GDT: WQSF | III | "Momma Said Knock You Out" | Oilers vs. Canucks | 5.12.24 | 7:30PM | SN/CBC

[Kerberos]

There isn't a player on Vancouver's roster that is capable of containing McDavid and Draisaitl so it'd be nice if some of the other Oilers' players chipped in with a little bit of secondary scoring.

If Skinner could play like an average starting goalie, that would help too.

 

[North Cole]

Yah, except any coach would have done the same and it's pretty easy to say that when it ain't your coach complaining.

Have you watched any post games from Knob?

 

[Fishy McScales]

Awesome, you keep saying that over and over with zero account as to why, but yah, it's me that doesn't understand.

I can see that arguing with someone that has zero ability to provide a counter argument is pointless.

Have a nice day.

To my understanding, a slew foot is when you come up from behind to push your opponent's leg forward while using your arm/shoulder/elbow to push their upper body backwards.

That is not at all what happened on the Kane play, as Kane came in for a hit and Hughes tried to spin off him last second to avoid the hit.

It was too late for that, however, so he got him mostly in the legs.

 

[PuckG]

Does any other team have the same history with a ref?

Again I'm not saying that the refs are why we lost that game, merely that there were two missed calls that were pretty f***ing bad.

We deserved to lost game 2, without a doubt.

Again - as has previously been stated in the thread - the Oilers had a worse record under that ref than the Canucks did (I have no idea where to source this, but it has been stated a number of times in the series thread).

Yet, it is only your coach and team whining about it.

 

[3rd Sedin]

two truths and a lie:
- Canucks fans will continue to cry about penalties just as much as their team's head coach
- Hughes and co will continue to dive at a minimum rate of 5 flops/period

Pot, meet kettle

Also saying Tochett complains a bunch about reffing is hilarious. Guy has complemented the refs all year, even in games featuring egregious calls against Vancouver.

It was only our team that had a star player get slew footed and high sticked in the face though, again I don't think he is the reason we lost, like at all, its what he let go, like what he's let go so many times before, thats my issue.

It looked like a slew foot to me, and the definition says often occurring with using arms/shoulders/elbow to push upper body backwards, it doesn't implicitly state this has to be a part of it, merely that "a player comes up behind or alongside an opponent and uses their foot to knock the legs out from under their opponent."

Look it up, that's exactly what Kane did.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Man.. I remember back when we used to complain about reffing too.

Were we really as obnoxious as these Canucks fans? Cause holy jesus, I apologize for being this insufferable.

And?

There was trips, holds and interference ran on Oilers players during the game too.

The previous game had a blatant hand pass that was ignored.

We can go on and on or we (you guys) can stop whining.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Spec really stirred the drink yesterday eh.

For all the discourse I think there's 1 question thats the test for these plays; if this happened to McDavid would it be a penalty. If everyone is fine with Zadorov making that Kane play on McDavid, even if its a potential injury, then there's nothing to complain about.

I think its been pretty even misses both ways aside from the missed double minor, and it being a tough game has been alot of fun, so anyways.. with that said enough on the officiating for now.

Edmonton's place should be rocking, looking forward to another war tonight.

It looked like a slew foot to me, it looked exactly the way your describing it too.

You're entitled to your opinion without having to laugh at someone presenting an actual case that contradicts it.

Maybe that's the kind of behaviour that makes everyone view your fanbase as a bunch of crybabies right now?

If you don't understand the difference between not calling a routine penalty and not calling a slew foot or a high stick to the face I don't know what to tell ya man

You know what, fair enough, I took away the laugh.

 

[thaman8765678]

Hopefully Ian Cole doesn't score again for the Oilers.

I would have hope for tonight, but you know with the Oilers being at home refs will have a mandate to help McDavid.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Who would Canucks fans prefer to start tonight? DeSmith or Silovs?

 

[PuckG]

A penalty is a penalty. Your penalties aren’t better than ours, sorry. Your missed calls aren’t better than ours either.

If it’s not called, it’s not called. On to the next.

 

[archangel2]

Every night is a fun time

this place is a blast--read a post that vanishes 10 seconds later is fun

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Who would Canucks fans prefer to start tonight? DeSmith or Silovs?

Probably Silovs again, he was really good in the last game so I don't think you go away from him.

The issue since Silovs took over has been; if you go back to DeSmith & he has a rough outing, then you've messed with both goalies.

And aside from game 1 Silovs has played well enough these playoffs that he deserves the run.

Kane led into that hit with his hip every replay shows it

 

[Chairman Maouth]

If you don't watch the entire video, shut up. Don't comment.

Cool, I'm done talking about it hoping for another good game.

It’s a trip, and that’s all it was.

 

[ZJuice]

Who would Canucks fans prefer to start tonight? DeSmith or Silovs?

As an Oiler fan (sorry) I would prefer Silovs. I think it's because the Oil made DeSmith look very good as recently as April.

 

[Cloned]

Not illegal, just frowned upon

Some of it might be illegal

 

[Three On Zero]

Some of it might be illegal

Only in 5 provinces and 47 states

 

[Iggys Dome]

Yeah I think DeSmith was 2-0 against the Oilers this season, that’s why I was wondering what Canucks fans general opinion was.

But it makes sense that if they went with DeSmith and he got obliterated, both goalies mental has been messed with

 

[rypper]

Just double checking all the uproar and comments about Tocchet WHINING about reffing was just the comment about slew foots or am missing something else?
