How refreshing… what’s his face needs to take note.

It's certainly a more polite/indirect way of saying NHL officiating sucks.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Who cares?

Is it the Oilers job to say good thing about the Kings?

 

[Dempsey]

Read the tweet again dummy.

And why does my response not make sense to you?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

People saying Doughty had a good game make me wonder what series they're watching.

Blew a wheel on the 3-2 goal. Out of position on the 3-3 goal. Awful on the OT goal.

I think hes been absolutely amazing.

No bias towards the Oilers at all.

 

[WaW]

Kings fans are being incredibly harsh on Byfield on their board. Bunch of things being said like "he isn't skilled enough, isn't tough enough, should've played all year in the AHL, letting his team down, we shoulda drafted Stutzle instead."

I mean, fine...none of those are really hot takes or anything, but like, logically they should be directing thay animosity toward Turcotte, lol. At least Byfield is on the team. Think of all the impact players you coulda had instead of literal bust Turcotte.

He did read it.

What dont you understand about his reply?

Seems pretty straightforward "dummy"

To be fair to him he’s being asked to play insane minutes against good players right now and get it going for his team offensively. I think he’s played well. The kings D is starting to crack though. Oilers are getting it behind them and forechecking hard.

Turcotte has been a huge disappointment. Seemed like a guy with a high floor I’m surprised.

personal insults are always a good way to make your position in a discussion stronger.

3 PPs tonight, in a series where the Oilers have averaged 2.75PP/GP to the Kings 4.25PP/GP, and people are really claiming the refs got the Oilers back in this one. You can't make this shit up.

 

[Shellz]

Play more disciplined

Good one

And Hyman is useless, again.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Tables really turned on this shit right here.

KINGS NEED TO PLAY MORE DISCIPLINED



LA scumbags

 

[soothsayer]

How limited of a person does one have to be to care about something like this.

 

[McFlyingV]

Good one

It was a good one. Complaining over 3 penalties called against a team is laughable. If the PPs were something stupid like 7-2 then this might be a valid complaint.

Edmonton loses = Oil fans mad

Make it make sense

Turcotte has pretty much been under some kind of medical care since he was drafted. Guy has had several significant injuries. Cannot catch a break.
Hopefully like Vilardi he can be injury free and show what he can do.

I think Turcotte’s had some serious concussion issues if I’m not mistaken.

Looks as thought the Oil have figured out Korpisalo....

They were beating him high all night and if it wasn't for the goal posts they would of had 7 or 8 on him tonight.....

I mean they definitely should've drafted Stutzle but every team has guys on their roster like that. He's not ready but like you said he's probably still the best option. I don't know if he should be playing as much as he has been I guess.

So you still think the NHL has some big ol conspiracy theory to prevent the oilers from winning a SC?
Or does your fanbase finally realize that officiating in the NHL stinks to high heavens in general and they are not out to get a single team?

Because thats what we are getting at here

They can't whine about being victims.

Sore winners and sore losers.

I guess is that quote is what makes you think this.

We can also say this

LA loses = LA fans mad
LA wins = LA fans still mad

Do you always generalize a fan base and project that onto the person you're talking to?

No I don't think there's some conspiracy in the NHL against the Oilers or Canada. I do think NHL officiating is awful. I do think game management exists and influences when and who they call penalties against. I also do think officiating in this series has been soft as shit with way too many ticky tack calls. Tonight was the first night I thought they actually let meaningless infractions go for most of the game and let the players just play. I'm on record saying I don't think they should call penalties in the playoffs if they don't actually influence scoring chances unless they're some kind of blatant play that can cause an injury (i.e. boarding, high stick, dangerous slashes, etc).
