This whole idea that players - and not the NHL and the refs - ought to enforce rules and safety is beyond stupid. It has never worked, and will never work.
As an Edmonton fan this should been a 60 game suspension but whatever..
I missed the game last night so I am only just getting caught up now, but I got to agree with Tim here. The optics of the stalking look bad, but the trying to hold each other accountable is fine in my opinion. For years before we signed Lucic the Oilers were constantly questioned about why they were not standing up for their team mates and especially young players when questionable hits came in. This is Lucic doing one of the things we brought him in to do.
But what is he holding him accountable for? A soft rub out that guys like Lucic do all the time?
Lucic was mad that Russell was hurt and decided to exact some revenge for it. To suggest in any way that what he did was hold Joseph accountable for a nothing play is pure bull****.
LOL.. Not permanently barred from playing in the NHL?As an Edmonton fan this should been a 60 game suspension but whatever..
McNobody was a -2 and had no points. That's funny. Joseph got rocked and so did the Oilers.
Hit from behind, interfering with Nuge, and side swiping McDavid. Yeh those all happened in 1 game, and the refs didn’t do ****. Then Khaira AND Kassian invited him to dance and then Joseph didn’t do ****.
Has never worked and will never work? Except every former player and GM says it’s a needed and inherent part of the game. The refs look at penalties and they rarely rarely catch all the infractions tha that happen in a game. Only the players know what is and isn’t a bull**** play, and only players can determine if that situation could have been avoided or not. And only players can police the **** that happens in games.
Maybe just admit that you didn’t watch the game (which is obvious), don’t have any context, and your opinion therefore should be taken with a grain of salt. Its okay, you don’t have to be right all the time.
Oh boy...For every poster who ever makes the lame argument: Players can't sue the league for concussions because they agree to fights and assume the risk ..... well there you go. Mathieu on the ice didn't agree to anything.
Lucic is, and always has been, a hot head who can't take it when other players play better than him and embarrass him... which happens with ever increasing frequency as his skating erodes more each day.
Gutless punk of a player. Tough /= hitting players who are defenseless or giving them a nutshot from behind.
Hope he gets a long suspension.
i'm sure that has more to do with his production over the last ~60 games with a big contract than anything oiler relatedFunny when Lucic was on the Bruins and even the kings to an extent he was the Cam Neely of are era. BIG fan favourite but now that he is an Oiler he is the running joke of the league.
Go figure
Watching other teams in the playoffs is a time honoured Oilers tradition, glad you enjoyed it
no.Remember when Dale ****ing Weise has Lucic damn near in tears a couple years ago.
Ah yes.
Playoff rounds won by leafs in last 5 years: 0.
Playoff rounds won by Oilers in last 5 years: 1.
See you on the golf course, along with your pal Matthew's... you know, assuming his rotator cuff can handle a good swing. Maybe he can just play off your drive?
This seems pretty petty
