He might have more integrity than any other writer in the sport. Full stop.
He saw something he thought needed to be addressed as a guy covering a hockey game.
You are free to disagree with his take on a situation, but the rest of what you are implying is pure nonsense.

Connor McDavid was behind the net, jousting with Carson Soucy. Soucy cross-checked McDavid, and McDavid slashed him back on the pants. It wasn’t much — or until Soucy’s defence partner, Nikita Zadorov joined the fray. As Zadorov cross-checked McDavid from behind, causing his knees to buckle, Soucy cross-checked him in the throat.

He kind of doesn't owe up to the fact that McDavid gave him a hard two hander that started off the viciousness of the incident. There's no doubt Zadorov's cross check from behind was dirty but there's no way Soucy could have planned on McDavid's head being at the level of his stick when he was essentially retaliating for the two-hander from McDavid. This is all a bit overblown and if the Oilers forward was say Ryan, there's little chance Duha is even writing this.
