Tonight a new report has shockingly revealed a potential plan by Connor McDavid to protest against the NHL after he was suspended today.

This evening the NHL Department of Player Safety announced multi-game suspensions for both Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers.

Both Myers and McDavid were expected to be suspended for their actions but the punishment handed down by Gary Bettman and the NHL Department of Player Safety was much more severe than anyone predicted.

With these suspensions handed down fans and media members have been furious with the NHL for suspending McDavid believing that if the referees did their job things would not have escalated.

Now just hours after McDavid's suspension was confirmed by the NHL it seems that McDavid himself is fed up and taking matters into his own hands to make things right.

Connor McDavid to reportedly boycott NHL media and events in protest of suspension

A new report from the 2 Mutts Hockey Podcast who are connected with the Edmonton Oilers organization and news coming out surrounding the team have dropped some major information.

According to a new post on X, McDavid and his representation are fed up with referees not doing enough to protect star players.

As a result McDavid is considering scaling back his attendance at NHL sponsored events and media interviews to get his message across to the league and Gary Bettman.

This is huge news not only for McDavid and the Oilers but the NHL as a whole as they seem to have picked a fight with their biggest and most marketable star.

Over the next 24 hours it will be fascinating to see if the Oilers or McDavid make a statement regarding this report and its impact on McDavid's future.
