.
Honestly I'm a bit impressed with the DOPS showing restraint - they could've VERY easily spun this as a 2-3 game suspension, and over charged Soucy with the whole truckload, because the refs themselves are a bunch of pathetic cock suckers who allowed basically the entire 23-24 playoff get completely out of control, with shit like Bennett's sucker punch on the rat, and McDavid slashing Hughes' face.
But this is an EXTREMELY low standard lol.

Soucy’s stick wasn’t really “high” by definition, it was chest level, but whatever the biggest piss off isn’t the already known fact the DOPS is a bunch of idiots, it’s the inconsistency across other plays even recently, let alone historically.
Can't he appeal the suspension? potentially allows him to play tomorrow.
Then most likely miss game 5 on home ice while up 3-1 and edmonton in full meltdown mode

Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid OK after cross-checks, calls incident 'part of a heated series' | TSN
While Connor McDavid largely declined to comment on the end-of-game incident that has left Carson Soucy facing a hearing, he said he's enjoying the physicality of the series.

"McDavid OK after cross-checks, calls incident 'part of a heated series"
Oh thank god he's ok! You always worry about these life-threatening injuries.

Players don't get to play while an appeal is ongoing - and the appeal takes forever. Best case would be a moral victory, and that wouldn't be worth much in the end.
The suspension is probably fair for the act. When put into the context of other shit that gets allowed (including Hyman on Zadorov seconds later), it just becomes difficult to swallow because there is no internal consistency in DOPS.

I believe appeals means he sits out still until it's resolved so it's pointless for shorter suspensions, I think the player recoups salary lost but that's it.
