I know, just adding to the sarcasm.

I get that it was a fairly "minor" elbow, but considering that it looked intentional and led to a concussion you'd think at least a token $5k fine would be in order. You know, to at least put up the façade that there isn't a double standard.

Wow. Thought there’d at least be a fine. I know there is a different standard for McDigin vs the rest of the league, but wow.

I wonder what’s going to happen when he kicks someone in the face during one of his frequent dives

Teams need to start going after McDavid and Draisaitl. If the refs and the league won’t protect their players, then players need to start policing themselves.

It won’t happen, but it should

Absolutely, force them to cart around a mouthbreather like Kassian if they are going to play like this on the ice.

The problem is it will just snowball where every minimal contact when you touch those two will be a penalty. Oh wait... nevermind.

Oilers fans and media speculating that if they continue to healthy scratch Skinner it may cause Skinner to waive his NMC and the Oilers can trade him....

Who is trading for Jeff Skinner? After a team wants him gone bad enough that they're willing to eat his cap space until the 2028-2029 season, he can't make any impact on an offense-only team when that is the only thing he can contribute, to the point he's a healthy scratch. I don't even think a team claims Skinner on waivers. Oilers would have to attach a draft pick for a team to trade him for "future considerations"

The other way around. If he plays 7 more games, he won't be a UFA this summer.

Two head shots in two games. McDavid is a Goof.

He also high-sticked Hronek in the throat earlier in the game, of course no call.
