Well it's obviously clear that the NHL wants Hughes in the final four.

It's too bad that the NHL consistently has the most embarrassing officials in all of pro sports.

 

[oXo Cube]

Forwards with both feet in the crease don't get the benefit of the doubt basically ever. Challenging that would have been an extreme long shot.

 

[iCanada]

Knob wants to keep his timeout

Your time out and your challenge aren't related anymore.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Team seems scared I don’t get it… other teams push immediately after being scored on oil look dejected

 

[Oilking83]

I think I had bigger balls than Knob when I was 4 years old.

No way we win the challenge. Connor was in the paint and made no “attempt” to avoid contact. It’s good call not to challenge and give them PP

 

[CycloneSweep]

Whatever, it's even, go win the last 40. Let's Go Oilers

We need to crush the first 40 cause Vancouver just whips us in the third.

Could see this coming by the amount of vancouver homers working every game this series

 

[iCanada]

How many elimination games has McDrai won?

All of them without Skinner in net.

 

[DrDrai]

Any time a player is pushed into the crease it should count.

That was a massive flop too. Screwed by the refs on goals year in and year out.

 

[aspin3]

When your goalie coach is dead set on playing on the goal line you don’t use material movement.

Skinner seems to be sliding too far. When he is at his best he stays square to the shooter and easily uses his big body to just move post to post

If only it was the early 2000’s and the rule was you can’t have a toe in the crease.

 

[TheNumber4]

Knob would have lost that challenge.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Blow it out your ass freidman

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

That was the right call imo. No goal

 

[CupofOil]

Obviously I'm an oilers fan, but the referee side in me.......flame me but that was a good call.

McDavid was in that space before contact with anyone was made. The way the rule is written up, no goal is always the call.

Yep, McDavid was already in the crease before he got pushed. I know everybody is fired up but that wasn't getting overturned, objectively speaking.

 

[McOilers97]

Lol. Was just complaining about how perimeter McDavid and Nuge have been. Next thing I know McDavid is skating into the crease and getting a goal disallowed lol

McDavid wanted the experience of being Zach Hyman for a shift. And he definitely got it.

 

[iCanada]

Team seems scared I don’t get it… other teams push immediately after being scored on oil look dejected

Other teams trust their goaltender.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Drai line playing great, McDavid line awful. What else is new? Not content to just be completely ineffective McDavid takes an oilers goal away by skating right into crease.
'
Is he on painkillers?


Skinner awful. nucks didn't shoot on two empty nets.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

That was the right call imo. No goal

Probably, but I'm a homer

 

[TheNumber4]

Perhaps. But a PP at beginning of period is statistically unsuccessful and you had a decent chance to be up.
I would have

Hm true. That’s a good point. Early period PPs suck.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Other teams trust their goaltender.

It happens with pickard too

 

[Albatros]

Your time out and your challenge aren't related anymore.

A 0.0 delay of game penalty is always fun.

 

[McDrai]

Most teams make a pretty big push in the first period when they are at home. When you add in the possibility of being eliminated that becomes a huge push. We look pretty flat and disinterested. I consider it a major loss to be tied after 1. Vancouver will take over in the 2nd.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Really dumb play by McD. What is wrong with him?

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Mcdavid had one foot in the crease and was getting pushed. Sucks but refs love to call it
