I really don't get the intent talk, sure if there's clear intent you can bump the suspension up, but for 1-2 games, intent doesn't matter. Same as to why there's 2, 5 and 10 minutes penalties. 2 isn't about intent, it's about doing something wrong worthy of time off.
are you fucking mad? He left his feet……………he led with his elbow…………….first contact was with the chin……..how the fuck is that not intent to injure? You alluded to why you have this view after it with all your bullshit take that "everyone will be trying to get a penalty" fucking nonsense.
This is precedent for hits where you leave your feet with your hands up and connect an elbow to the face. Minor penalty, no fine, no suspension. Remember that next time, NHLDPS. Even if the name on the back of the jersey doesn't say Draisaitl.
The NHL talks out of their Arse. It was a frustration penalty. He left his feet & landed the elbow. If that hit was on McD or Dreis Edmonton would be rioting. Just be real.
OK, it is allowed to gain speed and jump to air and hit with elbow to opposite teams best player to head – or is it so long time since a Canadien side icehockey team has won Stanley Cup last time 1993 that Oilers have they own rules against Panters.
That is a real pathetic solution of NHL but we didn't expect any better, did we? And I am Oilers follower and Leon fan but come on, that is bulls**t decision! No crying if Florida now plays McDavid out.
NHL does not respect its own rules but explains them out when it is useful. It is governed by dishonest spineless clowns. What makes this serious is that thisway they fail to protect the players from serious injuries. No rules indeed!
Edmonton Cowards . Their was no intent to hurt Barkov ??? Uhhh porky??? He launched himself both skates came off the ice, porky ..I wonder is this would of happen to Barkovs' son .. McDavid, I wonder if McDavid would of got a flying elbow to the face I wonder if the same rules apply.? ..tell me that porky..
The real question is, who dove better: Luostarinen or Barkov? I guess Tkachuk and Bennett weren't getting enough calls with the constant snapping their heads back and looking at the refs, so these two had to level up.
"No intent". What a joke of a comment. Draisaitl is a highly skilled player and can easily stay on the ice for the hit if he wants to, but he was frustrated and wanted to take out the guy who have effectively shut down McDavid and him.
Should absolutely be at least a one-game suspension to get crap like that away from the game.

Have YOUR say, intent to injure or no?🤔
If Barkov can't Play, Draistl should be suspended until Barkov Will Côme back.

Amen thats what i see
No intent at all
Barkov will be somewhat neutered playing in Edmonton anyway, even if he is healthy, as the Oilers have the last line change.
Both skates was in Air he jumped elbow FIRST in head
Bad call. Take ANY OTHER PLAYER and they’d be out for a game.
Suspend him!
When barkov is suited up and playing and looking just fine next game, all this talk of taking people out is gonna sound like what it is, crazy BS.

Of course it isn’t the right decision.
Now McDavid will be targeted by the panthers.
I would advise against it though, because we know the NHL will suspend anyone who touches their little golden boy

Bruce looks older than my 84 year old grandpa
It doesnt matter if there is intent. He hit him in the head. It should be a game
