[@robt9043]

if you look at the Hughes face slash, McDavid was looking right at him seconds before, then looked away when he slashed him to maximize the "accidently on purpose" effect. All this special treatment he's been getting is going right to his head.

[@alcion8423]

@@bonedaddy95 They are both a stick to the face. But basic physics should make it obvious the one travelling further from the pivot point travels faster and harder. You know, the whole reason why you hit the ball with the end of the baseball bat / golf club / hockey stick / etc. Hughes took it nearly on the blade. McDavid took it the shaft between the two hands. Its plain science.

@@alcion8423 not the same a cross check to the face and a accidental high stick to the face is not the same also end of the game and during the game. a normal high stick is a glancing blow a cross to the face is force with the more solid part of the stick, so again shut the hell up about a normal high stick to a cross check to the face, not the same

Vancouver has been disrespected the entire playoffs. Everyone assumed that the Oilers would just breeze past the Canucks. Not sure I agree with the after the buzzer shenanigans but I do not believe the crosscheck was intended to target McJesus' neck. I hope the Canucks win this series and I'm saying this as a Ducks fan.

[@scottsteinbring8078]

It's because most of those people picking are not Oilers fans. We went 0-4 in the season series.

[@deanm375]

@unimpressively_charming I'm assuming you're talking about the punch to the face of Brad Marchand by Bennet in the Florida-Boston series? The crosscheck to the neck of Mcjesus was not intended. Soucy was aiming for the chest. Wasn't expecting his teammate to knock McJesus forward. Soucy was suspended a game so he was held accountable..

[@deanm375]

@@scottsteinbring8078 True but that was also when the Oilers couldn't buy a win. They did not have their feet under them. So I didn't really consider that a factor.

the cross check would not have happened without the whack with the stick first

[@baliktad8]

Not defending Connor, watch the play again. He is shoved first. That why he retaliated.

[@syncmonism]

That slash was nothing compared to the retaliation, it wasn't that hard and was right into pads on the thigh, and the slash didn't come out of nowhere. Zadarov's hard cross-check from behind was totally unnecessary, and he made the cross-check from Soucy far far worse than it otherwise would have been. Zadarov should be getting the majority of the blame and the majority of the punishment for that, not Soucy.

You’re actually messed in the head if you see someone getting cross checked in the neck and it makes you happy. Connor McDavid gets beat up all year long and gets no calls on him, the refs have even said that they would have too many power plays if they called all the penalties on McDavid. Those wimpy Vancouver players need to grow up. They won the game fair and square, they had no reason to cross check McDavid, but they did anyway, no wonder he retaliated with a slash. They had no reason to do that and they should be punished. Most people from BC act like toddlers anyway, so not really surprised by how they were acting.

[@jeodoretoel]

McDavid's response to the situation was pure class. He talked about how that's just the playoffs and he loves it -- but didn't directly comment on the incident itself. I cannot believe soucy has a hearing about this... Where's Kane's hearing about his slewfoot on Hughes?

[@jameson1239]

I think accidents happen, and whether you’re falling, or the stick bounces off the glove, a cross check to the face is a cross check to the face. There needs to be a standard, every rule can’t be subjective.

[@syncmonism]

Someone has to be held responsible for it, but I think Zadarov should get the majority of the blame for that, and the majority of the punishment, not Soucy. His crosscheck was harder, and was from behind, whereas Soucy was probably only intending to cross-check Connor in the chest, which has a lot of padding.

Refs tried to give it to 'em again at in the 3rd, but Vancouver PK prevailed... Good on 'em! LOVED watching Kane's SMIRK get wiped off his face when he realized it was 4 on 4 after all... ... Watch out for a Canucks suspension, and NOTHING for McD-Time for the slash that precipitated it all, though. Was there any word on a suspension for the spear to the groin from last game? Nope, Ryan gets nothing... Soucy cross-check to the head was a complete accident; falling McDefense? after Zadorov hit was the reason... Had he been standing, it would have been a check to the chest, and the scrum eventually played out... But this is Connor Hockey God, so, who knows how biased the NHL will play this... ??
