Now, I realize that most fans outside of Boston believe it should be legal to punch Marchand in the face, but the fact remains, Marchand was injured on the play and missed the next game. There is clear video evidence of the play and zero doubt that Bennett is responsible for Marchand's injury. Yet, no supplemental discipline. McDavid was not injured by the Soucy cross check and there is clear video evidence of him slashing CS before the cross check. Yet, the consensus among pundits (even ones not based in Alberta) is that Soucy deserves to be suspended. Seems like something is off here.... Fact is, while it was a cross check, it was not aimed at his head... He went down because of Z's cross check in the back, so there were no intend to hit him in the face... He may get a game, which would only be because its McD, as have been said before Hogs got his nuts handed to him, and nothing... I hope, I'm wrong, but I'm starting smell a bit of 2011 here... Hope its not so... TSN all calling for suspensions, and I wonder if the league wants a McD v. MacKinnon Western final for show case reasons... If we have to go through that shit one more time.... not sure I can handle it... Hope the bury McD next game... I don't even care if they lose the game, just nail his ass once an for all... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much exactly what I said in my post prior to the one you responded to. I don't buy into the conspiracy theories. Not now, nor in 2011. Missed calls happen, but there's no concerted league effort to try and scuttle the Canucks. I realize that isn't a popular opinion around here, but it is what it is.

whcanuck Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I honestly think it’s really important to be mean and hard to play against. Chris Pronger was an incredible hall of fame defenseman, but he was also one mean, often dirty guy to play against, suspended several times. He also took 3 different teams to the finals, winning with Anaheim in 2007. Chris Chelios? Couldn’t stand the guy, but he sure was effective as a mean-tempered competitor and won a couple Cups too. Finally we have a team that people might be afraid of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry please explain this, as I may not know this... If a player get high stick during the game, and the refs don't see this during the game, it can't be reviewed afterwards?

McKinnon may not even make the Western final. Colorado’s already losing the series to Dallas. I think the league’s just protecting their golden boy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Silvos is a huge reason why we have a 2-1 series lead. we are kinda lucky to be where we are. When the oilers step it up after being down the Canucks have a no answers and no zone time - we are hemmed in our zone for full periods Silvos has been excellent but he won’t be able to bail us out every time this series could very easily be 2-1 oilers. if we can’t figure out a solution to the oilers when they are desperate we will be In trouble. The series is still young . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d already lost Hammer due to injury and Rome’s hit was definitely late and caused a significant head injury to Nathan Horton. 4 finals games was severe, but it was also a very dangerous late hit. Without 2 of our top 6 D, and a barely standing Ryan Kesler, we had little chance of winning that series. Amazing it even went 7 games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo5789 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/silovs-and-hughes-combine-to-make-desperation-save/ On the first replay of this save, watch Derek Ryan's leg. He takes a kick towards Silovs with his skate. That looks like a very dangerous and intentional play to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player get high stick during the game, and the refs don't see this during the game, it can't be reviewed afterwards? It can't be challenged by the opposing team. Otherwise, it would be an obvious call by RT and a 4 minute penalty for McDavid. Reviews by DoPS are common for Major penalty calls, but I doubt there are any, over accidental high sticks, even when they draw blood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The series is still young . I agree with you to an extent and you make valid points, but the same could be said for the Nashville series. We were outplayed for long stretches and could barely register very many shots on goal. But we’ve found ways to win hockey games. All that matters this time of year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanHockeyFan Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Regardless if the Canucks win or lose this series, it feels nice to be the villains for once. Really shows how you need tough characters on your team like Miller and Zadorov. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 27 minutes ago, GrammaInTheTub said: Agreed. I trusted Cole to learn from some of his misplays and he did. Unlike many here, I don’t consider the bad bounces off him his fault. Similarly, I trust Juulsen to play a disciplined and hard hitting game. Juulsen was great for us all year and many have him penciled in as our regular #6 next year. I’m looking forward to the fresh legs and big hits! And pair him with big Z ..... Oilers won't know which wing is safest to attack on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they saw Huggy was leaking, they should have huddled with the linesmen and asked if anyone saw anything.

Injury was a major reason for that, but I seem to recall a few plays that was allowed, which I wonder would have been reviewed had it been the other way around...

It turned into a back-alley street-fight and the rule book got tossed out the window.
