Zach Hyman took a puck right in the face to score a goal for the Edmonton Oilers yesterday.

That's a red card all day. How come VAR doesn't intervene?
Totally agree. Been way overhyped. They’ll fall back out of top four next season.
The opportunity for finishing second is genuinely there for us. It’s going to be a very dispiriting end to the season for Arsenal.
HT 2-0 City. So in control. Arsenal have been woeful, do they have a Pogba to bring on in the 2nd half?
If that was Casemiro they would've spent 5 minutes scrutinizing the replay before notifying the GMP
I can't believe how out of their depth they are. Really embarrassing display from a team who's top of the league. Just goes to show how flukey it has all been.
Watch Fulham give City a game at the weekend. Arsenal embarassed.
What a shit April it's been for Arsenal. 3 draws and now most likely a loss to City. Just can't be doing that at this stage. That's 3 points from a possible 12. You can't win a title by doing that in April.
Arteta has done nothing. It's been one way traffic and what was he expecting? It needed a change even if it's a tactical one to just kill City's attacks for five minutes
At least they can all have cuddles

10 fingers are curled around the PL trophy.
City making a very good Arsenal side look poor.
Well saves me from watching this game and the rest of the season, see you all for the FA cup final
It's a City player
The inconsistency is infuriating
Never forgot... Xhaka starting a pointless fight with TAA has led to this
Arsenal 
Maybe we can overtake them now they've fallen off a cliff

Hate to say it, but I think it will be a cake walk personally.

The VAR guys will be getting treated to a slap up dinner after the game and a nice little bonus for their services to City.
I'm in favour of letting AI ref the games from now on.
Indeed, bigger fish to fry for the Ase.
I know what you mean, they don’t tend to need the skates on the grass though

Dominant half from City. Felt like all the City-Arsenal game from previous years with City dominating for large parts of those games.
Meh 2 weak "kicks" for me. Nothing more than a yellow.
There was no power in it and he barely made contact with him. I think a yellow is fair.
Mighty effort by Arsenal in that 1st half. 38% possession, 2 shots on goal, zero shots on target
They had amazing luck with injuries. Zinchenko and Jesus are only two who were injured whole season. They lost one centre half now and their defence went to shit
That could have been a red card for Ruben Dias.
A draw would be a very good result right now. Still in the match, but Arsenal need to respond in the second half.

You're wrong, the players shielding the ball out of play or to the keeper do have possession technically or else a direct or indirect free kick would be awarded depending on how they impede their opponent.
Here's the wording directly from ifab's website:
A player may shield the ball by taking a position between an opponent and the ball if the ball is within playing distance and the opponent is not held off with the arms or body. If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent.
Edit: I should have included this as well because it's really the main distinction between what you described and what Partey actually did:
All players have a right to their position on the field of play; being in the way of an opponent is not the same as moving into the way of an opponent.
Partey clearly moved into the way of kdb and did not attempt to play the ball, that means it should be a pen for impeding an opponent with contact imo.
So the title challenge goes out with a bit of a whimper after all that then. City are still cheating bastards.
Arsenal look like a high school team by comparison. Within 5 years the only clubs that will matter in this league will be City, Newcastle, and whoever Qatar buy in the following years.
Actually think Arsenal being overawed have made themselves look poor. Looked a team who were overly wound up and pressing into silly positions first few minutes, then checked out after the goal, mentally they just aren't at it so far. A far better team than they're showing.
This was just so predictable. Only question is whether City proper go for it in the next half and get 4 or 5.
Arteta looks like he aged 50 years since the last game.
I haven't watched Arsenal much this season aside from goal hihglights but that was seriously bad. Barely attacked. Really bad.
Not watching the match but have seen the scores...any hope of City blowing this?
Give me refs that don't dish out a red for that all day long.
Hard to believe this is a potential title decider.
Arsenal look like mid-table fodder today.

We're going to have to set Bruno on City at Wembley and hope he winds one of them up enough to get sent off
