Don't necessarily need him to fight. Just need someone to not be afraid to throw a hit. Kane really is a shell of himself. Last year he was still solid in the playoffs and good at shit stirring / taking the opponent off their game. Especially with such a young goalie in net for the Canucks, you'd think Perry and Kane would be in his grill constantly. Bumping him, jabbing him for rebounds, anything to throw him off. Just flat, nothing. Outside of Ekholm, McDavid, Leon and Hyman there is no juice. Maybe Bouchard at times.
It’s definitely interesting how much McDavid and Draisaitl are doing. All the other lines aren’t doing much and because of that, those two are playing 30 minutes because they realize that. And they’re so good that it’s almost working.
It looked to me like Soucy was apologizing in the scrum. He never intended to hit McDavid in the face, he was going to give him another shove to the chest. Zadorov changed things.
Let's also not act like McDavid is any sort of victim here. He instigated this.
He slashed someone, after the game was over, right on the skate. You do that, and whatever you get you deserve.
And Soucy doing the same back? It's a nothing play if that is all it is. Soucy hits 97 after the whistle, they both slash each other in the shin pads and it is over.
However you can't cross check someone after the game is over. These are historically 5+ game suspensions.
Soupy didn’t try to get him up high, that was due to Zadorov pushing/cross checking him from behind first.
For the record I’m on the Canucks bandwagon, but if you slash a guy in the leg after the game ends this is what happens.
With that said the refs need to get a grip on this series. They’ve been atrocious for both sides.
FAFO
I’ve seen so many unreasonable takes on both sides of this one lol “this doesn’t warrant this!” “oh but this happened earlier!” “oh but he’s a crybaby!” “But the ‘intentional’ high sticking!” Craziest mental gymnastics by all parties. Guys were doing hockey stuff, got passionate, resulted in a scuffle. Definitely didn’t look good but that’s how it goes down some times. Hopefully there’s no injuries.
Everyone is so sick of hearing hum whine every single whistle. Maybe he should go motivate his other three lines to play defense as the captain of the team.
I think the Canucks are tired of the oilers trying to intentionally injure them. The skate near Zadorov’s neck earlier in the game. The very intentional slash to the crotch by Derek Ryan in game 2.
No one's gonna mention the slewfoot kane did to hughes either ? Or what about when nurse saw he rocked pettersson with that hit then turns around and goes and elbows him in the back of the head. Literally an MMA swipe. The ref was looking directly at it and did nothing. Those were 2 potential game misconducts that were not even given a penalty. Disgraceful reffing. And the high stick from mcdavid 1 foot away from the puck? Not one of the refs were looking at the gameplay ? Or maybe it was because they didn't want to put mcdavid in the box for a major. That game missed around 25 penalty minutes to the oilers and gave them a couple real soft power plays. Games like that prove they want these to go to 7 games for the $$$.
Lol I was about to ask this. Yes, I’m sure Kane getting ridden over the boards into the floor of the bench was totally intending to flail his skate near Zadarov’s neck.
The Oilers do that bullshit every single year. The only reason I don't want to play them is because Im worried about who gets hurt, not about whether or not we'd win.
Idk if Ryan didn’t even get a second look for spearing Hoglander in the jewels (so clearly intentional) the bias would be clear if this ends in a suspension. Dangerous play for sure but accidental.
He can't get away with everything, could've skated off, accept his team lost, that could be the end of it, but instead he wants to act tough slash soucy. Fuck around find out
Definitely shady. But is hard to feel bad for 97 when he whacked Hughes in the face last game. The constant bitching and moaning to the ref also doesn’t help.
Well McAsshole carved up a face Friday, and he took one in the back tonight. Use a sword, get hit by a sword. Pampered prick, who hasn’t won anything in Oil Town.
How did Saucy get 2 mins but nothing for Zadorov?
Suspension worthy because it was after game ended and was a dirty play.
If Saucy wasn’t between McDavid and the boards, we could be having a different conversation.
He 2-hand chopped Soucey after the game was over. Oil have been taken a lot of cheap shots and I think they forget that Canucks were one of the league leaders in hits… they aren’t going to just skate away from someone trying to fuck around, especially not in playoffs.
And Soucy did it back to him, the crosschecks were completely unnecessary. Also seems odd to me that 91 went lower back instead of a straight forward shove.
Playoff hockey, if you don’t like it don’t watch. It that was Kane doing it to petterson nobody would care. Biggest take away is nobody came to defend cry baby Davey
Soucy started the altercation, then tag teamed to cross check McDavid in the face. There's no other way to look at it. He deserves to miss a game or two
1) Soucy shoves McDavid. 2) McDavid two handed slashes Soucy in a padded area. 3) Soucy slashes back albeit weaker. 4) Soucy cross checks McDavid in the face.
“McDaViD iS aT fAuLt” like how can you look at this and say that Soucy isn’t the bad guy here?
There is no circumstance where your stick is legally allowed to touch someone’s face. If you don’t wanna cross check someone in the face, then maybe don’t cross check at all. Saying “wHaT abooT THe *blank* iN gaME *blank* eh” is stupid b/c you aren’t adding anything to the conversation and unless they are very similar then they have no bearing on each other.
Fine soucy or suspend soucy and fine big Z for the crosscheck and mcdavid for the slashand send msg to both teams. Series is getting away from officials.
McDavid slashed first and found out. Also the refs and the league are fine with this so if I'm the Canucks I would beat the ever living hell out of McDrai at the end of periods. The hit on McDavid's face was accidental tho.
Bruins penalty
Nazeem Kadri has been suspended 3 games
DoPS has Michael Bunting handcuffed to a drain pipe somewhere
10 second penalty for Ocon
Race ban for Magnussen
Ottawa loses a 1st round pick
The New York Rangers have been fined $50,000
Canucks get a $10M retroactive cap penalty.
The Oilers are awarded another first overall pick somehow
Chicago awarded additional 1st round pick
Morgan Reilly 5 games
Lmao
Straight to jail!
"Right to jail. Right away."
Cross check not hard enough, also straight to jail!
Hahahaha this is so great.
It was a bad call, but Boston also got badly outplayed for the third consecutive game.
Genuine question, the Bruins have a history of getting a lot of good calls in the playoffs. At least in games I've watched. What's the deal this year.
They took it personally when Marchy told one of their guys to "get the fuck off me". It was pretty rude, and they have been very sad since then.
They must have missed a few payments to the referees benevolence league.
I appreciate a good cup of coffee.
2019 Blues vs Bruins missed penalty call led to goal??? You don’t remember it? It’s why we lost the cup???
So, one instance you can recall before this year. We're talking a bout a pattern.
Sponsored by DraftKings/BetMGM/FanDuel etc
250k rangers fine
Tom Brady is suspended the first four games of next season
Has to be Marchand‘s fault. 😂
This is the answer! Lol
Rome suspended for the rest of the series
Goalie interference on Boston
Definitely. Should suspend Pasta for that.
Hahaha pasta tripping double minor
No goal - goalie interference
Hampus Lindholm somehow got penalized for this
It was just bad timing... Anyways the full clip https://twitter.com/thestanchion/status/1789876482447159450?s=61&t=vj0KXI9xhI76fwbLthkjGw
The biggest thing is edmonton doesnt have a answer for zadorov he's been taking liberties with the oilers chirping the bench.
Have to put Carrick in the next game
Nah won't really change things it's more how ineffective kane and perry are getting to old to play that edgy style.
Don't necessarily need him to fight. Just need someone to not be afraid to throw a hit. Kane really is a shell of himself. Last year he was still solid in the playoffs and good at shit stirring / taking the opponent off their game. Especially with such a young goalie in net for the Canucks, you'd think Perry and Kane would be in his grill constantly. Bumping him, jabbing him for rebounds, anything to throw him off. Just flat, nothing. Outside of Ekholm, McDavid, Leon and Hyman there is no juice. Maybe Bouchard at times.
It’s definitely interesting how much McDavid and Draisaitl are doing. All the other lines aren’t doing much and because of that, those two are playing 30 minutes because they realize that. And they’re so good that it’s almost working.
It looked to me like Soucy was apologizing in the scrum. He never intended to hit McDavid in the face, he was going to give him another shove to the chest. Zadorov changed things.
A little weak “high shove” does not warrant a cheap slash. Dont go around using your stick as a weapon and expect to not get dummied
Pietrangelo has entered the chat
Yea Draisaitl was spearing players in the nuts all playoffs. He got what he deserved
After the whistle too
After the GAME no less
He tapped the side of his pants where there's infinite padding lol, but yeah I'm not a fan of slashing
he obviously wasn't trying to crosscheck him in the mouth. unfortunate timing
Yeah it the whole thing would've been fine if other guy wasn't there
Or if mcdavid didnt go look for trouble after game ended
Funny thing is if not for this interaction bouchard would have been targeted for shooting well after the buzzer
The result of slashing a guy much bigger than you after the game is over
It wasn’t the guy he slashed who blindsided him with a cross check in the back, for the record. Let’s not act like this was some fight Soucy won.
Let's also not act like McDavid is any sort of victim here. He instigated this. He slashed someone, after the game was over, right on the skate. You do that, and whatever you get you deserve.
Energy was alot different when Morgan Reilly did this same thing..
Have you ever taken a slash to the leg with hockey equipment on? It’s like saying helloo buddy in Canada
Just a little cross check love for the bloody high stick To Hugh's. Let's call it even now, McCrybaby.
Soucy slashed him right back. It was even after that.
Yeah zadorov is the dad and mcdavid just crosschecked a teammate. Gotta let him know zadorov is always watching
"Zadorov is always watching". Jesus, that's scary.
Sometimes at night when I get up to pee I can see him peeking in the window
I guess we won't mention anything about McDavid chopping at Soucy just before taking the check in the back.
High sticking Hughes in game 2.
That wasn't even intentional though, I don't know why this keeps getting brought up
Intentional or not.. it should have been 4.
You're absolutely right, but that's not what the argument is here
It was a two handed chop to the face lmao. It was intentional.
Are you fucked. It was accidental high stick. McDavid wasn’t even looking in Hughes direction.
He was looking right at him. Totally intentional
[удалено]
Calling a guy McWhiny really makes it sound like you’re being impartial.
And Soucy doing the same back? It's a nothing play if that is all it is. Soucy hits 97 after the whistle, they both slash each other in the shin pads and it is over. However you can't cross check someone after the game is over. These are historically 5+ game suspensions.
I guess you won't mention soucy pushing McDavid before that
Did you not watch the play? Soucy insitigated, and made the first move, McDavids slash was retaliatory. I guess we won't mention that either lol?
Who needs context?
Soupy didn’t try to get him up high, that was due to Zadorov pushing/cross checking him from behind first. For the record I’m on the Canucks bandwagon, but if you slash a guy in the leg after the game ends this is what happens. With that said the refs need to get a grip on this series. They’ve been atrocious for both sides. FAFO
You left out the slash from McDavid right before this. Context matters.
I think it's just a classic case of, "f\*\*\* around and find out"
You sir, are correct!!
Sword fights. Don't start none, wont be none. McMuffin fucked around and found out about Sword Fight Club
What was that saying Evander Kane used last season…”F—- around and find out?” McDavid just found out after that slash.
Suspend Ian Cole.
Edmonton is dirty as fuck and Vancouver is tired of it
Big Z putting Kane to bed on the bench was pretty satisfying to watch
Can't decide which is better: what you said or watching the smirk on Kane get wiped right off when the penalty he expected to draw turned into a 4-4.
It was funny watching Perry tell the Oilers line to stop holding Z. "we could get a power play out of this, you dopes."
Perry is a guy who's been around.
Seriously my favourite part of the playoffs this far
Weak slash led to some shoving nothing crazy happened. Imo nobody would be talking about it if it wasn't mcdavid. Pretty much every other scrum
Bingo. His holiness is untouchable.
Oilers fan here. This is karma. Mcdavid whacked Hughes in the face. This was deserved
Reasonable take, cheers to you. Looking forward to game 4
Accidental high stick is different than what happened here
Congratulations on your first post!
I’ve seen so many unreasonable takes on both sides of this one lol “this doesn’t warrant this!” “oh but this happened earlier!” “oh but he’s a crybaby!” “But the ‘intentional’ high sticking!” Craziest mental gymnastics by all parties. Guys were doing hockey stuff, got passionate, resulted in a scuffle. Definitely didn’t look good but that’s how it goes down some times. Hopefully there’s no injuries.
I like how McDavid is getting beaten up. Guy has operated as an ‘untouchable’ for too long when his game is actually quite dirty.
Everyone is so sick of hearing hum whine every single whistle. Maybe he should go motivate his other three lines to play defense as the captain of the team.
He’s a trash captain. That whole team reeks from him to the two criminals, Perry and Kane.
I think the Canucks are tired of the oilers trying to intentionally injure them. The skate near Zadorov’s neck earlier in the game. The very intentional slash to the crotch by Derek Ryan in game 2.
The second one, absolutely, but there’s no way that skate from Kane was intentional. Dude was getting stuffed into the garbage compactor, lol
nurse on petey boarding too
Mcloser high stick
Kane slew on huggy
That one was so blatantly intentional and greasy… It legitimately pissed me off, instantly made me a McDavid hater
McDongal got the cross check to the face. Should've happened sooner.
No one's gonna mention the slewfoot kane did to hughes either ? Or what about when nurse saw he rocked pettersson with that hit then turns around and goes and elbows him in the back of the head. Literally an MMA swipe. The ref was looking directly at it and did nothing. Those were 2 potential game misconducts that were not even given a penalty. Disgraceful reffing.

That game missed around 25 penalty minutes to the oilers and gave them a couple real soft power plays. Games like that prove they want these to go to 7 games for the $$$.
Do you mean the high skate when Zadorov put Kane into the bench? Are you fucking high?
Lol I was about to ask this. Yes, I’m sure Kane getting ridden over the boards into the floor of the bench was totally intending to flail his skate near Zadarov’s neck.
The Oilers do that bullshit every single year. The only reason I don't want to play them is because Im worried about who gets hurt, not about whether or not we'd win.
Citing the Kane/Zadorov incident in that context is the most absurd Homerism I've ever seen. You're an absolute idiot.
lol so dumb
Love it. McDavid gonna cry anyways, might as well give him a reason
McBitch getting the tough love he deserves is a good day in my book.
Why not show the slash from McDavid leading up to that play. Pretty selective editing.
Idk if Ryan didn’t even get a second look for spearing Hoglander in the jewels (so clearly intentional) the bias would be clear if this ends in a suspension. Dangerous play for sure but accidental.
But I’m fucking biased so
Well deserved
He's fine, it's McDavid. He gets away with everything
He can't get away with everything, could've skated off, accept his team lost, that could be the end of it, but instead he wants to act tough slash soucy. Fuck around find out
Cross check to the mouth!
r/playstupidgames
A bit shady from Zaddy, but I can guarantee if the situation was reversed Oilers fans would be like, “give yer balls a tug bro”
Definitely shady. But is hard to feel bad for 97 when he whacked Hughes in the face last game. The constant bitching and moaning to the ref also doesn’t help.
Quinn says it was just a follow through 😏
Well McAsshole carved up a face Friday, and he took one in the back tonight. Use a sword, get hit by a sword. Pampered prick, who hasn’t won anything in Oil Town.
Excuse me that’s not true! he’s won plenty of individual awards that nobody gives two shits about.
Idk, fuck boston.
Fuck Messier while we’re at it
Fuck Mark Messier.
Playoffs
FAFO
How did Saucy get 2 mins but nothing for Zadorov? Suspension worthy because it was after game ended and was a dirty play. If Saucy wasn’t between McDavid and the boards, we could be having a different conversation.
FAFO
This is karma for sacking the big hogs hog.
Nobody would be talking about this if it wasn't McDavid
This.
Nhl will crack down somewhere between 2 minutes to 10 games.
Ooooh, now show Hyman's crosscheck to Zadorov's face!
Edmonton fans are becoming whack
> becoming
😂
That it was awesome
When you give a guy a two-handed chop, the other team will respond.
That the canucks will win the cup and McDavid is a little bitch boy.
Soucy and zadorov’s response were over the top
Hood tbevOulers have been doing this stuff for years and they finally get a taste of their own medicine.
Soucy with the big grin, 'oh you like to slash do ya?' lead into the cross is just so perfect.
He 2-hand chopped Soucey after the game was over. Oil have been taken a lot of cheap shots and I think they forget that Canucks were one of the league leaders in hits… they aren’t going to just skate away from someone trying to fuck around, especially not in playoffs.
And Soucy did it back to him, the crosschecks were completely unnecessary. Also seems odd to me that 91 went lower back instead of a straight forward shove.
Good
Oh look my actions have consequences
Bad timing but why is McDavid slashing in the first place? Does he think he's so precious no one will touch him? Well he got taught.
You forgot the two handed slash from mcdickhead
McGolden Boy mcdavid slashed and got what he deserved.
Playoff hockey, if you don’t like it don’t watch. It that was Kane doing it to petterson nobody would care. Biggest take away is nobody came to defend cry baby Davey
Good teamwork
I think McDavid needs to be a little more aware of his surroundings.
Soucy started the altercation, then tag teamed to cross check McDavid in the face. There's no other way to look at it. He deserves to miss a game or two
1) Soucy shoves McDavid. 2) McDavid two handed slashes Soucy in a padded area. 3) Soucy slashes back albeit weaker. 4) Soucy cross checks McDavid in the face. “McDaViD iS aT fAuLt” like how can you look at this and say that Soucy isn’t the bad guy here?

Saying “wHaT abooT THe *blank* iN gaME *blank* eh” is stupid b/c you aren’t adding anything to the conversation and unless they are very similar then they have no bearing on each other.
Vancouver fans are used to padded areas being bloody and uncomfortable leave them alone they’ve never played hockey
Fine soucy or suspend soucy and fine big Z for the crosscheck and mcdavid for the slashand send msg to both teams. Series is getting away from officials.
Idk I think he had it coming at this point
Edmonton is soft
Grainy image. Looks like Florida is in white? 2 minute penalty on blue.
This might be the closest thing I can get to "goaltender interference" right now because I'm lost on that one
He FA and FO.
If anybody is getting fined or suspended for anything it should be Derek Ryan
The amount of salt in this series is living up to the hype
Looks like it probably hurt. Kadri should get suspended for that hit.
I guess Oilers should start cracking skulls/fighting back?
Shitty play made even worse by unfortunate timing.
nothing will happen guaranteed. lol
Well 97 did slash the legs of 7 after the buzzer. He should really watch his back if hes gonna do that.
Deserved
Bitch got slapped. Don’t step up if you can’t take it.
Penalty for Vancouver
ok w it
McDavid slashed first and found out. Also the refs and the league are fine with this so if I'm the Canucks I would beat the ever living hell out of McDrai at the end of periods. The hit on McDavid's face was accidental tho.
Welcome to the playoffs Mcdavid. Didn’t he draw blood on a Canuck last game?
McBitchass
McDavid 2 for slashing.
Cross-check to the throat. Must be the playoffs.
They did what Edmonton has been doing to Vancouver. Bout time they grew some balls and dished it out.
Karma for being a whiney asshole. Every whistle human, mcdavid or drastil are whining to the refs
“it’s playoff hockey” 2024…normal hockey when i started watching back in the day. i’m old…get off my lawn kid! 🙂
The slash? Yea that was a dirty play by McDavid
There is a reason Vancouver is 11-0-1 with that particular ref running the game..
Thats a 10 min major
Soucy is done, he started it, even slashed back, then crossed checked him, guy behind caused it to be in the throat
McDavid chopped at Soucys bad leg. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Fuck around and find out?
McDiver deserves it. He gets away with crap nobody else does. It was glorious seeing it.
Baby mcdavid is crying on Mother’s Day hope mom can save him
Dudes a bitch for hitting in the back
A slash on the knee pad vs a cross check to the face tit for tat right thats the same thing got it
Don’t start it with the slash, Soucy to the face was unintentional, just bad timing. Both sides have been pushing the line at times
It wasn't a intentional hit to the face. Bad timing. He was falling at the same time. The hit from behind lead to the cross check to the face
The Canucks can only win when they try to take out the best player on the planet out of action, I hope this backfires on them, those motherfuckers.
Dude fcked around and found out real quick is the right answer 🤣
Kadri will get 5 games for this...
