I guess if you are talking about pure body checks, you may be right, I can recall anything super significant. He’s dirty with the reverse hit which probably protects him a bit.

That one year (2022 maybe??) he was playing on one leg basically- high ankle sprain I think. But the oilers still dressed him because a) what else are they going to do and b) him on one leg is better than everybody else on the roster not named mcdavid. I hate his guts, but he is one tough dude. That's why it's embarrassing when he flops like his golden boy teammate.
I agree- one reason he's not hit is because he is dirty as hell if you come at him- reverse hit or, if you try to hit him head on stick or elbow to the teeth. I guess the answer is to do what he did to barkov- just come at him stick or elbow high with the worst intention and get him first.
