Maniwaki Canuck Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 20 minutes ago, elvis15 said: 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. Spare us this Stockholm syndrome bs. Supplementary discipline exists (among other reasons) to make up for missed calls on dangerous plays, of which there were no fewer than 5 against us in game 2. That the league has double standards in protecting players is the issue here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 10 minutes ago, Goalie Interference said: 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. He wouldn't miss it ... that figures....

Or at least when they 100% focused on the moment when on the ice. He sets the tone for the team by not going full Torts on bad calls on us. Also makes sure our team doesn’t engage in trash talking or giving the other team bulletin board material. Remember Luongo’s comments on Thomas in 2011? Team is focused on what the task at hand is. I think they are far less bothered than our fans are. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really notice at the time and didn't really think about it until I read your post. They don't like him any more than we do. They probably don't like Draisaitl much either. Coupla snobs, coupla paid goons, not much of a team. Even with the league and the media pushing for them, they won't be able to overcome our superior play and true sportsmanship. The Truth Will Out!

ftmN Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Lovely ethical suspension: -EDM loses the game -McDavid out of frustration instigates with a slash to Soucy -Zadorov slashes back of McDavid, causing him to fall forwards -Soucy's intended crosscheck to McDavid's chest hits him in the head -Hyman skates in from the side of Zadorov and strikes him in the head with his stick. Intent: McDavid (slash), Zadorov (slash), Soucy (crosscheck) & Hyman (crosscheck). DOPS decision wheel: Suspend Soucy, protect the star players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Honestly, a game for Soucy makes sense in a “NHL” kinda way. I doubt Oilers fans are happy with it either. Cole moves to the left and Juulsen tags in, ready to hit everything in sight. As long as Zad and Myers can lock down McDink we’re just fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a short shelf life (even considering the short careers of most NHL head coaches) but Torts has won the Jack Adams trophy twice (along with a Cup ring as a head coach). The Sedins still have a decent relationship with Torts. Granted, the Sedins are just that classy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I was looking closer at that Hyman cross check to Big Z’s face and can’t believe there is no action there. Hyman had intent to land it on his face (he’d have to, to reach up that high) and actually did damage causing stitches. Soucy wasn’t intending to hit McDavid’s face - that was circumstance caused by Big Z, who was hit with a fine. Such bizarre rulings. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftmN Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 "This is cross-checking". The exact same time that Hyman cross-checks Zadorov in the face. DOPS you are a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
