Two for McDavid. On the way to the airport as we speak.

I have to say I'm surprised, I really thought it was going to be a fine or at most 1 game.

DoPS: Connor, we're giving you a fine for the hit.
Connor: No, Please
D: It was high, and late and we have to punish you
C: No, I mean... I should get more
D: What? You're a star and we really don't-
C: I was trying to kill him.
D: Connor, I don't get it. Why would you-
C: I broke into your house.
D: What?
C: I got your daughter to send me nude pics.
D: Connor...
C: I had the sexy times with your wife.
D: ...
C: You like Nickelback.
D: GOD DAMMIT. TWO GAMES
C: *fist pumping* YES

I'm okay with it, but I'm not okay with it.

JFC, they actually had a media availability to express all the faux outrage over a two game suspension to the chosen one. It's like, how dare you suspend him?

For comparson/contrast, here's how the Flames handled the recent two game suspension to their captain:

“The two games, for me, I view it differently,” he said. “Mark plays the game real hard, he’s played it for 13 years without being suspended. Things happen and I’ll just leave it at that. There was certainly no intent to hurt the player, to hurt Koivu at all. I have a great deal of respect for Koivu. But we just view it differently, not just looking at that play in isolation, there were a bunch of things that could have happened differently and didn’t and you move on.

“We’ll turn the page. We have a big task at hand (Saturday) night.”

The icing on the cake is that the Oilers still think they have a chance to make the playoffs and that the league is out to get them with this suspension. This is the same league that gifted you four 1st overall picks in six years, right?

How dare they!!! That “league is out to get us” schtick belongs to the Canucks!

Connor is a pretty stand up guy, it seems.

I can't wait until he gets out of there.

What a piece of drivel - How does Terry Jones know McDavid's hit was unintentional? Of course, all players who hit McDavid have clear intent on their minda.

Quite the kneeslapper in here:
Jesse Puljujarvi is on IR with a lower-body injury that may cost him significant time. So he is not likely to be dealt by Monday. But the 2016 fourth-overall winger wouldn’t have been on the move anyway, not with Oilers interim GM Keith Gretzky insisting that interested parties also be willing to pick up the final four years of Milan Lucic’s deal at an annual $6 million cap hit.

Saw this during the Preds telecast. Wayne actually looked, gasp, sober. Hope he is getting it together.
