Looks to me like McDavid missed the pass and saw Stone barreling down on it and ran interference by making sure he was in Stones way. Penalty all day long. Easy call.
I read the comments and obviously many of you have never played hockey. Without being a whiner, this should have been called for interference. Stone knew exactly what he was doing and climb over McDavid’s back to make sure that after the initial hit, he would hinder him from returning to play. That’s what’s called interference. If you look at games with the Florida Panthers, you can see that the Panthers are doing it all the time. Players without the pucks are hindered in their skating towards the zone, or returning from the zone and are slowed down by the Panthers. It is so obvious, yet no calls from the NHL referees. It takes away from the game, like hooking many years ago.

This isn’t a tough call at all. It’s a collision that looked unintentional on both ends, nobody got hurt, and neither of them seemed to care
It's not tough at all stupid star gets away with everything makes me sick double standard it was a pick by Mc stupid!!!!
Vegas is still whining about it.
Clean af
Coool… Best player on Earth doing what the others are trying to do to him!
2 mins for interference on McDavid
Good analysis. It changed my mind.
Stone was clinging to him like a leech
as usual mcjesus gets away with another blatant obvious penalty…Fjoke
Lools more like an attempt to knee from stall more than an interferrance from MCD.
Nah this one's chill, as an oilers fan. McD stopped to get the puck, incidental contact here.

When nothing at all happened it is hardly a tough call. I have seen things closer to a penalty in the pre-game warmup.
My take? 2 minutes to McJesus for interference. Stone was going for the loose puck and McJesus interfered with him. End of story.
As much as i hate him [and this channels biased bs] this was not interference
So, what's the beef here? Or is it that it's only because McJesus?
Not McDavids fault the size of stones head makes it impossible not to run into 😂
Vegas Bench: Man, McDavid is really fast.
Mark Stone: ….Guys, I’ve got an idea…
When he missed the pass….Definitely looked for Stone so he didn't have a walk in…
This move by Mcdavid is like when you miss the exit and you try to get back in and cut off the other car making an exit.
Nothing wrong here it’s a basic hockey paly
