"Oilers chances are pretty slim"

Still some Vegas bookies with the Oilers as the favourite in this series while they're down 2-1. But what does Vegas know about the odds anyways.

I deleted my post because I put it in the wrong thread. You can find it now in the series talk thread.

Skates right into his stick.

They’re facing supplemental discipline because it was on McDavid. It doesn’t even get reviewed if it’s a scrum with any other player.

They're facing supplemental discipline because crosschecking players in the face is something the league frowns on, as well as being the third man in to an altercation.

You have to be insane to think the league does even a halfway acceptable job of protecting McDavid, never mind favouring him.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Campbell and Pickard are better goalies.

What

 

[BCNate]

Meh, I'm fine with Juulsen going in for a game or two, won't matter all that much.

Wonder which Oiler is gonna step up and fight Zadorov? Or are they just going to try to hug it out like they did last night.

You know betting odds are heavily influenced by how people are better and not what Vegas thinks?

Well this seems bogus. McDavid could have potentially had a broken neck. When the play happened live and the camera cut away immediately after the crosscheck it definitely crossed my mind that we weren't going to be seeing McDavid getting up from that. This play would be getting attention from DoPS regardless of who the player getting cross-checked was. Greasy f***ing play, it's embarrassing to defend this trash.

They're facing supplemental discipline because one guy cross checked someone in the back, and the other in the face, after the game was over.

Meh. That play happens every game. The league wants to protect its superstar.
Special treatment.

If Zadorov can put his crayons down long enough to fight that is.

 

[Video Nasty]

Shows the lack of faith Vancouver has in winning this series when they have to resort to that move after the game is over. Edmonton blowout win incoming for Game 4.

Campbell was a decent player that just can't handle the load as a starter from what I remember. He could play decent in stretches but needed rest.

As per the "assault" maybe 97 should not act like a tough guy after the buzzer. He brought it all on himself and that's plain to see for everyone. Unfortunate how it looked as he fell like a house of cards but he started whole situation. He's clearly frustrated and Soucy is getting punished for a play that shouldn't have happened anyway as the final buzzer was well before.

As per Zadorov's involvement he barely touched McDavid if he really wanted to hurt him 97 wouldn't be getting up. McDavid is 200 lbs flops around like he's 170lbs when suits him.

This shows what you know about cross checks to the back when least expecting one.
You aren't convincing me that it was a tap and I'm not convincing VAN fans that it was a vicious one to lower back. Zadorov intented to injure as he did when he gave one of these to Drisaitl away from play in game 1.

Let's leave it as is and just enjoy the fireworks in game 4.

I don’t think you actually believe that McDave’s status had no impact on this.

 

[ManofSteel55]

You have Nurse, Divesaitl, McDiver, and Kane. Were you able to type that with a straight face?

Petersson and Hughes have done a remarkable job of diving this series. It's something the Canucks really developed well when the Sedins, Burrows, Kesler were all doing it multiple times a night, and they still do it all the time. McDavid doesn't really dive - he gets taken down an awful lot because he has the puck a lot, so I can see how some might confuse that with diving, but I don't think it is. Nurse doesn't dive. He plays dirty at times, but he rarely goes down at all, so I don't know how you can say he's a diver. I don't think Drai and Kane are any worse for diving than what the Canucks do regularly.

 

[NyQuil]

Ya, that's what i said.

Good talk.

No problem, glad we’ve established what is the same and what is profoundly different and what will likely lead to different results.

 

[Bizzare]

It does when you get crosschecked in the chest after a game is over. That photo is McDavid trying not to fall over after he got shoved backwards for no reason. There was very little power behind that slash.

We’ve been over this, it wasn’t a cross check by Soucy…

Have you ever seen a one handed slash?

Yes..

Lame. No one thought McDavid was injured.
Hyperbole doesn’t help your argument especially given how much the Oilers have gotten away with.

Don't forget Lindholm.

 

[ghostingtaro]

Mcdavid really shouldn’t go around high sticking and slashing players and things like cross checking won’t happen.

Accidental cross check to the face

What move? Going to for a shove to the body again, but hitting the face because the best skater in the world crumpled from a love tap the other direction?

A lot of Vancouver fans here seem to never have done some simple hockey things, like take a hit, or take a slash on the hockey pants.

 

[BCNate]

If Zadorov can put his crayons down long enough to fight that is.

He can color all he wants as long as he continues to own the Oilers this series.

 

[Three On Zero]

Zadorov doesn’t need to fight, he’s ran around for 3 games now without consequence. Oilers have nothing to counter him, they are a charmin soft team that can’t even stop Zadorov.

The one penalty Zadorov could have taken the oilers were dumb enough to take a bench minor on it.

Nurse? MIA
Perry? MIA
Kane? MIA
Vinny? MIA
Janmark? MIA

Interference and a high stick!

Well now I think you're just trying to be funny. It missed though.

I don’t think you actually believe that McDave’s status had no impact on this.

I think the fact that it was McDavid is why they attacked him. Trying to injure the superstar.
