Preds didn't deserve to win. Pekka stole that one.

If by pekka you mean the guys in stripes then you are correct.

Based on?

McDavid needs to stop passing. If he activated his shot he could be better than he already is. Or the Oilers need to find him someone who can finish those passes he was putting straight into the crease.

Oilers like to pass the puck in the net.. we are shitty that way

Maroon's hands evaporated over the summer. He was tapping those gimmies in all last season.

gotta love how they take back the Oilers goal because Kharia's toe might have been 1 mm off the ice but they gave this to Nashville last year vs Edmonton

Based on atleast 5 pps they did not give oilers.. weak calls in Oilers... Hartnell nutjob is 5min major worthy if it was an Oiler

I don't think unfair missed offside calls is a game you're going to win against Nashville.

This call being onside still makes absolutely no sense lol. The NHL's inconsistency is truly a spectacle to behold.

It's ok, they took ours back in the SCF on the same call.

Love it when a player who is "offside" decides the fate of the game even though his skate being a cm above the ice had no impact what so ever on the play. I thought the NHL was trying to find ways to increase scoring. They make the game harder to understand, less exciting and less marketable.

You won't find a single post from me about the merits of a call/non-call. Ever. I do engage in posts in response to folks who do though.

Why can't players just keep their back f***ing skate on the ice? They know the rule.

 

[Space Coyote]

Oilers deserved at least 1 point tonight. Really don't like these challenges.

 

[McFlyingV]

Yeah we Preds fans have fussed about this rule more than anyone probably. It's a crap rule but it is one they have been very consistent with, which is oddly surprising from the NHL.

Consistent isn't exactly the word I'd use given the video posted above.

Well to claim Pekka was the difference would be incorrect as well.. Oilers shots were straight forward saves..

Guess its time to tank for us..

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I mean, EDM's gotta be out of it now, regardless if McDavid does McDavid things.

SportsClubStats has them at 34% to make the playoffs if they go 25-10-4

Lol yeah you're right that McDavid breakaway was a routine save

 

[Armourboy]

I've seen the same call made since ours in the playoffs 4 or 5 times. One time doesn't mean they haven't been fairly consistent with the call.

This isn't really news to anyone. Their season was done the moment they decided to come out of the Christmas break and lay a brick.

 

[McFlyingV]

Sure it does. Consistency would be having the same standard on every play, especially with video replay. Consistency is a little more lenient in real time, but on video replay to be consistent you should be right 100% of the time.

 

[Sam Spade]

Kane, with his 5 point night, jumped over 12 players in the scoring race.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

This isn't really news to anyone. Their season was done the moment they decided to come out of the Christmas break and lay a brick.

I guess I've just categorized EDM in my head as "McDavid could go off and drag them to a playoff spot" for a while now and it's difficult to shed that.

 

[Armourboy]

No you really don't. It just means you consistently make the same call the majority of the time. 100% isn't consistency, that would be perfection.

 

[DJJones]

Gaudreau earned that point. What a great effort

 

[Frank the Tank]

Then Rinne really screwed up that second "routine save."

Thanks for the set-up, Goose!
