There's a thread dedicated to the hit if you wanna deep dive into the discussion.
Comparing it to the Archibald hit is fair, I can certainly understand anyone being confused by why one got a suspension and the other one just a minor penalty. There are some minor differences that aren't very obvious so I gotta assume those differences are important. Also suspension history might play a part. Or it's just the player safety department playing darts, who knows.

New system? it's the original system post expansion(1968 playoffs) when there was 2 divisions.
The 70's kept changing playoff formats. '82 Got divisional playoffs.
It wasn't until '94 that the NHL started using conference based 1-8. That lasted 19 years. The NHL has used a divisional system longer than it ever used a 1-8 conference system.
Anything can happen with injuries (look at VAN), strategic coaching, momentum swings, and whatnot.... but yeah probably gotta go for 6 or 7 then

I am just so shocked a 2nd year 3rd round pick goalie making 2.6 million a year hasn't morphed into Sergei Bobrovsky or Andrei Vasilevskiy yet. 'Cup or Bust' team with the best player in the world allotting 3.3 million combined to the most important position in the sport. Boggles the mind a bit doesn't it.
Maybe Schmitty still has his Oilers setup hanging up ready to go.

So you're telling me if we call up Campbell and change that 3.3 mil to 7.6mil we might have a chance? I'll try anything once (or in this case twice).

Anything once and the kinky things twice
Hey never say never. Although Campbell did also get lit up himself for 5Gs by the Kings farm team tonight soooooo... I dunno not great.
What if, stay with me here Kenny, instead of bad goalie what about getting a good one.

This is why Edmonton isn't going anywhere. They never step on the throat of inferior opponents. And their goaltending ensures that the opponent will always be in the game.
Five years in without a legit #1 goalie is on the GM.

Agreed. The Oilers aren't going to be able to outscore their problems in the playoffs. They won game 1 and had to score 5 or more goals to do it. Their goaltending, just like it has the past 5 plus years, will be their undoing once again.
Blaming Skinner is the easy choice but the oilers are just a shitty defensive team who constantly give up odd man rushes and high danger chances
The 1st goal and 5th goal are good examples. Of this.
Oiler fans should watch the nucks and see what a top 3 defence looks like
I think people are being a little too hard on Skinner, 3 of the 5 goals he gave up were 1 on 1's another one was batted in so the only real bad goal in my eyes was the Fiala shot. Sure you want him to save some of the grade A's but that shouldn't be the expectation.

Go easy on those Mango Giapanes brother...
My dude, the Kings were a top-3 defensive team this year, I don't think they need to look at Vancouver to see that.
Skinner just can't make a save when it matters. Must feel like cheating for anyone playing against him
White Out 902
I'm usually right.
and of course, again the unhinged fans outside the arena get in to fights. love to see these classless clowns take an L
