McTempertantrum was doing his patented I'll fall on him and hope the refs think he pulled me down and we'll get one of our bread and butter powerplays. Just more media coming to McTempertantrum's defence. Sad that it is Calgary media.

I'm a Canucks fan and I think that it was a smart play by Garland but he grabbed McDavids arm and brought him down to the ground and then held him down before McDavid punched Garland in the head and then Garland just held onto McDavid to prevent him from entering the play. The narrative here that McDavid willingly took himself out of the play in order to interfere with Garland is laughable. Even if Garland gets a penalty there is what, 10 seconds left in the game? The Oilers have possession of the puck and were pressuring.
McDavid isn't a stupid hockey player and obviously neither is Garland.
