Oilers release statement
https://www.nhl.com/oilers/news/release-oilers-statement-on- connor-mcdavid-suspension
| Quote: |
The Oilers organization is disappointed and we share in our fans' frustration over the three-game suspension of our captain Connor McDavid. We support him through this process and the organization and our fans look forward to having him back in the lineup vs. Seattle next week.

I got excited for a spicy accusation against the NHL. Instead I am disappointed in their subdued disappointment.

I think the Oilers are trying to subtly signal some real annoyance here. The press release is unusual, and it says specifically that they're frustrated. It's going out of its way not to embarrass the league, Parros and the officials, but still flagging that they are not happy here.
There have also been media guys who have heard from sources that A) McDavid was going to appeal, and B) that he's intending to scale back on league interactions, interviews, etc. They didn't in fact appeal, but it still indicates to the league that the star and the team are fed up with this.
We'll see if it gets any action. I think it's still too subtle, and we're going to have to see someone go off and get fined before there is a change, but still - at least they're not completely sitting on their hands.
