'I didn't mean to get him up that high,' said Carson Soucy after his hearing for crosschecking Oilers captain Connor McDavid.
The Vancouver Canucks will be without Carson Soucy on their blue line for Game 4 against the Edmonton Oilers.
A one-game suspension is likely a best-case scenario for the Canucks given the calls for a suspension from the national media, including respected elder statesman like Craig Button and Eric Duhatschek. Some on the Oilers' side of things were practically baying for blood."Obviously, just an unfortunate incident due to some timing," said Soucy. "If you can see after, it's almost just apologizing, I didn't mean to get him up that high.
Tocchet also pointed out that McDavid wasn't the only player in the post-game scrum to get a crosscheck to the face. The DoPS always says that they look at all aspects of a play involving a suspension. Theoretically, they would have seen this crosscheck to the face by Hyman, one that, on the surface, seems significantly more intentional than Soucy's. Zadorov is 6'5" and the 6'1" Hyman had to reach up pretty high with his stick to get it in Zadorov's face.
"We're lucky we have him as 'technically' our seventh D right now," said Tocchet, doing air quotes with his fingers. "He's been a big contributor all year and played in some tough spots. We're really confident in Juuls."
