McDavid should slow down if he is so worried about his legs, guys are gonna try and get a piece of him this is hockey.
I wonder if Barzal gets a free pass since he is even faster

If Mcdavid ran into him that's his deal. That's shin if anything but Gio's leg was planted in that position well before Mcdavid hit it. He didn't react with his leg, he leaned his butt back, interference or tripping.
It's not a dirty play I agree.
What also gets missed is the fact he slashed I believe Hamonic right after and then has a temper tantrum on the bench.
IMO this was not at all the same as the Koivu incident.
And yes Mcdavid needs to be more accepting of the fact if he's going to speed by someone like that he's going to get clipped every once in awhile when you're that close in a high intensity game.
*Edit* I'm just happy Flames won and it wasn't a bloodbath, good clean BOA. Yay OTL Gaskal is always the GOAT!
