GDT: WCQF (Game 5) Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings, 10pm ET, ESPN

[snag]

I think it’s funny that as a Canucks fan, you don’t even bother mentioning your own team who the Oilers are likely to face next.

Stop worrying about the Oilers and worry about what your own team is doing.

hilarious he totally skipped over his team rofl

[BMOK33]

There is no way anyone is gonna beat Edmonton if officials are gonna call penalties like this

 

[biturbo19]

This colour guy is very excited.

Who is it?

Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

I understand Oilers fans are excited, but this is literally a one trip pony once again.

it’s the same shit every single year

Legitimately curious without talking shit here, Oilers fans, what makes you think you have any chance against Colorado or Dallas if you’re just gonna be a PP only team?

Legitimately curious

Are you referring to the Oilers being good at scoring PP goals ?

 

[fsanford]

So 11 more goals on special teams for Oilers. Those were PP goals tonight


11-0

 

[Czechboy]

Happy to be up 4-2 but that was an awful bounce from Rittich.lol

Oilers are looking great. PP is dialed in. Oh wait, using a PP to win is illegal on HF.

 

[Master Yoda]

Show me an oilers slewfoot

Show me a kings slewfoot

 

[trilobyte]

Rittich hung out to dry with that defensive performance in front of him

 

[Little Psycho]

these frauds are literally the definition of PP merchants.

Same teams as last year.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Obviously judge each game on a case by case basis. But kings aren't exactly known for taking lots of penalties compared to the rest of the league.. they were 20th in penalties taken coming into the POs.

Oilers have been ahead of them in penalties taken the last 2 years.

Because the Oilers skate. eep their moving through checks.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Must be Hard playing the oilers, they get a powerplay everytime someone touches mcdavid.

And then bury it on the pp.

That pp is the most impressive thing I've ever seen. Rittich must have felt like he was in Iraq

 

[Coffey]

LA had the 2nd best PK in the league this season btw.

And Winnipeg swept the Avs!
And Vancouver swept us!

 

[pcruz]

What the discrepancy in calls and penalty criteria will end up with is that the team feeling aggrieved, will take serious liberties when they feel like if they're going to get a call anyway, may as well take a chunk of the other player.


And that will just end up in injuries.

All the NHL achieves with this type of officiating is that it puts players at risk of other players taking matters into their own hands.

 

[Ghetty Green]

Harnaryan is giggly LOL

 

[JKG33]

Two things that were obvious coming in:

Gary Bettman's shitty playoff format is seriously flawed
The Kings weren't winning shit with their AHL quality goalie tandem

 

[Matty Sundin]

lol oilers only team that gets criticized for scoring on PP when there’s some teams out there that can’t do jack with a PP.

 

[NyQuil]

Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino.

 

[PULSATING]

Show me a kings slewfoot

U first

 

[BB79]

No. This is the first game this series the reffing has been this bad

That's not what I've heard. And it's been pretty lousy league wide

 

[Mike C]

Yeah, I always felt Barrie was a nice piece but a smaller part. Then Bouch replaced him and immediately felt like he was more of a driver than passenger. And he gets his third point as I type this.lol

Bouchard moves the puck well, has a good hockey IQ, has a heavy shot and can get the puck on net. Barrie not so much

 

[Duke74]

What makes it so lethal is he has McDavid feeding him.

Lol. Then why doesn’t everyone else on the Oilers have 3 50-goal seasons?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

lol oilers only team that gets criticized for scoring on PP when there’s some teams out there that can’t do jack with a PP.

That would be my ducks. Lmao

 

[BelovedIsles]

AJ worked for the Isles for quite some time. I like her, and I think Monaco does too.

 

[biturbo19]

Same teams as last year.

Yep. Still Powerplay Merchants vs Smothering Defence Hope For Good Bounces team. Despite both having entirely different coaches somehow.
