Strudwick: ‘Do you feel like you need to run from a matchup’ if you’re McDavid?

Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Frank Corrado are joined by Got Yer Back podcast host and former NHLer Jason Strudwick to discuss Leon Draisaitl’s defence of his hit on Aleksander Barkov, Struddy’s three key factors for the Oiler to get back into the Stanley Cup Final and make this a series, if the Oilers need to get Connor McDavid away from the matchup against Barkov, the vibe in Edmonton when Noodles returns to his hometown and Struddy dives into his men’s league hockey skills and more. They are also joined by TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor to discuss the expectations for the Toronto Argonauts, Cameron Dukes’ Week 1 performance, Aaron Rodgers missing Jets mini camp due to an undisclosed event and what this could mean for the team and Rodgers this season and more. They also track the leaderboard at the U.S. Open, relive the Toronto Raptors championship on the 5-year anniversary and Tom Brady being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.

Love these guys lol. I can listen to Strudwick & O’Neill all day long. these guys need their own 4-5 hour/per day show.

"He had his head down." Funny that Drai still had to jump and raise his elbow to reach the head! Draisaitl is a goblin, confirmed.

[@AlwayzFresh]

Anyone on the same team as Bennet deserves, and will get cheap shots. Not my rules. Balance/justice.

[@WoundedWarrior77]

Playoffs are new rules. Live and die by the sword 🗡️

[@MildandLazyGuy]

NHL knows Edmonton without Leon is done. Plain and simple.

[@Capo51]

Liked how O-Dog argumented Drai's hit on Barky. Hayes and Frankie denied all the facts! Well, Barky from 🇫🇮 could play and made the game winning goal 🐆. That hurts. You need a wonder to 4 games in a row to win the Cup. There are not many believers left. Oilers have dominated 2 games out of 3. But no luck. But a wall called Bob. He has been the winning card by far.

[@dangraesser5341]

What were the odds of both nba and nhl finals being sweeps?? Had to be massive payout. I really hope that doesn't happen but it's not looking good

[@dangraesser5341]

The down side to Hayesy argument is that the panthers don't need barkov to beat the oil so trying to knock him out of the upcoming games doesn't guarantee a win

[@Kris-bx5qj]

this is a full contact, fastest game on planet earth...everything happens at break neck speed/Leon went to finish a hit his hands and arms got up and got Barky in the head. there was no malice behind the hit.. Alex Pietrangelo got one game for a tomahawk two hander to the forearm of Leon, he got one game for it. what were you expecting Leon to get for this incident. for the league throw the book at the guy.. i mean seriously. its not the offense everyone making it out to be

[@KazDave]

Hayes and Frankie are wrong.... according to them, the Panthers should choke McD until he passes out. No suspension to do it, afterall it is the finals

[@atrealdino6667]

If oliers lose game 3 there f lose in 5 series

[@mattlucas4046]

If Conor DOESN'T WANT TO BE A CAPTAIN he SHOULD HAVE THE C STRIPPED FROM HIM. Listening to the Oilers' postgame comments, THEY'RE DELUSIONAL. The Panthers ARE IN THEIR HEADS. The Panthers ARE THE BETTER TEAM. NO WAY THE OILERS ARE COMING BACK. Their fate is sealed.

[@peterrobertson2580]

Guys .... stick to sports. No one cares what you think of Trump or Biden. As Hayes said ... its not your concern.

[@StreetFig]

coilers fans coping hard after their "generational talent" players getting exposed as the frauds that they are 🤣🤣🤣

[@dangraesser5341]

If the oil was smart.. they would RUN bob right through the back of the net. That's the only guy that by his injury would swing the outcome possibly. That's not the oil makeup to do that but I would if I was playing

[@spearson103]

That's one of many reasons why you're not playing

[@KazDave]

no surprise there

[@steverobinson8771]

Any fan in this league would want Draisaitl on their team, end of story. I'd take Draisaitl over McDavid on my NJ Devils 😎

[@Hockey7234]

Id take Barkov over both of them.

[@KazDave]

right.... his contribution to the scoring summary is stunning

[@paulelson3277]

If you change the rules of your game in different situations it allows you as a league to manipulate the outcomes of games to benefit you financially. You no longer have an imperial set of rules that define your game , it leads to confusion for everyone and allows the participants to cheat to win . This completely undermines the integrity of the game itself. It removes sportsmanship and respect , just because money is involved in professional sports everyone thinks that anything goes now. You end up with guys talking smack about your family or going” out trying to hurt people” . Where is the sport in that and what are we teaching kids.

[@bruceobrien9315]

Well said.

[@dangraesser5341]

That penalty is straight charging and with intent. The problem with the odonkey is that I have heard him say the league should take it serious. When is he going to wake up and see it's not the leagues protocol to be consistent.

[@RisTheGreat29]

How hard is your hate boner for Jeff? Do you put his picture on a dart board? Do you own a Jeff O'Neill voodoo doll with pins? Did he touch you when you were a child? Are you still a child? I have to know the answer at this point, because every comment section is ranting and raving about "odonkey this" and "odonkey that." It's bordering on illness.

[@bruceobrien9315]

The NHL isn't serious about head shots, until one of their stars is concussed.

[@WoundedWarrior77]

Nail gun 😅

[@TheDetonation]

Why does everyone keep bringing up Draisaitl but never any of Florida's dirty garbage hockey on Overdrive? I don't get why the Panthers are the media darlings over the past two years.

[@gordonbgraham]

The Toronto media are all too familiar with the dirty play of Florida...Draisaitl being dirty is news

[@steverobinson8771]

They couldn't suspend Draisaitl because they didn't suspend Bennett for the flying punch to the head on Marchand!
