I hope Juulsen fucking obliterates someone, clean.
Fuck off
Actual joke of a league, nothing (not even a fine) for Hyman and not to mention the Bennett stuff
Fucking ridiculous
Department of Putrid Shit strikes again
This is the way. Will there ever be true justice in this bullshit league?
I knew it. What a joke.
And Hyman gets nothing for an intentional cross check to the head during the same scrum. Smile.
There better be an incoming Hyman suspension
Parros’ CTE is showing again
Joke of a league
So control your stick unless you’re an Oiler/Hyman
So Petey can get boarded, Hughes bloodied, Hoggy nut tapped, Zadorov take a crosscheck to the head and nothing.
McDavid can lumberjack chop Soucy and Soucy gets in trouble for fighting back.
Cool.
Why no fine/suspension for that spear on Hoggy? Or the high stick on Hughes?
This league is a fucking joke.
Literally only happened because it was mccrybaby 🙄 what dog shit
Lmao
Joke of a league
Don’t touch our golden boys, McCrybaby and Crysaitl. They can’t handle the consequences of their own actions
Absolute dogwater. McCarron runs Desmith and injures him and gets 2k and McDavid falls into a chest-level cross-check, pops right back up, and Soucy gets a game.
Not to mention, i dno how only McDavid escapes discipline in that altercation, he should have received a lesser fine as well imo.
Very disappointing decision from a league that has such poor consistency in its disciplinary decisions.
That said, we can dwell later, Juulsen played well down the stretch, next man up, let’s get after these guys. We’re Bane these playoffs. Other teams face adversity, we were born in it.
LOVE THIS CLUB.
next time go for the berries. The league is cool with spearing
Surprised they didn’t announce the transfer of the 1OA pick to Edmonton while they’re at it.
McDavid privilege on full display here boys…
The hoglander spear is a real problem. Whether Carson deserves this suspension or not really isn’t the point. Lack of equality is.
It truly hurts the credibility and integrity of this already questionable league.
Even if all we consider is the past few days, the DoPS doesn’t think the following deserve any discipline/fine:
– Bennett sucker punch on Marchand
– Kane slewfoot on Hughes
– Ryan spear to the nuts away from the play on Hoglander
– Hyman crosscheck to the face of Zadorov *on this same play*
And yet when it’s McDavid getting hit, Zadorov gets slapped with a fine and Soucy gets a suspension?
Like most other people, in a vacuum, yeah, I get it, but how does the DoPS not even blink at the other ones? And even have the gall to say “Oh we saw the new angle of the Bennett hit and still think it’s just a hockey play”.
Make it make sense
Don’t agree with the ruling personally but the Canucks will be fine. They’ve been practicing defending without Soucy for like half the season
Love seeing the NHL only fine/suspend Canucks players here. Hope Tocc mentioning that the league is looking into Hyman’s intentional high cross check on Zaddy turns into something (but something tells me it won’t).
Oilers are gonna wish Soucy was in instead of Juulsen, watch out for the Surrey boy!

They already had no right to complain, but after this bullshit, I never ever want to hear an oilers fan complain about officiating ever again.
In unrelated news, Kelly Sutherland has been promoted to the head of DoPS.

I’m not being facetious… can anyone help me understand why Hyman isn’t being held accountable for the cross check to Zadorov’s face?
I understand the thirst for revenge from the fanbase but the best revenge is winning the series.
Trying to go tit-for-tat on questionable physical plays could cause us to be in the penalty box a lot more than we want to be in order to win this series.
Just gotta stay focused on winning.
If you watch the DoPS breakdown video included in that link, there’s a hilariously ironic momment where the narrator breaking down the play goes “this is cross-checking” as the clip ends with Hyman cross-checking Zadorov in the face (at 0:47). Great subliminal message by Parros there, truly well done.

I’m willing to bet Soucy got suspended because they fucked up with Bennett
