Only in the NHL would a two-handed slash on the best playoff player in the league over the last 2 seasons...merit the same suspension as a dubious instigator penalty given in a scrap between two willing and able combatants.
And NO one is surprised!

- We saw a couple of spectacular goals tonight from the @EdmontonOilers Connor McDavid. But we all know who the real hero was in the building tonight! 100 year old Marty Jones from Lamont, Alberta who was there on D-Day!
- I have always believed the PLAYERS are the Show in the NHL. The Unsportsmanlike call on 2019-20 MVP Leon Draisaitl right after Connor McDavid’s 2nd PPG was the sign of an Official who thinks he is the show! Gave LA an opportunity to regain momentum. Not a Playoff Penalty!
- Career Playoff Scoring: Leon Draisaitl: G: 18 A: 35 P: 53 +/-: +14 GP: 33 Auston Matthews: G: 17 A: 16 P: 33 +/-: +2 GP: 39
- Connor McDavid will play his 400th NHL game tonight. McDavid: 399 GP-553 points Sidney Crosby: first 400 GP-554 points
- Make no mistake Mark Carney is 100% a fan of the @EdmontonOilers
- The NFL gets it. The NHL doesn't it. The NFL protects their stars (the QB's) The NHL wants their stars to play through the "crap". All the while benifitting from record Revenues driven by... you guessed it... Their stars!Edmonton’s Connor McDavid has been suspended for three games for cross-checking Vancouver’s Conor Garland. nhl.com/video/topic/pl…

- The 2021-22 season was a success for the @EdmontonOilers The team played over .700 hockey under Jay Woodcroft in the final 38 GP. Rallied to beat LA. Won the Battle of Alberta. Made it to the Conference Final. A step forward in Oil Country

- One week ago the @EdmontonOilers suffered a heart-breaking defeat in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Today Interim GM Jeff Jackson and his staff dug-in, grinded away and made the team deeper and better! Happy Canada Day Oil Country.
