That should be suspension worthy as well. That was a clear intent to injure.

Suspend him or not, it wont matter Wally Foegle is a irrelevant bum anyways.

[Tron_fdc]

This isn't the first time Draisaitl has done something dirty and gotten away with it, so if the league doesn't do something he won't stop.

It shouldn't matter that it's their star player, but we all know it does.

[Enoch Root]

SportsNet and Oiler fans whining about the reffing...

Foegele throws a disgusting knee
Bouchard butt-ends Tkachuk in the face
Draisaitl with the leaping elbow to the jaw
Cassick with the spear to the nuts

SportsNet: "the refs were a factor in this game" (trying to say the refs cost the Oilers the game, without saying the refs cost the Oilers the game)

Also, the non-call puck over the glass was correct, and Ron Right-of-way McLean (an actual ref) was once again out to lunch with the "it's where you start the shot from" - um, no, Ron, it's where the puck leaves the stick from (and you know that, Ron)

[jessnuts]

Surely, even if there is no suspension, Canadian media will say Draisaitl HAS to fight Bennett, because ‘the code’, right? I mean, ‘the code’ is everything.

Pretty sure the 80's Oilers used to threaten teams by telling them "If you hurt our players we'll make sure Craig MacTavish is out driving when you're walking back to your hotel"

[Groot]

Fun Fact - The Oilers have not scored a 5v5 goal over the last 10 periods of hockey played. Last 5v5 goal was in period 2 of game 5 against Dallas.

I don't think Messier was even suspended when he sucker punched Macoun and broke his jaw!

oh and don't forget "DR" Randy Gregg will fix you after MacT hits you with his car. Dr. Randy Gregg was mentioned every game as a doctor. like an 18 year old Sam Bennett.

[Matty81]

The canadian media are just insane homers for the oilers, it's insane how they were questioning if it was even 2 mins. your average 8 year old hockey fan has more knowledge of the game and objectiveness than Gadzic.

Was glad to see Subban and ESPN calling for a DOPS review at least.

Everyone focuses on that Macoun incident, but the worst part of his game for me was how he was too cowardly to fight Joel Otto again and again and then completely jumped him - he never had the stones to square off with Joel fairly.

Classic Oilers way... talk about honor and the code and rail about Tkachuk at the same time you have a pedo owner and employ dirtbags like Messier, Kane, Perry and Kassian - knock the best player in the playoffs out and complain about a 2 minute penalty

This teams has taken it to a new level of scum. Kane, Perry and Bouchard.

Star players having to resort to dirty tactics, cheap shots, diving. What a joke.

A bunch of people tell me omg look at how they play? I ask them you enjoy watching powerplay goals? You like 5 v 5 with a ton of inference run, clutching and grabbing so they can scoot out the zone.

Back then the Messier elbows were just part of the game, Anderson and Linseman were greasy sum beetches. They were also really, really good so that pi$$ed everyone off even more.

[CsInMyBlood]

I didn't watch the game but I just watched the Draisaitl elbow.

That should be a suspension. Clearly trying to take out the main guy that is going to stop the Oilers from winning the Cup. Blatant head hunting jumping elbow. What a pos.

[CedarMeter]

Didn't Mike Bullard get bagged by an Oilers player in the playoffs?

[Johnny Makarov]

the most insane part about the hit is that in the slow mo replay it was clear it was an elbow, and the colour guy couldn't get it out of his mouth! effing ridiculous

Mcugly speared him in the nuts and he had to be stretchered off. I think a story came out decades later that he was fine but he told Bearcat to call for the stretcher so he could draw the major.

hahahahhaah. just thinking back McSorley looked like a Mcdavid on roids and he was cross-eyed like Bouchard! Like he was a NoGood Frankenstein.

Is there a time of day when we could typically expect to hear any news from DOPS?

If he was missing an eyeball they aren’t admitting it until the playoffs are over.

"It looks like he shoved him and hit the jaw" (by jumping up and leading with his elbow....)

[3rd liner]

Just imagine what oilers media fanboys would say if that was tkachuk elbowing McBandaid or Pissy. There'd be 72h straight of how dirty it was etc. etc.

[Matty81]

They always seem to wait as long as possible to announce suspensions or non-suspensions in the playoffs to let things cool down. Guessing will be a bit - but surprised we haven't heard yet if Barkov travelled with the Panthers, there won't be any hiding it if he's really hurt that bad
