Exactly this.
McDavid plays a very high risk style of game. It certainly doesn’t help that the Oilers over play him.
He is fearless when it comes weaving around hits at full speed and minimal space, but it also increases the risk for unintentional sloppy contact. There was nothing malicious about Giordano’s play. A lesser player than McDavid would have been hit cleanly, but McDavid is so erratic and easy for a defender to miscalculate.
Seeing McDavid whine so hard was hilarious though. Is there a harder whiner in the whole league? Maybe Doughty comes close.
Can someone tell me what post is the ATL?
