Watching these goons and their fan base hand wave away all the infractions and #### they got away with, and bitch and moan about "just 1 game" is revolting.

Grease fans are the absolute worst in professional sports. Honestly, I have no doubt that they would support hiring Carla Humolka as their team's psychologist if they believed it would help their team win. Oiler fans truly have no moral compass or center. After going from five cups in six years to the garbage heap of the league, they became deranged. They're less like fans now and more like feral animals, which is why you see these horses asses fight each other like boozy hogs in their "viewing parties". What they call viewing parties is much more like something out of lord of the flies, but with truck nuts and sweat pants.

I hope they never enjoy another cup because they don't deserve it. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they act like pigs. It's a shame to see such lack of sportsmanship and respect in any fan base.

In short, I hope you guys win game 4 and put this miserable franchise on the brink.

Win or lose, I'm proud of our guys. They've blown pretty much every expectation before the season out of the water, completely.

I'll tell you what I told the Bruins fan, and maybe the Flames/Leafs fans who are lurking around: have seat and chill here a bit if you wish, here's a cold one on the house, take it slow. If this is that which will unite us, even for the briefest of moment, so f***ing be it.

This is the crucial point, they can't go out tomorrow and step out of the system to try and make a big hit or make a stupid retaliatory crosscheck or nut shot on an Oiler since they are going to be scrutinizing the next game heavily and just ready to give the Oilers an extended powerplay.

I'm not worried at all. This team has been extremely resilient and level-headed this year. It's maybe the primary difference between this and other years, and I think maybe the biggest advantage they hold over the mentally fragile Oilers team. They will be fine.

 

[jftam]

What an absolute sickening joke.

I'm remembering why I almost quit watching hockey after 2011.

Pretty much why I don't watch games live or give the NHL my money.

We should know better when this is one of our team's iconic moments.

 

[ziploc]

I suspect the NHL officiating crew are going to favour Edmonton next game regardless. Any retaliatory or physical play by the Canucks are going to be called.

Edmonton is down in the series and the NHL has a vested interest in prolonging this round.

And they will call it "keeping a lid on things" when really if they were going to do that they needed to start in Game 2 at the latest.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Oilers are rattled.

Win game four and their team will break and we can win yhe series at home Saturday night.

They have two to four effective players (+ ian cole) and basically nothing else after that.
Riding mcdrai+ thirty mins is going to have an effect, soon probably the last half of game four we'll notice oilers slowing down.
Just stop taking penalties and weak arse clearing attempts and van wins this round.

If they panic start Calvin Pickard you know its full frazzle panic mode in oil country.
He's worse than skinner and only a matter of time before we score multiple goals on him.

Go silovs go

 

[dbaz]

Well without soucy it just means Elias pettersson needs to step up

 

[White Out 902]

As an outsider, who used to be a Flames fan before my team came back, I used to hate the Canucks. Bieksa, Burrows, and the fact they were the rival of my team.

But this team is very likeable, and I am genuinely envious how they play for each other. The series clinching last minute against Nashville where the team was throwing their bodies to block pucks for their goaltender was really impressive, and I loudly said , by mysefl watching highlights in the morning "thats the kind of team I wish the Jets were against the avs".

Impressive unity and team chemistry.

 

[ziploc]

I know Canuck fans dislike us but I am still pulling for you guys to knock Edm out.
I feel like this league bends rules for certain players and DOPS is one big sham.Shame u lost Soucy 1 game but hopefully u don't stop playing their best players hard because of it .McDavid is frustrated u can see it.Good luck to ya'll.

Nice. For what it's worth, the Bruins got absolutely jobbed by Bennett not getting any discipline and then pushing the player into Swayman for the winning goal. I hope they win the next couple at least.

And I despise Marchand.

 

[Red]

Hyman's intentional cross check to the head getting nothing is what our media should be asking everyone associated with the league about for the remainder of this series.

The Oilers media and their associated simps and worshippers causing a shitstorm over basically nothing for the last 14 hours 100% influenced the outcome and the decision that was made.

I'm fine with Soucy's suspension and its rationale if Hyman also gets 2 games. But he didn't. The NHL bias and media bias against this franchise and the favouritism toward Edmonton is undeniable at this point.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Well without soucy it just means Elias pettersson needs to step up

Man, just waiting on a breakout performance from him. It would be so crucial to our chances of winning this game and series.

Guy better have his head on a swivel whenever Zad is on the ice next game. Juulsen too, as I think he may be given some kill orders out there.

 

[Bgav]

Insane that the nhl doesn't even need to explain why hyman gets no suspension

 

[crazychimp]

This will only motivate the boys to finish even more checks on McDavid and his crew. Hits were 50-30 last game can’t wait to see what they’ll be on Tuesday with Juulsen in.

Rub it in going up 3-1!

 

[Sedinery]

So when will DOPS interview Hyman for his crosscheck to the head of Zadorov?

The play was MUCH worse than Soucy in MDavid as Hyman skated into Zadorov with his stick raised

 

[ziploc]

Insane that the nhl doesn't even need to explain why hyman gets no suspension

No need. His proximity to McDavid is all the explanation required.

I feel like this is karma for cheering for the Bruins last series.

 

[valkynax]

Hehe, why would those who are incapable of doing anything wrong explain their actions to a bunch of ignorant PEONS that are the orca fans?


I mean, they even gave us their word on the wink wink nudge nudge policy to keeping the zebras in line? What possible reason do we have to question them?

 

[22Brad Park]

I feel like this is karma for cheering for the Bruins last series.

Sorry brother lol Go get em.

 

[StickShift]

I’m sick of talking about referees and DoPS. Losing Soucy is rough as a matter of principle but manageable on the ice.

Go in there tomorrow and put another W on the board. They have them on the rope.

 

[Zanon]

Guy better have his head on a swivel whenever Zad is on the ice next game. Juulsen too, as I think he may be given some kill orders out there.

problem with Juulsen is he doesn’t know when and when not to hit someone. He’s given up odd man rushes multiple times this season after rocking somebody

 

[SillyRabbit]

So when will DOPS interview Hyman for his crosscheck to the head of Zadorov?

Hyman also boarded Hughes in Game 1.

Nurse boarded Pettersson in Game 2.

Kane slewed footed Hughes in Game 2.

How does Soucy of all people get suspended?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

One game missing Soucy. It’s the McDavid premium. Should have been a fine.
We should be fine though and he gets a bit of a rest as he’s been struggling. Wish it would have been Cole though.

 

[ziploc]

problem with Juulsen is he doesn’t know when and when not to hit someone. He’s given up odd man rushes multiple times this season after rocking somebody

Agreed, I think we are bound to see a few scoring chances result from him chasing a hit. Hopefully it's hitting a guy that's worth it.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Well without soucy it just means Elias pettersson needs to step up

I forgot he was on the team. I've been just zoned in watching Zadorov, Boeser, Lindolm, Miller and Hughes.

 

[ziploc]

It's beyond crazy that Oilers fans are also running a narrative that the officiating is against them.

I guess we all have our lenses though.
