[bob-loblaw]

The sound of crying from Edmonton should hit Calgary any second now.

That's just Hitch finding out that the ice cream machine at McDonald's is broken again.

[puckedoff]

Oilers were probably pleading for a long suspension to aid their tank

I hope he feels bad that his suspension will push the Oilers out of playoff contention.

that's a great explanation in the video.

That is exactly what I was going to post. That is about as perfect an explanation as I recall seeing.

From the general forum

Spoiler!

Mcjesus apparently isn't untouchable.



That’s the fair amount. Looking forward to listening to oilers fans.



Kucherov had a 15 point lead at the time of the suspension. Just for the Mcdavid fans who will say this is why he lost the art ross





Disgusting hit. Oilers fans now have a bevy of excuses as to why he don't win the Ross.
Sick, suspensions, etc.
Jazz hands incoming!!


Suspensions in the last year:
Matthew Tkachuk: 0
Connor McDavid: 1
That Connor guy is a pretty dirty player, hey Oilers fans?

Of course Oiler fans see it different

Spoiler!

League is on board with the tank, must be a bad draft year.



Wish they were both home games for Katz sake


Oilers get handed down 2 losses



2 games is blasphemy. But then again it doesnt matter. This is a team of destiny. Destined for another first overall pick. Unfortunately.



Gonna be even more frustrating to hear McDavid passively talk about how it was a dumb play and he apologizes or some ****.

This org needs to publicly rip everything about the NHL. They're a joke.. things can't possible get worse by calling them out



It’ll cost him $134,000

Actually its sad because I expected more salt, but sadly the Oiler fan base comes across as resigned to their fate.

good to know the NHL is taking penalties against head shots seriously.

McDavid deliberately targeted Leddy because he was angry... no place for that, regardless of the talent of the player.

I'm okay with two games, the league needs to work on reducing these types of hits. Intentional or accidental - there needs to be punishment of some sort.

Good on Barry Trotz if that is what he did, it's the right thing to do. Concussion protocol should not be optional or based on an opinion as to whether it's warranted. It needs to be mandatory. I don't know how you make it so but there needs to be a way where potential bias is taken out of the decision making.

Connor McSpended.

he did...

missed the resulting pp as a result of getting pulled off the ice

[SuperMatt18]

Oilers twitter is crying about it.

Really not sure why they are suprised - two games has been the penalty all season. Erik Karlsson got that suspension, why wouldn't McDavid.

Goner McDirty

Probably was given 1 game, but asked for the 2nd to rest his shoulder

Footage of the NHL's reaction to the Oilers argument:

[Jetfire]

Generational cheap shot.

[Kybb79]

McElbow deserved it.

[midniteowl]

My question to the Islanders is this, why was there no one to come to Leddy's defense? Why McCheapshot didn't need to fight someone?

[Scroopy Noopers]

Connor McDisciplined.

It would have been nice seeing him get his face punched
