McMichael attempted elbow on Caufield – Tough Call Recommendation



Connor McMichael tried the old Sam Bennett reaction to Cole Caufield coming in for clean contact: a shot to the head.

  1. I gotta agree. NHLDOPS should have at least fined I think. No defense for that, completely unhinged

  2. I disagree. This shows MCM bracing for a hit and being caught by surprise when it didn't arrive. He has no intent to elbow the head, but Caufield pulled away late he had no time to stop the hit motion.

  3. Reminds me of the missed chicken wing by Perron on Kadri in that game when he scored a hat-trick against the Blues en route to winning a cup in '22.

  4. capitals have been doing this since game 1
    bunch of chicken wings, elbow to the face
    cross check to the face

    but if we even come close to a capital player
    he flop on the fucking ice
    and we get a 2 minute

  5. Honest question. How come this one gets a Suspension, but the Wilson missed charge gets only a fine. To me the charge which targeted the head would be more dangerous than the elbow.

    Overall love your content and 100% agree with your philosophy of prevent injuries.
