Trump probably thought he was meeting Holyfield.

When I saw the headline, I assumed it was a joke about Kane being such an awful person that he even got an invite to attend the inauguration.

I too thought it was a joke. Now...Trump likes to brag about 'crowd sizes' but how many goddamned were at this thing??

I assumed the organizers just put out a general call to various talent agencies to see if there were any B and C list celebrities desperate enough for attention.

If true, wow. Assaults a player then pouts that he won’t be going to league events to sponsor the NHL. Really hope Oilers get the “Wideman” effect for pissing off the league and being pouty about it.

No good.

Yay! Less Mavi!

What’s the end game though? Is it like a 25% off suspensions coupon?

I’m still fascinated by what support poor baby Connor might need for high sticking someone to the head and getting busted and suspended for it.

And I do think that this is all tied into mavi’s next contract. “You didn’t support me enough” and “I wouldn’t have this happen if I played in New York”.

They let spectators sit in the area McDavid usually is.

After the last canucks/no-goods playoff series, I think Vancouver's hatred for edmonton is more than just starting. Glad other fanbases are seeing what they are all about, other than just us.
I'm sure LA and Vegas would agree as well.

If McDavid took a two handed slash and responded with a cross check to the face, that would be standing up for himself.

The guy was holding him. You could argue it was interference. Is the appropriate response to a hold a violent crosscheck to the face? That isn't standing up for yourself. That is losing your cool and resorting to violence.

What I have trouble with, IS THAT HE STARTED THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE AND PUNCHED GARLAND IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. Wtf are people seeing, the bootlicking for the Oilers is ####ing absurd

Even when it happened on TV I could see where it was going. The dumbass color guy while watching the replay is skipping over McDavid assaulting him just drooling at the chance to crucify Garland. As McDavid is molesting Garland: "yeahyeahwhateverwhatever LOOK LOOK HE GRABBED HIM! DID YOU SEE THAT?!! AWWW!! AWWWWW MY GOD!!!!"

Here’s a thing from spector’s column. He recognizes that Mavi’s temper tantrums and dirty play has been increasing. I have to add Mavi’s kicking skates when checked…yeah like a spoiled brat temper tantrum except far more dangerous.

“McDavid snapped last week, with a hat trick of hard but questionable physical plays: A crushing body check that knocked Los Angeles winger Alex Laferriere out of the Kings lineup for at least three games, that included a liberal dose of McDavid’s elbow; a sneaky dirty chicken wing that landed Minnesota’s Marcus Johansson (concussion) on injured reserve; and the cross-check to Garland’s head in Vancouver Saturday night that earned him a three-game suspension.”

So in the last 3 Mavi games there’s 2 injured players, at least 2 headshots, and eventually a 3 game suspension which doesn’t even cover the injuries! I don’t remember anyone headshotting Mavi however I’m sure if it happened, we would have had more media coverage than the trump inauguration.

This confirms (as if needed) the lack of integrity for Spector and his full time mouthpiece role. Seriously, using one of the biggest crap weasels out there Perry as a reference?

McDiva is a petulant man child that can’t play within the rules, and when he steps out, expects special treatment.

What a joke. Pathetic.

"Interference is covered by rule 56 of the NHL rule book and states that a player isn’t allowed to restrain or impede an opponent with any part of the body or stick if the opponent isn’t in possession of the puck."

McDavid takes out Garland who did not have possession of the puck with open ice hit (and what appears to be an elbow to the face), then lays on top of him.

The play should have been blown dead right there, but instead the refs let the Oilers continue to press as they still had possession. The refs decided to put the whistles away which at first was 100% to the benefit of the Oilers.

Yup, Mavi chooses to interfere with Garland, hold him, do pushups on him, and punch him (possibly with a butt end, can't tell for sure on the video) before Garland first starts to hold him. Then he cries about not being protected enough against the hold in spite of 3 obvious penalties against him being ignored that should have resulted in a stoppage of the play even before the hold took place. And because a penalty against an opponent wasn't called and ignoring the fact that he should have been the one with a penalty, he figures he has the right to mete out some frontier justice and crosscheck Garland right in the face without facing any consequences, because he thinks the league needs him.

I've got news for you, Connor. If you want to pick up your ball and walk away, we're OK with that.

[Reggie Dunlop]

With career earnings approaching $100 million, McDavid could just walk away from the game and never have to worry about being treated "unfairly" ever again. The game will continue without him just fine.

[topfiverecords]

Garland shouldn't have even been there in the first place. Doesn't he know about McRight-of-Way?

Was McDavid humping Garland?

Please don't use "sexual assault". Your usage trivializes what is a significant and often extremely traumatic experience for people.


There are other ways to describe the activity Mavi did.


Edit for clarity: not a "woke" comment...just a human one.
