That got f*** all discipline for his part in the “ heat of the series”…..yeah he’s a real champ…

What point do you think you’re making here in relation to what I said?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Even McDavid said it’s just part of a heated series

How can anyone call this guy soft? He’s a warrior

He's the best player in the world. How else are we supposed to chirp him?

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Correct me if I am wrong but crosschecks to the face (almost) always lead to suspensions, sticks to the nuts only get suspended rarely.

But I think most importantly, when the NHL lets cheapshots against superstars go unpunished, it forces teams to take matters into their own hands the next game.... Isn't this how we ended up with the Bertuzi incident? The Canucks players likely don't care about Hoglander's nuts, but the Oilers goons care a lot about when things like this happen to McD....

IMO, the NHL is forced to intervene in this situation. Otherwise, if one team goes up 6-1 in game 4, we would probably have huge issues.

And as an Oilers fan, I think that Ryan should had been suspended for that dick move. But would anyone really care?

These are all valid points. Sincerely. My main quibble is targeting Soucy and not Zadorov if there’s going to be a suspension. Then again, I’d rather have Zadorov playing.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Likely a lengthy suspension for Soucy.

 

[Ezekial]

Show me numbers to back that up.

I don't think the league is fixing games to advance McDavid


But, Edmonton had the most US nationally televised games of all teams (18), the Avs were second (17) the rest of Canada had 13 - Leafs (11) + Canucks (2)

 

[Grifter3511]

The only people calling McDavid soft are the same ones who would kill to have him on their teams

So you're saying pretty much everyone is calling him soft?

 

[Sasha Orlov]

So real

If the issue here as Jeff Marek said is this all happening post game, then why are only the 2 Canuck players facing a penalty?

McDavid started the whole thing by reacting to a shove with a 2 hander. If Soucy is losing atleast a game & Zadorov is fined, McD should be fined too

Fines are negligible. The max they can give is 5k, and honestly what's 5k to these guys lol

 

[CupofOil]

It was so conventional that you saw Soucy give him back an almost identical slash back before he cross checked him.

I'm still laughing at the utter hyperbole of calling it a "two handed baseball swing", it was barely a bunt. My God, some of these people. It's as stupid as saying that Soucy meant to crosscheck him in the throat.

Zadorov really needed that ivory backscratcher though

Unlikely. I wouldn't expect anything more than a game.

 

[Regal]

Timing obviously made the play worse with McDavid falling from Zad’s crosscheck. Still, the result matters more than intention so I can see if they want to give him something, but I feel like they’ve let worse stuff go. If it’s more than a game though, it’ll be pretty lame.

Lol this thread going as long as it has is making me run out of popcorn

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Definitely respected that

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Unlikely. I wouldn't expect anything more than a game.

I'd put money on it being 2+ games. He could have seriously hurt McDavid after the whistle.

For an over the phone hearing? Unlikely.

 

[rea]

I was told by Nucks fans that McDavid dove to have a chance to get his neck broken

Isn't that the case with Elias when nurse cranked him from behind too? That's what I gathered

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Don't suspend him. Huge win for the Oilers. Soucy sucks and someone can pummel him in the next game. Win Win.

 

[Chris5225]

Dreger says the "experts" he's talked to agree that a fine is appropriate for Soucy.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Don't suspend him. Huge win for the Oilers. Soucy sucks and someone can pummel him in the next game. Win Win.

Oh no! A pummeling by the big nasty Oilers who all disappeared when their meal ticket was getting manhandled after last nights game. Scary stuff!
Anyhoo…

 

[Bgav]

Don't suspend him. Huge win for the Oilers. Soucy sucks and someone can pummel him in the next game. Win Win.

Who's going to pummel him lol

 

[Duodenum]

Should be just a fine. It was going to be a push to the chest but the Zadorov+Soucy combo attack made it worse
Mcdavid isn't injured.
I don't think Soucy has a history? Could be wrong.
They didn't penalize the Spear on Hoglander or Bennett much worse punch on Marchand.

 

[dukeofjive]

Man the passion for this game makes some good poster sound deranged.

Keep it up boys, hope this makes it to a game 7.

Why didnt anyone do something when it actually happened?

 

[JianYang]

Why stop there? Ban him for life!

this comes down to whether you are suspending intent or result. Based on the league's history, they tend to focus on the result which is bad news for soucy.

if not for the cross check from zadorov, each of those 3 plays that occurred are not suspendable (mcdavid slash and the cross checks from Z and soucy).
