BREAKING NEWS, REFS SUCK! oil lose 2-1

[blueracer17]

Maroon is a boss and calls it like he sees it. Great post game interview.

 

[McDynasty]

you could make a dossier of all the bum calls against us this year and make a case that it can't be a coincidence.

If you made an extensive review of all ref calls involving the Oilers, both for and against us, I'm sure it would come out stilted hard against us.

I would love to see them all myself again, back to back, It would be pretty interesting viewing.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Maroon picked the puck up at the end there. Did he give it to the refs?

Probably a souvenir for Yak's last goal as an Oiler. Or for Drai hitting 50 points.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Yup and then get it to the MSM and hopefully someone has the guts to point out how much we've been boned by the officiating.

Marron on his penalty;

"terrible call"

 

[Dakine879]

Maroon just made it pretty clear what he thought of the reffing on a CHED post game interview

 

[adkid2]

What pisses me off is that if it was indeed offside, the Ducks could have challenged it and won. There would have been no harm if they kept the play alive....

 

[Del Preston]

The two worst calls of the season have occurred against the Oilers in the past two games. Not even debateable.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

That's 12-16" inside the blueline. ****ing awful to have a game decided like that.

 

[BlackDogg]

I fear for Mcdavid wanting out at some point just because the league makes it impossible to win here. I don't think he'd leave for any other reason.

 

[Birdperson]

Even I thought it was a little ridiculous with the refs but this is getting absolutely awful.

 

[oilinblood]

And lose 10k for something that won't make a difference? If he were, and he is, a smart man, he won't say anything out of line.

Because that's how the system forces him and others like him in this league to act.

The only way we see a difference is if we see a call like that get a monetary fine and it's done openly for the league and fans alike to know about. Take the unchallenged power away from these morons and create some accountability, because right now, there's zero.

ZERO.

Thats the fans choice...and fans continue to eat and support the garbage

even if the ref apologizes...its BS. BS

This is a clown league

People need to stop buying the licensed merch. Stop supporting.

 

[KCC]

The ref probably lost sight of the puck for a split second in the mass of all the black skates and thought the puck was over? That's the only thing I can think of. I don't know. Watching it live though you could clearly see McDavid keep it in. /shrug

 

[Draw Me a McElephant]

I've been a hockey fan for 30 years and I've never felt this way before, but the officiating has been so outrageously bad this year I'm now completely convinced that there is something more going on here than just incompetent officials. In years past sometimes bad calls would go against the Oilers and sometimes for them, but this year they are getting the short end of the stick almost every night. It is particularly bad when playing the California teams. I don't know whether there is some league wide conspiracy (that seems hard to believe) or if the refs just hate the Oilers or some of their players, but there is something going on here because this cannot possibly be a coincidence that we are victims of this kind of absurdity every damn night.

Who has 2 hours of free time to sit there and do it though?

I mean watch a finished version of all the botched calls against the Oil, not make it.

This whole season has been a farce.

 

[Butane Fan]

The Maroon call was absolutely horse pucks. The onside call well that was it. The Zebras should get **** canned for that. How can you make such BS calls always against the Oilers. Hell there needs to be some accountability

 

[Epoh]

I’m gonna wait until we all cool down from the officiating bull**** to chat the other big story tonight.... Yak.

But I will say.... that shot nurse took at the linesman at the end of the 1st period (i think) on the dump in. Well.... it may have come back to hurt us.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Does this happen to us the most? I don't watch other teams that much so I have no idea

 

[Del Preston]

What a play by McDavid to keep that puck in the zone, btw.

 

[BlackDogg]

 

[Arpeggio]

With the way the rules are setup, the ref has no excuse to call an offside unless he clearly sees the play go offside. It's a reviewable call.

Especially with 8 seconds left in the god damn game. Obviously this was an instinct call, but it was a ****ing stupid instinct.

Sure don't say anything and continue to get crapped on. If I made McLellan money I'd take that fine, wipe my ass with the stack of hundreds and then send it to the NHL head office.

Can he be fined for that? I hope he doesn't get fined.

we're not at that point

We sound like a bunch of complaining babies when we watch this and moan, and of course we're bias when we say we're not getting fair treatment here, but the proof is in the mother****ing pudding.

It is so unbearably obvious that there's something going on here.

 

[BlackDogg]

I've had a suspicion regarding the league and southern teams (ie. officiating bias) since the "non-goal" on Quick by McDavid early in the season. If it smells like ****, its usually ****.
