Yep. 2 for Xcheck, 2 more for one iota of complaint. It'd be removed from the game before pre season ended.

My face is a bum!

Why are we wasting our time trying to figure out if McDavid is injured or not? Just wait for the feature length film this summer.

Maybe he has one of his hypercolds lasting most of the year again. Remember the old Sportsnet symptom list they'd post every single game?
-runny nose
-running nose
-nose that is runny
-sore throat
-really sore throat
-fever
-high fever
-low fever
-cough
-coughing a lot
-coughing slightly less
-etc

This isn’t an ankle or a hand injury. This should be different

If you have an injury that could end up as life altering if subjected to the regularities of the activity you’re doing, you should probably not be doing said activities.

Next guy that cross checks Stone in the back I hope he turns around and clocks him violently in the face.

Taking a while to get to 5000

Cassidy brought up the shots to the back in the post game presser and if there's one thing that is weirdly true about playoffs over the years, is that even the slightest reference to poor officiating tends to result in calls in your favor.
Now, does this work against the almighty McDavid and the rest of the Oilers? We'll see.

Reminds me of the old days where Pat Quinn was a master as manipulating officials in the playoffs. He would complain about the officiating after every game until they ice slanted in the Canucks or Leafs direction. I still remember him complaining non-stop complained about Roberts in the first round of the playoffs in 1994.

Complaining can work sometimes. It's an artform.

The next game isn't until tomorrow? Lame.
One playoff game tonight. One game on Saturday. Three on Sunday. Annoying.

I feel the same. The game would lose nothing by having that stuff out of it. I have no interest in seeing someone's life get messed up as part of entertainment. It actually turns me right off from the game.

Those types of cross checks happen to every player in every game. I didn’t see any overly malicious.
If one of those little crosschecks is going to send him to surgery, maybe he’s not ready to be playing.

Fine opinion to have, would just be hilarious to hear you say that about Draisaitl last year.

Kind of like those little taps on Draisaitl's skate last offseason? That certainly didn't curb the outrage of Oilers fans and media.

These are professional athletes playing for a championship. No one is going easy on Stone.

My comments aren't that the Oilers shouldn't do those things. My comment is that nobody should do those things. Any play with intent to cause injury to the head or neck is something I don't want to see, regardless of who's doing it.
