Popular Post Goal_thecup Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 6 hours ago, Jester13 said: Considering that Soucy took a shot to the foot, I bet the team won't give a shit that he sits for a game and Jules comes in. That play at the end was worth every penny and game the NHL delivers. Man, it is so refreshing to have a nasty and mean back end like we do! LFG! You're nailin' it @Jester13. Like Kane's smile drooping down his mug, the whole Edmonton clan is not going to be cheering this suspension for long. I like Soucy getting to rest a bit and Cole going back to the left side. Either Zads or Cole with Juulsen will be fine; Noah was playing well and his development has been good. Plus, we get to beat the shit out of them again tomorrow. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-68 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 (edited) 15 minutes ago, D-Money said: I loved watching McDiver crumple like a lawn chair as much as the next Canucks fan. But the suspension was deserved. One game is more than fair. If anything, after the shot block he took last game, a game off could help in the long run. And we’re going to need Juulsen if this goes longer, so getting him another game here will keep him engaged too. You can say that all players are the same, so why not Hyman too - but that’s nonsensical. McDavid is an absolute star. The league can’t allow players to take liberties with him after the whistle. Roughing him up during the play in legal (or even borderline) ways is one thing, but letting this just slide would be a terrible look. If that is the standard - protect the stars - then where is the protection for Petey and Huggy. Yes, a rhetorical question since there is McDavid on the pedestal and everyone else somewhere beneath him, even Matthews given some of the hits he took from the Bruins that were overlooked and not revisited by the league.

mikey Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 7 hours ago, Ballisticsports said: Didn't this all come about because of McDavids 2 hander slash? Canucks were happy to win, If McDavid hadn't instigated, there would have been no infractions, so why isn't he involved in this meeting? That was completely bs. 1. Huggy bear gets a high stick 2. Hogs gets a stick to the grain 3. It was after the whistle end of game should not be fined or suspension end of story. Complete utter garbage Maybe a blessing in discuise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aquaman Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Can the NHL explain the logic that they're, using here please? Zadorov gets cross checked in the face by Hyman…nothing. Hughes gets cross checked in the face two games ago nothing. McCrybaby gets touched after he slashes and the NHL suspends Soucy. It seems that the NHL is protecting him and takes out Soucy for a pivotal game… Also notice, how none of his teammates came to help him there.. during the incident. Oilers can’t play tough sissy’s;).

There is a HUGE difference between stuff that happens during the play of the game, and stuff that happens when the play is dead - especially when the game is over. Morgan Reilly had the book thrown at him for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeknows Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 No prob with the fine for Zads but the suspension is a joke. He only got hit in the face because he buckled lunder the Zadorov hit. Soucy was aiming to crosscheck his chest and he got a 2 minute penalty which I'm OK with. The suspension is totally unjustified. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's 100% double standard and bs but it's time to move on and focus on game 4. I hope they play mean and physical but don't take the bait because even farting near a couple of the Oilers will draw a 5 for retaliation Keep it legal , mean , nasty and the then bring this series home Absolutely. If they have anything is their heads pertaining to this incident or go seeking some sort of pay back, it will backfire and the Oilers are going to win the mental game and get a bunch of powerplays (the refs will be watching closely for that). The games are too close to give in to that kind of thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I know people want to even things up, but the missed high stick by McDavid on Hughes and his slash, and Kane kicking his skates around when he was turned on the bench, and even his slewfoot are ones we can stop trying to compare. Missed calls are missed calls. This was a little more dangerous just because of McDavid falling and it isn't Soucy's fault other than that he was going to cross-check him in the upper chest. It's kinda a combo deal with Zadorov's fine leading to a high potential for injury. One could argue it isn't worth a game, but it isn't cut and dry. Now, Hyman coming in, that's another story. The only thing that saves him is he half way releases his stick during the cross-check, but then I think that's what actually causes the cut on Zadorov. He definitely comes in hot with his stick aimed way too high and it really should have been looked at. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should of at least been a fine for McDouche I think McDavid's slash was a mitigating factor in Soucy's suspension. If there's no slash before the cross-check, it's probably 3 games for Soucy. So no fine for McDavid *but* a shorter suspension for Soucy. Also, $5K is the max fine, and I'll bet you can find that in loose hundreds between the seats of McDavid's Tesla.
