And if you are biased against the Oilers and want to disregard that, just remember the time that Minnesota slashed Johnny with impunity until they broke his hand.
The NHL cares nothing about protecting its stars, and constantly gives leash to predatory players.

The NHL introduced a new focus on slashing the hands and stick in the off-season because of what happened to Johnny. Also, Oiler fans cry murder anytime someone breathes on McDavid, so it's hard to take that seriously.
