I thought McDavid would get 2 games, but I'm okay with 3 games. That kind of thing is not cool, regardless of the circumstance or star power. When they replayed the sandwich cross-checks from last year's EDM-VAN playoff series, what happened to McDavid was way worse. If the NHL wants it out of the game, consistently suspending players who cross-check to the head, will help make it happen less often.
I was also thinking 2 games, but I still think this is fair. Not excusing what McDavid did and he definitely deserved the suspension for his actions. We all know that, had the refs done their job, this wouldn't have happened. The NHL is hands down, the worst reffing of the major sports leagues, specifically because of the inconsistency. I keep hearing that they are going to change, and they keep not-changing.
Hopefully the Oil does well without McDavid in the line up.

I don't mind the length of either suspension. The problem I have is how a retaliation from a 10 second mugging gets the same number of games as an attack on an innocent player completely away from any reason. Garland should have been expecting to get hit while Bouchard was just coming in for the courtesy hug. Not the same at all in my opinion.

Undirected (like not glancing off things) headshots post whistle should be an instant 5game suspension.
There's no reason why they can't make a crosscheck to the head an instant 5game suspension. No reason why.

Hate to say it, but they overcompensated just because it’s McJesus and the whole world watching. They needed to send the message that this shit wont be tolerated not even from the best player in the world
Agreed. typical NHL over reaction. As a massive Oiler fan I would still be OK with this IF it actually leads to changes... Like all elbows/cross-checks to the head are automatic 3 games.
The NHL is "wanting" to signal they take these actions seriously "see we suspended McDavid, no one is safe" but I fear the NHL will put the suspensions back in their pocket so to speak and this suspension will look even worse in 6 months time.

They compared this to Meier suspension for cross check against L'Heureux, it was 1 game. One guy on the radio said that the difference was that Meier's hit was a reaction at fast pace. Mcdavid was frustration and intent to hurt cause he didnt get to participate in last few seconds of the game. This remained me a bit of Matthews crosscheck on Dahlin from frustration. This has no room in the game. Both superstars and both situations had a feeling of "im a superstar you cant do this to me so ill just hit you in the face"
having said all that, if refs called the penalty on Granland as they should long before the check it would not happen. So many things to blame here imo, but McDavid still needs to have better self control in that situation.

I just read a response on Dobber's FB page comparing Matthews's 2-game suspension to McDavid's 3 game suspension and it said McDavid is considered a repeat offender (wasn't sure if his previous suspension had expired) and Matthews was given a major and lost game time with his infraction which didn't happen with McDavid since it was after the game ended.

Repeat offender apparently only effects how you lose money in the suspension process per EF. If you're a repeat offender you actually get fined on a per day rate vs a non-repeat offender getting fined at a per game rate.
