I think it's two separate reactions that result in the hockey equivalent of a chop block. Zadorov gives him a shot in the back after seeing the slash. At the same time Soucy tries to give him a shot in the chest. But due to the other shot from Zadorov McDavids level changes. I do think McDavid embellished the kidney shot a bit and Soucy's shot isn't that hard because he gets up pretty easily and pretty quickly from it and doesn't look any worse for wear.

If guys like Zadorov and Soucy want to hurt him...they easily could there.
