Connor McDavid Hits Jesperi Kotkaniemi With High Elbow At Centre Ice 

I hope kaprizov qualifies for this superstar treatment, I’ve seen it plenty of times vs us so I guess I want these privilege

Should’ve been 2 games

Wow, so Tim Peel got fired for a “comment” , but McDavid gets a slap on the wrist for intent to injure. Priorities at its best.

He should get a suspension but the NHL is rigged

Even after being hit KK keeps smile. I love this guy.

He should get a suspension but the NHL is rigged

He should get a suspension but the NHL is rigged

Jos kotkaniemi ois tehny saman daividille ois tullu muutaman pelin kielto vittu

What a fuckface

Sometimes I think that some stars could kill an opponent on ice and never receive a suspension...

Honestly 1-2 games suspension IMO, but he’ll probably get nothing.

"minor" penalty ......

Wish he could’ve hit Kotkaniemi harder... I’ll never forget Kotka trying to intentionally injure Petterrson

anyone want to explain to me how this isn't just assault?

Once again NHL Player Safety embarrasses itself with nothing more than a $5000 slap on the wrist.

I didn't watch the game, did a canadien go for Mc David when he came out of the box?

He should get 2-5 games for this

Players have laid cheap shots against McDavid many times before and then people get all up in arms the rare time he does it too.

Absolutely BS how did he not get suspended like Stephenson

How is a shoulder to shoulder hit an "elbow"?

thats sucks

Imagine, Kucherov does that... minimum 3 games suspension

Noooooo I love mcdavid

That was crazy..

Stephenson does it and it’s 3 games. NHL at its finest.

BIGGER GOON NEEDS TO TAKE McDAVID OUT !!!!!!!!!!! PAY BACK is a BEEACH

if this was 80s hockey they would’ve handled it like men.

That was dirty tho good 10’games suspension

I haven't seen McDavid this mad since the 2015 draft

That hit was dirtier than a cross country truck driver's skivvies.

If that was tom Wilson it would be a suspension

It's ethically ok to attack any player for the Montreal Canadiens. Them and their fans aren't human beings like the rest us of.

Horrible check, he could have seriously injured Kot. Can't believe this was only 2 minute minor for an elbow to the face. WTF

Yes he went out of his way fine, suspension but 10 games wow...my only complaint here is the how widely inconsistent the NHL is on this subject.

It was not so bad - 2 minutes is okay. A suspension is fir a vicious elbow not for a little hello how to do.

suomalaiset kallot ovat kalliita, joten kk tulisi kutsua kyynärpäänsä räikeistä rikkomuksista.

Come on 10 games suspension for that the f****** NHL's a joke now

Dumb beta ego sport😂

Marchand should be suspended for that flagrant elbow.

Kotkaniemi shood get suspended for head butting Connor's elbow

Kotkaniemi suspended for head butting Connor’s elbow

Kotkaniemi suspended for head butting Connor’s elbow i say 10 games

5+20 and 15, games penalty

At least he did not throw his helmet.

How he didn't get suspended I'll never know

Very un-captain-like. Bad leadership

Love the Oilers not a big fan of Habs... but this is Total BS...Suspend McDavid too. If Stephenson sits out ...well, same bloody rules for everyone or NHL rules are BS

If whe still had guys like Odjick and Brashear these days, McDavid would have lost more than 5000 $

When you can't generate offense so you generate revenue for the NHL instead:

Kinda dirty

Zero cups

That should be a penalty on Marchand

It's just an elbow... no big deal.

Who does McDavid think he is, Ovechkin????

10 games should send the message

McChicken needs to get laid out, hoping someone returns the favor 🤞

Cannot wait for someone to take a run at this little prima donna. The Oilers fans, ( suspiciously quiet on this thread), will be howling for a full season ban or more for touching their demigod. They already got the little pr%@k in the hall of fame when he hasn't done sh#t sxcept lose.

He should be suspended but since it’s “Conner McJesus” he won’t be the NHL is a joke right now bud

A 5k fine are you joking

Embellished much?!?

Can't believe the restraint McDavid has shown over the years. First time offence for a guy that gets hacked and hooked several times/game with no call from the zebras. Connor was slashed on the wrist twice just moments before....and no call. Good for him. The league should pay him the ref's salary for doing their job.

That’s a ten game suspension

Shame on MTL for not beating McDavids ass before he slithered to the box

He was watching his pass to his teammate! Don’t do that!

What a shame

What did Jesperi Kotkaniemi do one ice before that elbow from McDavid?

Don't do crap like that dude.

Even Kotkaniemi was like "wtf did I even do?" lmaooo

2 min? Only🤭

That should be 10-20 games. The league is a joke with the calls, fire the person heading player safety. Obviously incompetent just like the goons giving him a small fine.

Discipline in this league is such a joke. Stephenson gets 3 games for his elbow, and McDavids, which was worse, gets $5k fine? Brutal.

Well suddenly I don't think that highly of McDavid

mcdcvid was not suspended

he did not get suspended

Everyone one would have been suspended but because it’s mcdavid he isn’t

Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. No other words needed

Absolutely DISGRACEFUL

That's 100% an elbow. Should be a 1-2 game suspension.

Ya probably should be more but I ain’t complaining

I just lost all my respect for kotkamiemi after he did that to Connor

One day this guy can tell the story of how he was touched by Jesus to his grandchildren and how proud he was when he put his dirty head against Jesus's elbow.

What a great leader to give power play opportunity while losing.

Roughing? So a player taking 2 strides toward a player who has already distributed the puck and throwing an elbow into the face is roughing. It looked pretty intentional. Clearly targeting with intent to injury in my eyes. And I’m a bruins fan which means I’m obviously not a fan of Montreal

Tom Wilson should get suspended for an dirty hit done by a star player

Ooof that's a dang it. - Steve Dangle

Don’t worry guys, they’re gonna fine Kotkaniemi for being in Mcdavid’s way

That was clean

I am Oilers fan and this was blatant penalty and McDavid deserved the $5000. That being said as a Oilers fan you constantly see people jabbing, cross checking, hooking, holding, tripping, etc, McDavid and nothing being called. The guy is going to snap soon or later.

I think Marchand should get suspended for this.

McDavids honor points just went down 50%

Elbowing is still a proper word in hockey.

Whys everyone bitching, that wasn’t even vicious. A McDavid elbow is very different from a Tom Wilson elbow. The strength, the intent, and obviously the history.

if Tom Wilson did this he'd get a 36346456634 game suspension

I'm habs fan and live in Montréal That hit was disgusting 😂 Any other player would of been suspended 100%

That was straight up abandoning the play with intent to injure. If you aren't on ice skates that's straight up assault. Should be 10 games minimum

He should have been ejected for that. It was intentional, unprovoked and stupid.

so unprofessional, your good Conner, but you act a like a unmature 14 year old who got mad cause there loosing and broke the other kids ankle.

No one cares !

Not worried about a virus tho

of course no suspension. 100% intentional head shot... shows how much of a temper ginger boy has. Love the way he skated right away to penalty box...so no one would give him a few head shots like he deserves.
