Now that Connor McDavid has been told he won't get any more discipline for elbowing yesterday, a few Wild players are taking big shots at him. The Minnesota Wild are upset with Connor McDavid after the Edmonton Oilers came back to win 5-3. Their ire wasn't because of his spectacular two-goal effort, which lifted him to second on the Oilers' all-time scoring list, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/oilers-connor-mcdavid-faces-lilely-punishment-per-analyst-after-controversial-hit-on-marcus-johansson' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>but rather a third-period incident</a>. McDavid's elbow clipped Wild forward Marcus Johansson in the head during the game, and there was no penalty called on the play. It was a questionable call, though, and it incensed the Wild. <h3>Wild defenseman Jake Middleton takes massive shots at McDavid</h3> Their defenseman Jake Middleton took major shots at Mcdavid, who called the non-call «horse sh*t» while dismissing McDavid's superstar status as a reason he didn't get a penalty and no further discipline. Bulls**t. I don't care if it's the best player in the world. - Jake Middleton <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/RussoHockey/status/1879749908644725142'> </a></blockquote></div> That could have been a two-minute penalty because McDavid's elbow did catch Johansson, but it did not appear intentional. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/GinoHard_/status/1879748861021020612'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/connor-mcdavid-8478402' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>McDavid</a> had just made a pass and seemed to be trying to work his way around Johansson, and the contact with the elbow seemed incidental. «It's unfortunate and I hope he's okay,» McDavid said in a TNT interview after the game. «Not trying to hurt anybody out there, just trying to go through there.
