Connor McDavid Avoids Suspension

December 6, 2021 at 11:23 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 9 Comments

According to Mark Spector of Sportsnet, the Department of Player Safety is not expected to issue any supplementary discipline to Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid for his hit on Los Angeles Kings forward Adrian Kempe last night. McDavid was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the play.

McDavid, who is not exactly known for his physical play, has actually received supplementary discipline in the past. In 2019 he was suspended two games for his elbow on Nick Leddy and last season he was fined for a similar hit on Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

This time he won’t miss any games, which is an important outcome for the Oilers after the team has dropped two straight. They were beaten 5-1 by the Kings last night and lost 4-3 to the last place Seattle Kraken last Friday. While they’re still firmly in a playoff position, the team couldn’t afford to lose McDavid for any length of time.

    no way McDavid should have been suspended on this play. It’s a penalty 100% of the time but not a suspension worthy play.

    should’ve been 1 game, but then Connor has a ‘history’, and the League can’t have that… #ThatsShowbiz

    Wow. It’s like nobody here even noticed a week ago when he was crosschecked into the goal post an no call was made. Refs just stared and shrugged.
    The dude takes huge amounts of punishment on the ice to almost no calls.
    I agree, he needed to be called on the hit.
    Maybe he should get some going the other way though. Kempe also arguably tripped McDavid before the hit.

      So if you get tripped its ok to head slam someone into the boards. Listen to yourself

      Did I write or even infer “It was ok”? I don’t see that.
      I wrote “Maybe he should get some (calls) going the other way though”.
      Could they make the call on a trip to one of the leagues most dangerous scoring threats as the Oilers were entering the O-zone… hell ya.
      Players however will self-discipline if the refs ignore obvious calls, and then they get hurt and nobody should want that.

      Let’s not put on blinders because he’s so good with the puck. McDavid plays a little dirty himself and being the best on the ice you’re going to get targeted.
