WCF: Round 3 (Can You Believe It?!) Game 1: EDM @ COL aka Mc v. Mac (8PM ET)

[PromisedLand]

Whats the over/under woodcroft makes another coaches challenge this series? or ever?

 

[robertocarlos]

Khan!!!

 

[AvalancheRy]

Oilers win the game if not for the BS call.

If that goal is overturned, and the refs decide to call one of the many Oiler penalties in third, Avs win this probably 9-6. This game both sides can cry about refs.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

seems like the Avs were a little overrated. 99% of the hockey world thinks that's an offside. the technicality is the only reason the "juggernaut" won a one goal game, lmao

Hahahahaha "99% of the hockey world" man is straight up bullshitting

 

[MessierII]

But back in reality land, Oilers lose this game. And avs only put up 8 since the refs allowed the oilers to tinder rape anyone they wanted.

Meh exactly like game 1 in Calgary.

 

[Porkleaker]

The Funniest part, the Oilers deliberately tanked this game, just like Calgary Game 1. 2 woody's coming for you.

Haha..as if Avs weren't clutching grabbing and diving throughout the game. If reffing was even Oilers would have way more PPs than Avs.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Brutal reffing. Oilers got away with murder. Entertaining though.

 

[Megapint]

Pretty much this. Colorado got all the breaks and refs special touch first 2 periods and homer Colorado fans screaming for calls in the third. Lol

So if the goal is overturned and the refs call one extra penalty the Avs somehow score an extra goal?

 

[bucks_oil]

I think the rule is stupid too, but it’s still the rule.

You think it is a stupid rule because it is being interpreted incorrectly.


1) delayed offside is afforded to teams that give up possession. Like a dump in. It isn’t meant to apply when a team has possession.

2) He had possession. He knocked it on to himself.

3) if he didn’t have possession, and didn’t dump it in, than he clearly deflected it in. If an Oiler deflected it in, then Makars teammate would be allowed to pick it up. If Makar himself puts it in, his teammate can’t.

3) the teammate doesn’t need to pick it up because Makar had it the whole time. He knocked it forward into his own path.

4) See number 1

Breh check the poll on HF. It isn't 99%

Oh please like the Avs didn’t away with a bunch of picks all 1st period and like 12 holds on mcdavid alone.

Oilers in 5

Gutsy comeback effort there by the Oilers players, the hockey gods will even it out in the end.

 

[El Travo]

Good game Oilers. You have a hell of a squad. It basically came down to who's goalie wanted to stop less pucks.

Avs still win I'm sure but you are exaggerating refs helping Oilers.
Kadri decapitation attempt being a prime example.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Reffing sucked pretty equally.
This will be a fun series.

 

[cgf]

Oh please like the Avs didn’t away with a bunch of picks all 1st period and like 12 holds on mcdavid alone.

Yeah, but we paid for those. Fair & square. You guys got your calls just because the refs felt sorry for you.

 

[AvalancheRy]

Comments like this are so interesting. How do you rationalize retroactively removing a single moment in a game and then expect the remainder of the game to play out the same? It's a tie game w/ two periods to play if that call is overturned. Plenty of things could be different if you remove a single moment and then naively pretend everything else would be the same. It's actually mindboggling logic.

They had more powerplays that weren't obligatory. I'm not sure what game you were watching.

Did you see that "icing" in the last minute? McDavid dry humping Logan O'Connor in front of the net? Landy getting tripped carrying the puck into the zone?

Sorry man, but there was a clear agenda once the avs put 7 up.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I think something about Edmonton brings the worst defensive game out of everyone, including their opponents

 

[Ararana]

Put Smith back in for game 2 plz

The rule has been called this way multiple times in the past couple of years. The precedent has been set and they’re calling it as such.

It was the right call. Former referees are even on board with the call.

 

[tardigrade81]

Put Smith back in for game 2 plz

Lol

He will. But with a short leash

 

[McClelland]

Koskinen played great his 34 min, will give Oilers a chance game 2 against Avs backup. Avs overrated by a mile, could barely hold on to a 7-3 lead. Tampa in 5 whoever they meet in the final(sry Rags).
