GDT: WCSF GM 4 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Tue, May 14 | 6:30PM PST | SPAC | Thunderdome!

[M2Beezy]

The Canucks have shown up for about 20 minutes in each of the first 3 games and have come away with 2 victories and an overtime loss.

So 5 points??

What the NHL is saying with this possible suspension is that it's open season on two-handed slashes to guys after the horn. I hope we hack and slash every player in an Oiler uniform on Tuesday night. Start spearing their guys in the balls and slew-footing their team. What a joke.

 

[crazychimp]

Really hoping it’s just a fine. It’s clear as day the intent wasn’t there and mcchicken was instigating. Zadorov got fined as well so move on. Expecting the opposite though

I hope not as well. McDavid flopped on that cross check from Zadorov and caught another cross check to the face because he couldn’t help but dive even after the game. That cross check was meant for the chest from Soucy.

 

[Bleach Clean]

My guess is two games for Soucy, which sucks, the intent wasnt there but it happend. After the whistle, on the star of the league. If it was on Foegle thered be nothing imo but is Mcdavid so 2 games I bet

Yes, 2 games is the expectation here. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Drance could analyze Tarot cards and have as good a chance at divining the outcome of Soucy's hearing.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I could watch this on repeat for hours.

[Angry Little Elf]

If I’m Zadorov, I pay the fine in pennies

He’s not my favorite but I do appreciate the effort to show what we might be expecting

Those are hard to find.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

If the playoff game suspension multiplier is 4x... you think that Soucy would've got a 12-game suspension for that in the regular season?

With this guy making the decision? Maybe....

 

[calnuck]

If I’m Zadorov, I pay the fine in pennies

If I’m Zadorov I start running whoever I can. Clearly it’s ok to punch and slam a guy, cup check him etc, just don’t cross check them

 

[theguardianII]

I'd bet they give up to Soucy 4 games. Just to be an example. They know there would be hardly any feedback from the rest of Canada or teams still in the playoffs.

Let's see the ruling comes in like;

This is not a hockey play
It comes after the end of the game.
Even though McD and Zadorov are involved this is not Soucy's first suspension.
As a repeat offender he will receive a 4 game suspension keeping out of any possible games the remainder of this series.

Just got a feeling. Then the media will side with the Canucks as it being too harsh.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

So, Soucy suspended for the rest of the playoffs and Sutherland referees all our remaining games sound about right for what to expect from the NHL?

 

[ProviesGhost]

If Soucy gets 1 game; Can he appeal to delay the game he misses?

Trump tactics?

 

[Scumbag Frank]

Tiny silver lining if Soucy gets suspended is he gets a game off to heal his shot block off the ankle
Didn't look like he was even gonna come back for the 3rd period originally

 

[Jovofan]

Anybody worried about Edmonton making a change in goal? Skinner has been the great equalizer so far in this series, I'll miss him if he sits.

Not at all, all three of their options arent very good.

Rutherford is still involved, he won’t let that happen.

Heck even their coach doesn't have confidence in the other options. "We will see Stu again, just not sure if it'll be game 4 or game 5..."

 

[Diversification]

Legit worried about Juulsen stepping in for Soucy. Seems like his lack of footspeed might be a major mismatch to be exploited by the Oilers with the last change. Hope I'm wrong and he's a beast on the PK instead.

If there is a suspension (likely at this point) JR needs to get in front of a camera and channel is inner Brian Burke.

looking at Pickard's game logs, looks like he either is good and give up only 1 goal or gives up like 3+.

Eh, his absence is definitely going to hurt the team though.

I'd prefer Friedman
