Poor Messier has to watch his two teams lose to Florida.
PK hasnt had anything insightful to say all season….and the trend continues. That's a 2 minute minor max. Hell if this is the 80s SCF, that isnt even getting called.
ESPN is a joke
Player safety 😂. I'd almost feel bad if it wasn't against the dirtiest team in the league.
Suban, if you think that hit was a major, you're a bigger pussy than i thought. Noticed Mess didn't say a word about Leon's high elbows. Seriously though, todays NHL players are 10 ply!!!!
I’m interested to hear about the injury… looked like a soft hit to me, even though it came up high. The difference with Leon and Connor is that they wouldn’t have flopped and cried about it, so PK’s example is irrelevant because the call wouldn’t have been made. We will see how much Stanley cup Barkov is missing and then determine where my opinion stands on this topic.
Messier is absolutely biased with his comments. He clearly is a homer with the Rangers and Oilers.
Sam Bennett literally did the same thing to mcdavid game one and he was bleeding, I don’t think he even got a penalty for it. 😆 this playoffs are trash and these talking heads are trash.. also Marchand was out of the series and nothing even happened. Trash refs trash announcers
I don't agree with many of PK's takes on just about anything. However, he is one hundred percent correct here.
“Florida’s box is super tight.” – Mark Messier, 2:45.
PK the clown talking about player safety hahahhaha
Drai is being schooled so he goes douche mode. Classless ass.
How can the DoPS have the gull to hand down any suspension for anyone after allowing the Bennett sucker-punch (in rd2) to go with no discipline at all? Bennett should be kicked out of the league if you ask me…. Probably why Maurice stayed quiet when asked about it.
drysatil has to be suspended that was a deliberate attempt (successful) to injure ! if he isn't suspended the league is a bigger joke than we thought it was ! Mario once famously said of the NHL that it is a garage league !
Subban is a piece of filth calling just the Oilers with no bennett and no panthers diving. What a goof.
Womp womp clean hit
Barkov got Slewbanned with PK elbow.
karma at its best lol
There really should be an over/under bet on how many times Mess says "UHH" every minute he speaks. Gotta be atleast 10 times a min
Pk is horrible
I dont know how tall Barkov is, but it looks like he was low like he was hunting for the puck. Leon was just looking to make some type of contact to remove Barkov from the puck. Barkov is a veteran, he should know someone is coming at him. It's the playoffs,. Head on a swivel!
One iffy call…..compared to a full team from game 1 first rd dirty…diving garbage
Oilers lose half their team if he's suspended, league won't allow it.
That looked no worse then what Sam Bennett did to Marchand
Ekblad literally locked in a choke with both arms and people laugh. Hits like drai did happen often in game without penalty. The panthers dove all game there fishing for a supplementary discipline.
I just love the fact that Evander Kane will probably not be winning a cup 😂
McDavid did get hit that way in game 1
If this is a suspension for Drai then theres one for Tkachuk on his 4 punches to McDavid's face with stick in hand,this acting by Barkov is Oscar worthy,never liked you P.K.you were never more than a big mouth who couldn't back it up you drama queen.
Problem is you don’t if Barkov is acting or not. Let’s be honest, the Rats dive more than an Olympic diving team
Canadian media just dance around how dirty that hit was. If the situation was reversed and Mcdavid was hit the Florida players would be arrested at the border
Lol Oilers are one of the least dirty teams in the NHL. Barkov will be ready to go, and he was just being a little B like the rest of his team.
I would say Barkov is the most complete player in the playoffs but tough to say best . There’s definitely more offensively explosive players than him. Either way though I agree Draisaitl should be suspended .
Suban.
The biggest idiot and hockey
Hockey is not a sport.
Panther trash talking about "dirty" hits is laughable. 🤣🤣🤣
Fucking refs if drai should be suspended bennet should have gotten a major penalty
What about Ekblad choke hold on Bouchard? More dirty than Driasiatl's nudge!
What about Bennett's hit on Marchand?
I knew that my brother from another mother knows his hockey (PK).
Drais’s elbow, thought it connected barely left his body, and here people are here comparing it to a full blown trouba chicken wing.
Maybe like when Bennett split open McDavid? Or maybe when Bouch was literally getting choked out and had to tap out from the rear naked choke?
Bennett put Marchand out for the playoffs with a wayyyyyyy dirtier hit than that. Grow up PK.
This is why enforcers were important. This crap would not happen if a chump like Drysocket had probert or the likes waiting for him
Like Bennett said of his punch on Marchand, it was a hockey play, wasn't trying to hurt no one
