Bush League

NHL travel schedule sends this team on a ridiculous tour of North American time zones to conclude with an important division game with a team out of gas. Stripes fail to call an obvious hold/maul/rape attempt on McDavid in a critical moment time of game opens the door to a frustration cross check that's going to cost the game's best player money and games. Game isn't better when blatant shit isn't called against this league's star players.

Tank was empty. Cut this game to one but didn't feel like they were coming back Tough to lose this one because of the precarious season on the brink self-induced drama in Vancouver. Oil win that and Canuckles universe likely implodes on itself. Win it and it might galvanize them through epic level dysfunction. Bush league ...
 
They really just let Garland hang off McDavid like a child hanging off their parents' leg lmao.
Yeah. Ridiculous. this is what the league does. Allows some no talent like Garland to wrestle McD down for a dozen seconds with game on the line and McD boils over not just for this but all the shit in the playoffs too that was allowed.

Then a jackarse like Hrudey calling for the NHL "To throw the book at McDavid" because hes' the marquee player. Like WTF kind of logic is that. call initial penalty and McD doesn't have that reaction.
 
Most Timbits don’t end up being the best player in the world who can’t even draw penalties when he’s being interfered with game after game after game after game.
Don't care. Fight through it. Shove the guy.

Cross checking someone in the head is a coward move. We lost our shit when Soucy did it last year.
 
Sucks to lose to these clowns, but if there's ever a scheduled loss it's this one.

3rd game in 4 nights to cap off 9 games in 15 nights in 9 different cities with 3 different back to backs in different cities. Boys were just gassed. Is what it is.

Good on Davo for defending himself. He shouldn't have to deal with being tackled, punched, and having his face rubbed into the ice while he's down. That's a penalty, and it's a joke that it wasn't called.

Myers on Bouchard though is just ridiculous though. Bouch is just chirping and he gets cheap shotted.
 
Have no idea why they dressed 11/7. The boys were tired and we needed that forward. Skinner should have been in. Josh Briwn brings nothing we really need in a game like this.

Also classic horrible reffing at the end. Zero control of the game. Had a chance to diffuse the situation and refs sat in their whistles and the result is what happened.
 
McDavid will get a game. That's ok.

I bet they give him 2 bc we play these dirty shitstain Cucks again after Washington
 
Cross checks to the face are not the way to play.

On one hand I’m glad Connor is reacting and pushing back. But I don’t like to see that from any player

My guess is one game each because they both did it

It would be so on brand for the NHL if McDavid gets suspended for that while 2 slewfoots in the past week against him and Drai went pretty much unpunished.

As others have said, he should inform the NHL he's not playing in their bushleague cashgrab if they even think about it.
 
Bitch move by McDavid.

You're taught from f***ing Timbits to keep your temper in check. Connors getting a well deserved rep as a dirty player. Dude needs to chill out.
Stop creeping on a playoff teams board and go back to your 9th places missing the playoffs and losing a tip six center cause they all hate it each other's board.
 
I normally don't talk about reffing because I normally assume that they are just missing things due to the speed of the game and other things like that.

I honestly am starting to believe they are told to ignore things/call things a certain way. Absolutely NO WAY could they have not seen what was going on right in front of them, all 4 refs, and not do anything unless they are being told to call a certain way.
 
I'm not sure who is worse, the refs or the "analysts". I can't believe that this is what they do for a living.

Their "analysis" to just give both McDavid and Myers each 5 minute penalties and 2 game suspension is frustrating. The only reason McDavid was pissed off was because Garland was wrapping his legs around him and molesting him. The refs didn't do their job and prevented any kind of comeback. Meanwhile, Bouchard did what to Myers? Looked at him? One is a superstar trying to stand up for all the crap the refs blatantly ignore. The other is a goon who was completely unprovoked.

This would like in school for suspending the bully and the guy getting bullied for "fighting".

a quick "both were bad" then back to McDavid talk and how he can't do that, despite being tackled and held.

but zero mention that Myers attack on Bouchard was unprovoked.
I re watched the play and the first ref to put an arm up was after the McDavid cross check, how is that not purposely ignoring a for sure penalty for a good 10 seconds on the best player in the league?
 
Bieksa as usual with the reasonable comments that anybody would have boiled over there and that McD is such a character guy but everybody has their limit. Totally acknowledges the justified McD frustration with that sequence, and of course not just that but that the NHL allows in their interpretation of rules for McD to be held like that so regularly.

Same game Soucy, the asshole is arguing a call where he held on so hard he spun the Oiler in a circle. Like a dangerous horsecollar. He was actually arguing the call.
