How do analysts and former players react to Connor McDavid’s three‑game suspension?

So we will hear from Leon Dry Settle, Matthias Eckholm, and Oilers head coach Connor McDavid. Here's Dry Settle's reaction to McDavid's uh three-game suspension.
I mean I don't have much much to say towards it. Um Certainly in the case. think three games is a little little too much. Uh for either side. Yeah, I guess we don't overly care about having our our best players in the league in the game, so I'll leave it at that.
We don't overly care about having the best players in the league in the game. That kind of says it all. Uh Dry Settle also shed some perspective from his point of view on uh the officiating of the game Saturday night in Vancouver. Yeah, I mean like that that can get avoided.
Mm it doesn't even need to get to whatever happened at the end of the game, right? That's how I see it. That that's to me clearly a penalty. He's trying to get back into the like Conrad doesn't want to tangle with Garland in that situation. There's twelve seconds left. Like we're looking to score. Like we're not looking to tangle with anybody, so but I know I I also know the game happens quick and that's just y you know, like the refs aren't gonna make the right call every single time. I understand that, but In that instance I think that could have been a uh avoided
The question was also asked uh to Leon Dreisaddle. Do star players in the National Hockey League get enough attention when they're being fouled? Maybe not
quite enough because to me that's just common sense. It doesn't again make much sense, you know, when you have the puck. Guys are trying to defend and and Connor has the puck an awful lot and more than anyone.
