McDavid slashed him, and got pushed into a player. Not sure what the outcry is for.
McDavid might the biggest loser this league as soon, one of the most unlikeable stars players ever. Crosby has a reputation but he quickly grew up, McDavid seems to be doing the opposite.

Looked like Soucy was trying to crosscheck McDavid in the chest, in retaliation for the slash. Instead, McDavid gets pushed forward by Zadorov, and as he's falling, that cross check catches McDavid in the neck/jaw.
Honestly, don't think Soucy did anything wrong. Even McDavid doesn't seem to:

McDavid largely declined to comment on the end-of-game incident that has left Canucks defenceman Carson Soucy facing a hearing with the league's department of player safety. He would only state the incident was "part of a heated series."
The Oilers star did, however, comment on the physicality of the series, which he said he's enjoying.
"It’s fun to be a part of,“ McDavid said of the all-Canadian matchup.

Can see taking some kind of disciplinary action against Zadorov for being the 3rd man in. That should be the end of it though.
