DoPS video narrator breaks down the Soucy suspension and states “This is cross-checking” as Hyman cross-checks Zadorov in the face (at 0:47). Some 4D irony right there.

    Literally saying ā€œthis is cross checkingā€ as Hyman is mid cross check. Unbelievable

  2. There is so many issues with the explanation. Literally sounds like they’ve already made the decision to suspend him and then went to try and make up bs excuses on why.

    Says the crosscheck is way after the game, how about the slash that McDavid did? That shit was way after the game.

    Unacceptably high level? If McDavid didn’t fold like a lawn chair it would have hit him in the chest like most crosschecks.

    The crosscheck from Hyman, now that is true unacceptably high level

    My favorite part is they say they accept Soucys explanation that Z cross check changed mcdavids position which is why he got the head.

    Like they talked off the suspension then handed it out anyways

  4. Plane-Buyer

    I think BASEketball had better officiating/clearer rules

    Now the rest of the league gets to enjoy what Calgary has lived with since that fateful draft day.

    “Soucy chooses to raise his stick to an unacceptably high level”

    Meanwhile, Hyman’s hands are above his shoulders.

  7. Game management is dumb enough, now we have SERIES MANAGEMENT.

  8. Angry_beaver_1867

    Off topic but silovs save after the game ended was ohtstanding

  9. pressurepass42

    I’m not even mad because of how legitimately funny this is

  10. bwoah07_gp2

    Worst officiating, worst adjudicating, and worst sports league for accountability. NHL are an embarrassment.

  11. Apprehensive-Tea4881

    Hopefully the team makes peace with this because it turns out weā€™re the ā€œbig bad bulliesā€ this time and there was a time we prayed for this. All the pressure is on the Soilers now to respond after this handout by the league.

  12. oh boy lads get out your white towels the league is trying to screw us over again.

  13. Unhittable

    Raises his stick to an unacceptable level, and delivers a high 2 hand cross check….as the oilers player does exactly as he describes busting open Zadarov. Fuckin joke. DoPS…Department of Pussy Shit.

    Its crazy how incompetent DOPS can be. I guess thats what you get when you have meathead goons heading the department.

  15. Admirable-Ad-949

    Sucks that Soucy got suspended and Hyman didn’t however it is great to be the bullies instead of the bullied for a change. Love seeing our guys beating the crap out of everyone!

  16. Since Tocchet brought up the Hyman cross-check is there a chance that the league revisits it or did they get away with another cheap shot?

  17. Soucy was banged up last game anyways. One day off might be good for him. If Juulsen cannot play up to expectation, then roll with 5 defensemen or play him in sheltered minutes.

  18. Loud_Examination_138

    It’s hard to think this isn’t the league favoring the oilers. How do you ignore hyman in the same video for what they are suspending Soucy for?

  19. UraSnotball_

    DOPS must think weā€™re all the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet with how blatant this bs is.

  20. Alien_Diceroller

    Man, I hope they lay the lot of them out next game. Every single one of those whiners stuffed into their bench. The rare time the ‘depth’ players are actually on the ice, that is.

  21. infinitez_

    I’ve been very mad about this outcome all day. I hope the team comes out furious tomorrow (while doing it cleanly) because they have probably had enough of this bs, like us.

  22. davitch84

    Any chance someone has a clip of McDavid burying Garland with a crosscheck in the back right at the start of the game?

    It was against the boards immediately after Ekholm got blown up by Joshua…

    Would be interesting to compare that with Zadorovs.

  23. awayfromcanuck

    The amount of NHL media people that instantly called for a Soucy suspension yesterday on TSN, TNT and Sportsnet while saying nothing about Hyman is a fucking joke.

  24. freszh_inztallz42o

    Fuck it, let it go boys, focus up here for the next one ā˜ļø

  25. CheesecakeOdd2087

    I’m not even mad TBH. 100% knew this was what we were in for playing McDavid and the Oilers. The fact that they’ve dropped 2/3 and are clearly starting to sweat in a series that was supposed to be “light work” (according to all the McDavid nut huggers in the media) is amazing. This happening in spite of our Vezina candidate #1 goalie being out and the league having a clear and obvious pro-McDavid bias that even neutral fans are recognizing and calling out just makes it even more sweet. Next man up, go Canucks go.

    I want to work for the DoPS.

    No accountability, only need to look at plays once in a while (not even that carefully) then if anyone touches mcdavid, just suspend him.

    I want that job.
