Post-Game Talk: Fire Tippett, trade Bear

[Snipes45]

I just read an article on the Athletic where they counted 30 penalties by the Jets on McDavid that went uncalled

It's so absurd at this point that all I can do is laugh. I would love if Holland did a Burke style press conference calling out this bullshit but he won't do it.

Luszczyszyn: NHL playoff officiating is an embarrassment we've accepted for too long

IT IS A FUKIN MASSIVE EMBARASSEMENT AND THIS PU**Y GARBAGE FRANCHISE SAYS NOTHING LIKE BURKE DID ABOVE

Last 8 playoff games McDavid drew 1 or 0 calls total (Dont know if he or Drai drew one this series).

Those refs were pure garbage and should be reviewed

Furlatt did that before

How that knee was not called is MINGBOGGLING

Basketball superstars get calls, there would never be a series where a Kevin Durant is allowed to be grabbed/hit/bumped without the other team fouling out and gifting the Nets a ton of free points.

Hockey is the opposite, they want to put low skill players on par with the best players and look the other way on calls.

NHL wants a false parity so people watch the games longer, because they clearly have zero clue on how to market their game.

To your point...penalties drawn in these playoffs:

Blake Coleman: 7
Connor McDavid: 0

 

[Snipes45]

Then you have all of these mouthbreather neandrathals saying "hahahha we shut em down!"

Ya, you cheat and it is allowed

That is why McDavid tore through the regular season. They didn't let all of this go. Theys till did, but not this much.

No wonder MTL held him off the sheet. They mugged him all game too

It's common sense

This league is so trash and so backwards with it's top players

Blake Coleman is an elite talent who was traded for a 1st rounder last year, though.

 

[MoontoScott]

Cancel Cultists saves their energy for our football team.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the name "Oilers" was of interest to him. He likes to go after the Cowboys too because of Jerry Jones long association with the oil industry.

Good point. This league is an absolute sham. They've better clean up their act with the officiating. If star players go down with injury from something cheap, the league is only hurting themselves. For example , someone in Columbus would be more willing to buy a ticket to a game to see a McDavid or a Crosby play vs their team. These are league assets and you protect them. They f****** don't understand that.

More questionable decisions from Tippett once again in this game. Bear should have been given a press box seat to let him settle down, but stubborn Dave put him in the fire again, and got his fingers burned badly on the tying goal (flat out giveaway), and then a horrible line change in OT. And because he lost in-game faith in Bear after the giveaway, Nurse had to play an ungodly amount of minutes, as well as Larsson, and you could clearly see it was starting to wear on them.
Putting both Draisaitl and McDavid on the PK in the first, where he should have been saving them for offence and 5 X 5 play. And the expected result happened with Draisaitl losing his man and the Jets scoring the all important opening goal.
I don't like changing coaches, and we still have a way to go in building the team, but he's starting to make it very hard for me to stay in his corner.

I'll say one thing, I hope he regrets not playing Shore in the first 2 games. He really elevated his game for the playoffs, great effort by him. I hope he returns next year.

..Oh man.

I am 100% confident that most refs still hold a grudge against Connor when he embarassed Kozari in that CGY shootout and he has yelled at Joanette and a few on National TV against the Leafs

It is 100% absolutely inexcusable that he has not even drawn ONE penalty in 8 playoff games. That is mindboggling.

This league won't do jack sh** either. I have never despised NHL referees as much as I have the last year and a half

Absolutely terrible at their jobs

And this Oilers organization is not going to go bat for him at all. They are too nice for that

What do you mean? McDavid gets "special treatment".

Good God the mains pisses me off sometimes.

I went there for 5 min and will never go back lol. Just full of so many low life trolls. Not good for the blood pressure

 

[ItWasJustified]

Bear is well ahead of Larsson

He started down in the corner on the left side of the ice though.

So yeah, not Bear's fault.

Not his fault that he took a 20 second change and went to the bench without making sure the puck was in deep.

Yeah, right.

It takes the organization to address it unfortunately. It should be a safety priority.

That is honestly nuts how scared we seemed to be to have Bear on the ice. 20s shift and we're in a panic for him to come off just as McDavid is crossing center. Why even put him out there at all? McDavid was out because we were about to be able to go on the offensive at the very end of the PK. A forward is coming out of the box, so it's not like we couldn't put the D we wanted out there for a full shift.

Ah well, whatever I guess. Damn this paper thin roster and having half a team the coach is scared to play, but then for some reason plays for 20 seconds.

Bear is probably done as an Oiler if the coach can’t trust him on the ice.

 

[Snipes45]

I liked an article from The Score about McDavid. For all the Leaf nut huggers out there:

McDavid committed to Oilers despite sweep: 'We want to see this thing through'

"That's not the case at all. We have a great core," McDavid said of the outside chatter of him potentially leaving Edmonton, according to The Athletic's Daniel Nugent-Bowman. "We want to see this thing through together."

"No one in our dressing room is thinking about stopping," Draisaitl said. "We know we're on the right track."

I wonder why Tippett decided to swap Puljujarvi with a guy who hasn't scored in 30-something games. All because of one missed pass?

I guess, I thought it was to change the dynamic of the Haas line, which is seemed to accomplish, for whatever it was worth.

We have like 12 threads that are all talking about the same thing.

Worked in spite of him, honestly. Puljujarvi can generate more on his own. Yamamoto needs to get carried a bit.

Not sure why but Pulju did look good driving his own line.
