Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid faced a player safety hearing on Monday to determine the extent of his punishment after he cross-checked a player in the Oilers’ away game against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.

Connor McDavid, it seems, has had enough of waiting for the officials to give him the room he requires to be the best player on earth. For now, he’ll cut his own swath, rather than waiting patiently for a striped arm to go up.

The NHL's Department of Player Safety has announced that both Vancouver Canucks' Tyler Myers and Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid will have hearings in the near future. Both were assessed match penalties at the end of Saturday's game for delivering cross-checks to an opponent's head.

The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks got into a major skirmish to end last night's game, but defenceman Tyler Myers may end up getting the longer suspension.

Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers received match penalties for cross-checking in the dying seconds between the Oilers and Canucks. Both coaches were asked about the ending.

At some point today we are going to hear about whether or not McDavid will receive a suspension for his cross check on Conner Garland from Saturday night's game. In my opinion, the cross check is absolutely suspension worthy.

The Vancouver Canucks secured the 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, but they may have lost a defenceman in the process.
