If we're being honest here Zadorov is really the one who made this hit as nasty as it was.

Agreed. And McDavid bears some responsibility for escalating a mild scrum at the end of a game.

yep absolutely. He's one of my favorite players but he definitely partially brought that on himself.

 

[Dust]

After Brendan Dillon hurt his hand at the end of a game, I thought that might be the end of the post game scrums. Nothing worse than a dumb injury when a game is already decided.

 

[IslandBeast]

The hit from behind on Petey the game before was way worse and dangerous than any of this but okay.

Next man up

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

This was an incredibly dangerous sequence. I don't understand why the league strains and squints at their rule book to not enforce player safety, while simultaneously pretending extremely clear language demanding that enforcement exists.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Kinda weird to blame Zadorov, who was trying to help the coward McDavid keep his balance as he used Soucy's stick to push off and escape the mild chirps at the end of a hard fought match.

Really poor sportsmanship and it's horrible he suffered a life-threatening injury. The fact that he has recovered fully from almost having his neck broken is nothing short of miraculous and I expect the Oilers to never lose another game these playoffs, blessed as they are.

 

[jackjohnson]

That's true. Our bottom 6 against Juulsen and whoever you're playing on the 3rd pairing. More ice time for McDrai to cook Cole and Myers

Didnt see much cooking in game 3 and 1

Zadorov crosscheck in the back happens a million times.

This is the most ridiculous of all the takes. He didn't push him in the lower back like we see a lot of calls.

In my mind Zadorov's cross check was the most dangerous thing that happened, followed razor close by Hyman, then Soucey (who's actions were only exacerbated by Zadorov's cross check), then McDavid's slash - which actually does happen a million times.
I would have suspended Z and Hyman 1 game, and fined McDavid and Soucey. Soucey's cross check was optically worse as it was a full frontal face/neck and the league punished him for it, but intent-wise I feel like a full on cross check to the lower back of an unsuspecting player and Hyman's Perron-esque crosscheck to the head were definitely worse.

 

[jackjohnson]

The best part about the suspension is we are now inserting our most physical player into the series. Juulsen make Soucy look like a p***y cat.

Juulsen will make mcbaby cry. Hope he gives a huge hit to the princess

You must be exagerrating a lot. Zadorov cross check has happened many times to Petersson this playoffs and i dont see him crying. Even Draisatl is more of a man for taking those cross checks. Why not also look at dirty hits pulled by the oilers. The nut spear on Hogs, baseball bat hit on Hughes face and Hyman crosscheck to Zadorov face. Seems like one team is getting all the calls but not the other. Makes the game look like a joke

Yea sure, the baseball bat hit to Hughes' face and I'm exaggerating.

So where's the stitches on his lips?

 

[VanOriginal]

So where's the stitches on his lips?

Side of his left eye, a few stitches, easy to see, as Zadorov said about Hymans cross check to his face.. It's a hockey play, I got cut, who cares, move on... As should the fans...

 

[RegDunlop]

If it was hughes or petey, they wont even look at it and other fans will just say they are soft. Getting tired of the double standards, makes the sport look pathetic.

They wouldn't have to look at it because those two candy asses would be in the morgue if they were cheap shoted like that.

 

[RegDunlop]

I think McD is (was) l actually ok with Soucys xcheck, as he realized it was because of the xcheck from behind.

Soucy is not that kind of player. Z is. I used to like him but I don't like the cheap shit he's pulling. He's better than that.

Z should have got 2 games, Soucy a fine, and McD a useless (at the time) penalty.

The hit from behind on Petey the game before was way worse and dangerous than any of this but okay.

Next man up

Another soccer player chimes in!

Admitted Oiler fan here, late to this convo.
I don't know what I missed or if I was just too pissed at losing but...
What Hyman play is everyone talking about?

Haha jesus got wrecked, the real time video was even funnier.

I think a fine for all 3 would have been appropriate.

 

[Double Dion]

I think McDavid should have been suspended for it too. One game each for Soucy and McDavid. You know that's not happening though.

He came in and cross checked Zadorov high in response to the McDavid stuff, it wasn't as forceful and didn't connect as much as the others but the intent was there. Edit: partially because Z had his stick positioned in a way that deflected the blow

 

[BCNate]

They are next to his eye.

Come on Nucks, keep beating them up!
