‘This needs to be a suspension’: Button on Soucy’s cross-check on McDavid
TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins Jay Onrait to share his thoughts on the cross-check on Connor McDavid by Carson Soucy at the end of Game 3.
so Craig.. youre showing alot of passion for McDavid.. what about Hymans blatant cross check to Zadorovs face that required stitches.. what about Kanes slew foot on Hughes.. all i hear are crickets from you on this…
You know how you end up the director of scouting for a sports channel? Just suck at the actual scouting job so that no pro teams in the league will hire you… 😂
Bias Button… "TSN to Suspend Button" as a result of his poor play. or.. "Man wakes from coma and only see's what he wants to see"… so boarding on petterson is ok, crotch shot on hoglander is ok, slewfoot on hughes is ok and cross check to zedorov is ok?
Yeah, the accidental crosscheck to the face gets a penalty, but Hyman’s INTENTIONAL crosscheck to the face gets nothing??? Not even discussed???? You’re a joke Craig.
Old fart getting it wrong again. Canucks. Player didn’t mean to hit oiler player in the face , it was a mistake clear as day , yet old fart trying to score points with his big yap
Upon reviewing the replays of the incident, it is not obvious, as Craig Button suggests, that Soucy was aiming straight for McDavid's head. The reason being that McD's head was directed downwards as a result of Zadorov's cross-check to his back. We can therefore assume that Soucy was perhaps aiming for McD's upper chest, not his neck / face per se.
If McDavid is going to dance with the big boys he better step up and stop falling into the sticks. as for the 'nucks they are responsible for their sticks….
So funny that they will NOT even aknowledge Hyman's crosscheck on Zadorov's face that drew blood and required stitches. Mcdavid wasn't even bleeding and Soucy gets suspended, but nobody even bats an eye to Hyman.
Craig button really is stupid he acts like he tried cross checkinh his face he really didnt at all. He seriously needs to learn more about hockey it he thinks that was on purpose and should of been a suspension such a dumbass
Lmfao he did not intentionally hit him in the face. Mccrybaby tried diving from zadorovs light tap to the padding and caus he dropped 6 inches he took souceys stick to the jaw. Shit happens when you dive in a scrum 😂😂😂
Button couldn't be more of a homer if his last name was Simpson. Hes all upset about this, but crickets when it comes to McDavids intentional highstick, or the spear to the nuts?

NHL Commissioner Update : They have “Suspended Soucy, for 1 playoff game” As of tonight’s review.
Button, no it doesn’t. 🤦🏻♂️
So they suspended soucy and fined zadorov because it was mcdavid.
There goes Button's the clown again.
After the call in the bruins game I think the nhl brass has certain teams they want to win
Kadri got the suspension
so Craig.. youre showing alot of passion for McDavid.. what about Hymans blatant cross check to Zadorovs face that required stitches.. what about Kanes slew foot on Hughes.. all i hear are crickets from you on this…
oh stop the belly-acking …….. go watch tennis or golf……
Why did you cut it off just when Hyman was bringing his stick up to crosscheck Zadorov?
You know how you end up the director of scouting for a sports channel? Just suck at the actual scouting job so that no pro teams in the league will hire you… 😂
Dirty play. Zadorov should be suspended as well.
Guys a moron. It was heading to his chest, but let's not discuss the slash that INSTIGATED
And suspension for slash by McDavid when game was over? TSN you guys are idiots. One sided opinions for your hero.
What an idiot
Of course.. absolutely. The smirk on his face.. his psychopath . Bully in all levels.
McJesus is such a puss y … he’s free to do whatever but cries when on the receiving end..

what about mcdavid 2 handed high sticking and drawing blood against huggy and not even a penalty? yeah thought so. fucking goofs
Funny that you cut out the part where McCrybaby two handed Soucy with his stick just before he got cross checked. He earned that cross check.
Now do the Hyman cross-check to the face of Zadorov that required stitches. No wonder no one trusts the media. All a bunch of clowns.
Shad app Craig Mcwimp I’d say haha
Old fart getting it wrong again. Canucks. Player didn’t mean to hit oiler player in the face , it was a mistake clear as day , yet old fart trying to score points with his big yap
Craig Button viaing for ken hollands job
He was going for the chest Craig. Zadorov’s hit forced McDavids head down. Hyman’s check was direct to the head.
I’m not even a McDavid fan and I think that was bad. It’s a contact sport, there’s no need for chicken shit like that.
Where is the McDavid suspensions for 2 infractions. 2 hand slash on Soucy and reckless slash to Hughes face. The NHL’s yes men protect McBaby

Hey, button. What happened just after this conveniently edited clip?
Why are tsn such McDavid fan boys?
If McDavid is going to dance with the big boys he better step up and stop falling into the sticks.
as for the 'nucks they are responsible for their sticks….
So funny that they will NOT even aknowledge Hyman's crosscheck on Zadorov's face that drew blood and required stitches. Mcdavid wasn't even bleeding and Soucy gets suspended, but nobody even bats an eye to Hyman.
Not one mention of Hymen crosschecking Zadorov's face, in the follow up scrum of the McDavid incident. Typical NHL one sided favourtism
Craig Button is an absolute moron.
Both need to be gone for rest of the playoffs
Oooooppppsss !! did I hit the "BLAH BLAH BLAH BUTTON" by accident!?!?!?!? Did McDavid bleed? I saw no evidence.
Why the hell didn't you show the whole event – starting with Mcdavid's high stick to the Canuck. Typical TSN bullcrap.
Craig button really is stupid he acts like he tried cross checkinh his face he really didnt at all. He seriously needs to learn more about hockey it he thinks that was on purpose and should of been a suspension such a dumbass
Button boy, youre a weak beta
Even Gordie Howe was saying thats dirty hockey
Lmfao he did not intentionally hit him in the face. Mccrybaby tried diving from zadorovs light tap to the padding and caus he dropped 6 inches he took souceys stick to the jaw. Shit happens when you dive in a scrum 😂😂😂
Game five is gonna be wild
Button couldn't be more of a homer if his last name was Simpson.
Hes all upset about this, but crickets when it comes to McDavids intentional highstick, or the spear to the nuts?
I look forward to seeing your commentary regarding the Evander Kane cross-check needing a suspension. Absolute clowns!
Hey Button, how about Hyman's cross-check on Zadorov? I guess that was a hockey play!
Where is the same energy when Kane intentionally cross checks Myers in the face?
So does McDavid for the double handed chop .
Didn't even draw any blood. Meanwhile Roope Hintz gets Cross-Checked in the face, bloodied up, and it's a 4min double minor.
Looked clean to me
