... Connor McDavid hasn't drawn a penalty in the playoffs in the past two years. Yet we continue to see goals that look good get called back because of goalie interference. What gives?
The numbers, when you look at them, are staggering. To this point in his career, Connor McDavid has played 21 playoff games. He has been on the ice for the Edmonton Oilers for a combined 502 minutes and 30 seconds in those games. And in that time, the fastest, most talented and most dynamic player in the world has drawn a total of six minor penalties, zero in the eight games he has played in the past two playoff seasons.
Six penalties. One for every 83 minutes and 45 seconds he has played.
For time immemorial, it has generally been accepted in hockey culture that players who are more offensively gifted than their peers and, thus, have a competitive advantage of them, are expected to put up with more attention from their peers. And sometimes it falls on the wrong side of the rulebook. Bobby Hull complained about it for years. When Peter Stastny first came into the league, there were nights when he would have to drive home from games using only his right hand because his left was black and blue with bruises. (TSN analyst and former NHLer Ray Ferraro told me that when he was on the ice with Stastny, he would simply hold Stastny’s stick for the entire shift until the referee instructed him to let go. He would for a second, then simply grab it again.) Mike Bossy, one of the greatest goalscorers in NHL history, was forced to retire at the age of 30 because of back problems brought on by enduring countless crosschecks.
So this is nothing new. But anyone who watched the Oilers’ first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets and would suggest that not a single infraction was committed against McDavid is either a blindly loyal Jets fan or wasn’t watching very closely.... cont'd
