Ryan went for Cup and Bust.You would have to hit a guy pretty hard with your stick to the nuts to hurt them. I have taken a shot from the point to the nuts during a penalty kill and I was okay. Maybe a spearing penalty on the play, but intent to injure might be a bit over the top, unless it was extremely vicious.
That perfectly sums up why McDavid took a stick to the face, and back.You can only take so many cheap shots. Eventually your going to get one back.
Ya like McDavid is running around throwing cheap shots eh. Take the goggles off. Van is dirty like a Hasting back ally.That perfectly sums up why McDavid took a stick to the face, and back.

Yah, Hoglander was running around being dirty all series before this…Ya like McDavid is running around throwing cheap shots eh. Take the goggles off. Van is dirty like a Hasting back ally.
Or don’t run around starting shit if you aren’t ready to face the consequences. That’s still a core operating principle in the sport of hockey.
Only partially joking, but doesn't the league have some liability here if they fail to react against harassment?
Unwanted genital contact is a bright line for workplace harassment.
Do you have the same argument for what happened to McDavid? He messed around or 'started shit' like you say; but I'm guessing you have some sort of goal post shifting double standard here.

Why would you guess that?
To me, everything that happened between McDavid and Soucy was fair game. Soucy got the first shot in, McDavid got his slash in, Soucy comes back with a crosscheck. All of that… whatever.
The problem is Zadorov coming in unprompted as the third man, getting saucer eyes when he sees the back of that 97 jersey, and deciding it’s a freebie cheap shot opportunity. Zadorov’s big-brain moment converted a nothing scuffle into a suspendable incident. Soucy is paying the price for being on the same team as a dummy.
The idea he 'had it coming' is a psychotic philosophy.
It’s really not, though. There are consequences to running around starting shit with people, in hockey and in life.
This thread is kinda nutty.
Stupidest debate ever.
Spearing in the nuts has no place in hockey. This isn't a debate about life consequences its about not spearing dudes in the nuts.
Why are you going so far as to excuse what should've happened (a 5 minute penalty) but didn't with that spear? Is spearing someone in the nuts not "nonsense"? You seem intent on blaming Hoglander for Ryan's overreaction, seems you have a fair amount of bias here.Right, no place for it in hockey, which is why he was called for a penalty.
I’m sorry your team didn’t conveniently benefit from troll antics, and had to settle for 4-on-4 rather than otherwise being on the PK for Hoglander’s nonsense.

You condone a spear to the nuts because he's a Canuck. May as well say it you have a terrible argument just want to make it personal.
