Mikkola slewfoot on McDavid – Tough Call Recommendation



Niko Mikkola threw Connor McDavid down by using a backward arm thrust and putting his leg behind McDavid’s, pitching him dangerously backwards.

  1. Thats what mckinnon did to leon a couple years ago and no call – the game is too fast for the refs – this kind of sh t should be reviewed during the games by toronto and penalties handed out

  2. We need a couple more officials off the ice with the power to call penalties. The game is too fast for two guys at ice level.

    Better yet, train AI to officiate and all calls would be 100% fair.

  3. 6 games for this? Man, it's the nhl, not us college hockey. You wouldn't get more than a game in the ohl. And on top of that, this is the most innocuous slewfoot ever. Mcdavid tries to box out mikkola, hes entitled to battle for his ice.

  4. I think this was a good non-call. They are both jockeying for position with their elbows but McDavid over skates his upper body and falls over without Mikkola using any excessive force.

  5. Honestly, I'm an Oilers fan and I completely missed this play during the game. I'm kinda just numb to how bad the reffing is at this point.

  6. i feel bad for the king, knights and stars. they all would’ve had a better chance against the oilers if they got to play with panthers rules.
