If one of those little crosschecks is going to send him to surgery, maybe he’s not ready to be playing.

If McDavid was getting constant crosschecks you guys would be whining about it as usual. Not sure a 2 man team wants to be playing that game anyway.
Vegas could survive losing Stone much better than the Oilers could survive losing one of their top guys.

Pretty sure it had something to do with building availabilities in the non Edmonton and Vegas markets so they pushed the game back a day.

Really? I feel like it has something to do with resting the wonder twins. They've had multiple day breaks, multiple times now. 3 days between game 5 and 6 last round. 3 days between round 1 and 2.
they are 7 games into the playoffs and have had 12 rest days

It's definitely weird, but the good news is that Stone and the Knights get an extra day of rest as well.

I must have missed where he was getting cross checked in the head or neck.

Those cross checks were love taps. If you’re going to stand in front of the net you’re going to get pushed around. If that is going to hurt you then you shouldn’t be playing. You can watch any game and see any battle in front having the same thing going on. Mcdavid gets those gross checks too.
If mark stone can’t handle the bumps, hits and the battles in front of the net, he shouldn’t be playing. It’s not on the Oilers to soften their play against him. If he gets hurt again and needs surgery it’s on whoever gave him the ok.

Yeah lots of outrage in Edmonton because the game was Friday and got moved back to Saturday because no other games could, and Rogers wanted a Saturday game in that time slot. A few Edmontonians who went to Vegas expecting to come home Saturday got their travel plans mixed up.

come on now...some were after the play and nowhere near the net. Anyway I am not saying they shouldn't just to be crying when it happens the other way around.

I just watched the clip again. Either he touched the puck and got bumped or he was in front of the net and battling with a dman
Which one was “after the play and nowhere near the net”

I have better things to do
off the top of my head the Nuge crosschecks him in the middle of the ice nowhere near the puck as he skates by. They are obviously targeting him...like I said I don't even care its just you guys always crying about stuff like that the other way.
Christ remember an entire summer of crying because Gio didn't just let McDavid drive the net. "it was a meaningless game" tell that to the stat padder skating at 100 miles an hour to score a goal in a year they were missing the playoffs.
those in glass houses...Oilers without McDavid or Drai wouldn't win a game so I'm not sure the Oilers want to go there.

No one’s complaining about an Oiler getting pushed with a stick in front of the net in a battle.

Are you in here being combative with me over a post in which I'm generally opposed to attempts to injure people's heads/necks when you could just be agreeing that people should not try to injure other people's heads/necks?

Oh yeah, I just assumed it was for something like that. Just annoying as a fan, be nice to have 2 games on every night this round.

No you’re right. I do agree that heads necks shouldn’t be injured. Wasn’t disagreeing with that.
Just not sure why that’s relevant in this thread.
Surely you’d agree that people shouldn’t run over people with vehicles too.

The next time someone does that in a hockey game, I'll be sure to call it out.
If we ever reach a point where people discuss that as just part of the game we'll know for sure that things have gone too far. Keep an eye on the zamboni drivers
