I agree. Although it was not intentional. McDavid was following behind Hughes, then Hughes suddenly turned around while McDavid had his stick at that level. That level was actually a bit lower because Hughes was a bit crouched when he turned around.
Wow. Almost like you morons have never played before. Gtfo here with your goofy theories. High stick for sure but intentional? What idiots hockey fans have become.
1:43 mcdavid looks right at hughes... then high sticks him.. " accidently on purpose " and now we lose soucy, and zadorov gets a fine... Mcdavid must feel like a god..
"Quinn you have to leave the ice because your bleeding from a high stick".. "why is there no penalty"... "because I didn't see a high stick"... NHL Reffing 101
Since when 😂 you’re just a salty Canucks fan, McDavid gets assaulted more than anyone in the league his cries are justified, does he get away with penalties sometimes? Yes. Does he also have the most uncalled drawn penalties in the league by far? Also yes. So go cry about it.
Officiating in this league is pathetic. We can't go 1 playoff game without refs turning a blind eye to dangerous plays and/or calling a penalty for a nonexistent infraction.
Can someone make a compilation of the worst missed calls for the playoffs this year? I’ve watched nearly every game that’s been on. I’ve seen like only two games where at the end I was like “ya know the officiating was only bad not awful”
I think the refs are being told to allow flagrants and personals more often, as if the higher-ups are trying to bring back rough sports. What MJ would refer to as "real man's basketball" for a reference. I refer to the NBA because the same thing is happening over there.
McDavid is looking being him with his stick in the air. Looks like coincidental contact with 0 intent. It should have been a penalty, but the guy is the fastest hockey player in the world so you cant expect the refs to catch everything.

"loses control of the stick" she said... LMAO Wrong words. McDavid just wanted to get his stick on the other side, he didn't mean it, but it's a high stick regardless. 4mins because there is blood. McDavid smirks at 1:51
@@Devo_gxyeah I don’t really understand that. McDavid intentionally sent his stick, not in retaliation,into hughes’ face. Soucy tried to cross-check McDavid in the chest in retaliation for a lumberjack chop to the leg, McDavid coincidentally crumpled from Zadorov’s attack (tbf seemed unjustified) so he got it in the face. McDavid even drew blood, and Soucy will probably get a suspension. BS I think, but it ain’t that deep so idk
Buddy just say you’re a salty Canucks fan. They missed a high stick and a too many men in the same play that lead to a Canucks goal. It was bad both ways so cry about it. Still lost.
an accidental amount of damage, that's for sure. that's a huge risk to intentionally take while down in the series, and McDavid has his share of uncalled (not quite that bloody though) high sticking shots himself.
People don't know how to read actions. McDavid was skating behind Hughes. Hughes was going one way with McDavid following behind him, then Hughes suddenly turns around and gets a high stick to the face. He basically ran into it. McDavid didn't know he was going to turn around so suddenly. Sure, it was purely unintentional on McDavid's part but a high stick is a high stick and should have been called.
Missed call, but I don’t believe it was on purpose. Just careless. Should have been double minor. But the retaliation by Vancouver is suspendable. Oilers lost this game anyway, so that’s generally a wash. But at least one of the 2 Vancouver players should get some kind of suspension. Not super long as stick to face in that circumstance was also generally an accident
The thing i cant fuckin get is that hughes was forced to leace the ice cause he was bleeding, so obviously something happened, but they refuse to give McDavid a penalty. Don't even get me started on the fanboys who say the refs didn't catch it like cmon, they were literally right in front of the puck when the high stick happened.
If this was a soccer game they would be carrying Hughes out on a stretcher as he rolled around and milked every second of it. Instead he gets up, wants to play right away, but the refs tell him he has to go off because he's bleeding too much. God I love this sport!
hockey is full of embellishment and everyone flops constantly, it's pathetic. Can't make fun of soccer anymore when everyone does the same now in the NHL.
Miller was repeatedly punching McDavid and Draisaitl in the scrum prior and got no penalty. At least this happened in an instant where you initially cant even tell what happened but refs just watch DB Miller punch guys repeatedly 😄
"loses control of his stick" ... McDavid clearly was staring down Hughes before he lifted his stick to slash him.
Mcdavid looks happier after the high stick than he did in the picture with those 2 randoms at the airport
He did it on purpose
@@TOCC50 seemed like it to me, the hockey robot rarely malfunctions

Oilers fan here. That obviously should have been called.
Only because it was McDavid, they will not throw him out of a game, If it was anybody else, the story would be different...

@@brenthenderson3983 so you think anyone else in the league would have gotten a game misconduct for a 4 min minor ? Dial it back there a bit bud.
He paid for it in game three.
Ill tell you that for free

2 mins.
ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR MY DINNER AND PIE ON DATE THREE? Eh,? poor boy?
Oiler fans really tryna claim he was “following through” following through what???? He didn’t shoot or pass the puck. What a joke!
Right 😂
That fk looked right at Hughes and watch his stick raise to his face!
Wow. Almost like you morons have never played before. Gtfo here with your goofy theories. High stick for sure but intentional? What idiots hockey fans have become.
Nah it actually looked like he was trying to raise his stick over Hughes head to not get it stuck on him but miscalculated
Oilers fan here, should have been 4 minutes, could have been intentional. Soucy will get 2 or 3 games.

That was an ignored call.
Two options : 1) McDavid is so woeful, so inept, that he has no idea where his stick is. 2) It was deliberate.
