We knew it was going to happen the moment they started whining about it before game 1. Unbelievable.Jesus Tocchet crying about the refs. Some things never change about that organization.

Did it when he was with the Flames as well (even though he was getting torched every night).Canucks fans are upset at Cole--fair enough. But don't forget Zadorov, who committed the cardinal hockey sin of shit talking after a goal when the game is still up for grabs.
You mean the "slew foot" that only happened because Hughes turned his back to a clean hit at the last split second?
That's not a slew foot, thats Kane continuing through his check and Hughes trying to duck it. Going to get himself hurt if he keeps doing that.
There was lots of missed calls on both sides. PPs still 7-4 for Vancouver in the series. Shut up and stop whining. The refs didn't lose you the game tonight.
Kane's leg barely had an impact on the play. He should've kept it on the ice but let's not get carried away.Yes your allowed to move out of the way of a hit.
It wasn't split second Hughes was smartly protecting himself by making a fast play against a bigger player, it's called escapability.
Kane still couldve reached & at least pinned Hughes to the boards albeit with less force, instead went all in for the legs.
No its called putting yourself in danger.Yes your allowed to move out of the way of a hit.

I just decided to post in this thread tonight. I’m definitely not hating on either team at this point. There’s nothing to own on my end.Nothing wrong with being a hater.
Own it.
Northern lights are popping now.....holy shit.

too drunk to drive out of town to checkout the lights. Bourbon is amazingExcept they are directly overhead and to the south.

He did the same against Hyman in game one, and again, got blown up for it. He's lucky he's not being seriously injured doing this.
No, absorb the hit shoulder to shoulder. OR actually manage to avoid the hit. He's not "escaping" anything. He's putting himself at risk.So don't go back for a puck? Against Hyman he tried to lean into Hyman & Hyman just bowled him over. I'm fine with that not being called, it's playoffs.
This one tonight Hughes made a fast play to evade a bodycheck & Kane still caught the legs. Not as egregious as the missed high-stick just a response if we're going tit for tat. Ultimately I'm fine with a higher standard including that going uncalled.
But I don't think the plays are the same ultimately.
Reasonable response. Still don't think there's any room to complain when one team has almost double the PP opportunities in a series where both teams dominated one game each. Officiating could have easily fed the Oilers 4 powerplays in game one and we might have watched the Oilers turn that into a 6-2 game. Officiating hasn't had any impact on this series being tied 1-1.Yes your allowed to move out of the way of a hit.

I think the officiating has been pretty even, missed calls both ways pretty evenly, refs are calling it like playoff hockey. We could get into a tit for tat laundry list on both sides (and neither side is wrong)
But I do think to the posters point, a missed double minor is potentially a big swing. Oilers only scored 1 in the third afterall & despite the pressure Van did a alright job containing the high-danger chances.
Credit to McD tho, they were leaned on & came through.
Hard to escape a hit when the other player sticks out a leg, if Kane keeps his foot down Hughes likely bounces off and skates away.No, absorb the hit shoulder to shoulder. OR actually manage to avoid the hit. He's not "escaping" anything. He's putting himself at risk.
Oilers dominated this game by a landslide. Canucks transition game did absolutely nothing all night, and you're right McDrai just basically played 28 minutes of powerplay time tonight the way they hemmed the Canucks in all night.Well at least I know what a Oilers win looks like now. Canucks transition game was still way better.
The most epic McDrai performance ever and the Canucks still brought it to a coin flip in overtime. With a first year AHL goaltender in net.
3rd period only.Did you watch the Bruins / Panthers as well?
Tripping him?Really? They haven't been calling them for tripping him. The panel even discussed how interfering with McDavid is the Canucks' strategy.
McDavid!
How was this not called? Jesus Christ
