Pretty unreal, I don't remember a game this year where they let all those goDraisaitl has had dudes using him as a jetski the entire game. Hope he gets one in OT.
Arizona is 9-4-1
Of course they are. They are allowed to hold on to guys like this without a penalty.

Celebrating like they won the cup

An unfair trade for the headshots but we'll take it.
Pretty bad display of reffing on both sidesAn unfair trade for the headshots but we'll take it.
Neither of these is a penalty. When a guy is leaning into you, you're allowed to push back. Might as well call Draisaitl for using his free arm to hold back the defenceman if you think this should be a penalty.
You think Drai, the leading goalscorer in the NHL, wanted to put the defenders body between him and a clear cut break away?
LOL
You're joking, right?

Well, I mean, yeah... the defender is going to, well, defend. Should he just have let Drai do as he pleases because he scores a lot of goals?
No, Anglesmith was saying Drai purposefully leaned on the slower defenceman instead of going around him. Why would he do that? He had the angle and speed on both.
Only reason he didn't get two clear cut 1 on 0's is because of blatant obstruction.

No mention of the Kassian hit to the head or Nuge running OEL from behind though right?
Have fun with your one line team. As soon as Connor and Drai were off the ice in OT it was pretty much a guaranteed win.
I wouldn't waste your time with that guyThe Kassian "headshot" is not a penalty or an illegal check to the head. He hits him square in the shoulder and then bounces through the chin.
As for the OEL hit from behind, you never mentioned OEL himself throwing Khaira or P.Russell from behind into the boards. So...
A. Not even close to a "clear breakaway".Nah, Drai is talented, therefore Oesterle is allowed to break the rules and bear hug him to prevent a clear cut breakaway by the leading goalscorer in the league.
You aren't calling this a headshot are you?
He goes straight through the left shoulder.
You have a really weird definition of "clear cut breakaway." Oesterle was literally right beside him and maintained that position the entire way. I expect fans to be biased in what they THINK they see; I just don't expect them to be delusional.You think Drai, the leading goalscorer in the NHL, wanted to put the defenders body between him and a clear cut break away?

Obstruction? You mean getting in the way of the guy with the puck? Sounds like pretty good defense to me.No, Anglesmith was saying Drai purposefully leaned on the slower defenceman instead of going around him. Why would he do that? He had the angle and speed on both.
