Schmaltz with a beautiful turn coming out of the zone to set up the goal.

No idea what Darnell Nurse was doing defensively. Didn't take the shooter or the other guy on the two-on-one.

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.

The point is that he didn't quite get the corner, so he tried to make a power move. Both players want that space goal-side. The defender is trying to push him to the outside, and Draisaitl is trying to get his left arm in front to lever him back.

Of course they are. They are allowed to hold on to guys like this without a penalty.




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.

The 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...

You aren't calling this a headshot are you?



He goes straight through the left shoulder.

Not even close. Hit him directly on the chin.

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.

Obstruction? You mean getting in the way of the guy with the puck? Sounds like pretty good defense to me.
