most important our fans at this critical point in our season
What? Is it going to screw up the tank somehow? Because they can't honestly believe they still have a chance at the playoffs, right? Right????

Cry me a McRiver. It's 2 games and your team ####ing sucks. You're not making the playoffs.
I did like the part about 'critical point in our season.'

Who wants to bet the Organization says:

"We would have made the playoffs we were winning (that one game against NYI) and needed a strong home stand and the League took away our best player!

We were totally going to make the playoffs but now we couldnt because of the League Conspiracy!

They're all out to get us! Dont forget to renew your season tickets!!"

If anything I'm more disappointed that the League gave the Oilers' Management a scapegoat.

Let them keep Connor. They still suck. But at least this will help them fund the Players Emergency Assistance Fund.

They are mostly mad that knowing MsDavid is out for the next 2 games kills any chance of walk-up sales for those games and even some season ticket owners will just stay home and not spend money this weekend on that disgusting excuse for a hockey team.

Just looked at the hit, can't believe Oilers were trying to defend that. There was no attempt to mitigate the impact at all from McDavid.

I wouldn't have cared if they didn't suspend him though. Not like they are making the playoffs, so anything to keep them away from the bottom is good.

Personally, I have no issue whatsoever with the Oilers being unjustly punished by the NHL.

Not the case here though. McHeadshot is guilty.

I think the best thing to happen would be if they actually look better without him and somehow win the next couple games.

I'm gonna predict they get shutout for the next 2 games. The team has pretty much come to rely on McDavid for any kind of offense. We will see if Draisaitl can truly drive a line on his own and generate scoring.

Lol! Cry me a McRiver.

A contaminated McRiver, I assume.

Oilers are done. 29 regulation losses with a month and a half to play. This only helps their tank and they'll be thanking them later when they pick Hughes or whichever poor soul they're going to ruin next.

Lol, what options are they talking about? Are they planning on suing the league or something? My god, what a bunch of clowns.

I'm absolutely stunned that McDavid didn't actually get the superstar discount.

But holy crap, Edmonton. Have a little self respect, eh?

I'd like to see the Oilers appeal the suspension, lose again, and have an additional severe fine, and double the number of game suspensions.

That would serve 'em right for being NO GOOD!

Knowing them they'll probably be as petty as they are with everything else and appeal the suspension to right this horrible injustice.

We already know the answer to this question.

It's okay, they have Datsyuk and Bergeron's child, Ryan Nugent Hopkins to save the season. Right Spector?

I don't know, we all know that with McDavid's unprecedented speed and cross over ability, he could have taken Leddy's head clean off if he really wanted to.
Since that didn't happen, Leddy clearly dived.

Pretty severe punishment actually. I can't remember another time when the NHL has suspended an entire team for an incident like this.
