WCSF Game 4: Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights | 8:00PM MT 7:00PM PT | ESPN, CBC, SN, TVAS

[McFlyingV]

No injury to Drai, and it wasn't a head shot, so my prediction is a suspension to be served at the beginning of next season.

There's no such suspension. Punishment is always immediate.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

It was after, and a clear crosscheck to the face

Yes. It was a clear crosscheck to the shoulder pad that rode up and gently caressed Pietrangelo's face, which I just stated Kane was rightly assessed a penalty for.

If intent to annoy is the same as intent to injure, throw the book at Kane, too. Or maybe they did, because Kane got a misconduct for getting jumped by 4 players tonight.

 

[HanSolo]

To be honest I think Edmonton can absorb a Nurse loss more easily than Vegas can lose Pietrangelo for potentially the rest of the series. We’ve got Ekholm to lean on and Kulak’s been playing very well.

Meanwhile Petro and Theodore were awful tonight but we can't afford to not have one of them next game. You'd think the guy who captained a team to a cup would show a little more restraint before doing something that might get him suspended.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Going after someone’s head is far worse than wrists, Kane is just lucky he didn’t connect as good on the cross check.

Both travelled with intent due to frustration, one just happened to connect more than the other

Okay man. We'll see what happens. We already know I was right with the Kane explanation. Let's see what happens to Petro.

Too many people on here don't want to learn, they just want to be right. You'll soon achieve neither.

 

[logan5]

There's no such suspension. Punishment is always immediate.

Then no suspension. Not severe enough to lose a play-off game.

 

[Mickey Redmond]

Series has been based so far

 

[HanSolo]

Its sad that you might be right, but typically things like that with injury, especially on stars get lengthy suspensions. Especially when the intent is so blatantly obvious. Some guys hide their dirty plays a bit better to make intent not so obvious. Pietro didn't hide anything there, in fact he actually left the play to seek out Drai. Not to compare it to Bertuzzi's play because obviously they're drastically different, but it had the same type of obvious targeting of a player.

Yeah I mean you might catch me on the bias train if there's more of a gray area. There was no gray area here. Stupid and dangerous.

 

[McFlyingV]

Then no suspension. Not severe enough to lose a play-off game.

It 100% was.

 

[State of Hockey]

Kane’s play in game 3 was dumb. Petro’s play in this game was malicious.

No, both were malicious. One can debate the levels of maliciousness, but both had nothing to do with a hockey play.

You can bet the lack of proper discipline to Kane was a factor in Petro losing it against Draisaitl. The overall officiating is the larger issue here.

 

[Three On Zero]

Okay man. We'll see what happens. We already know I was right with the Kane explanation. Let's see what happens to Petro.

Too many people on here don't want to learn, they just want to be right. You'll soon achieve neither.

What are you even going on about? I think everyone agrees it’s going to be a suspension

You can't unring the bell on the lack of discipline to Kane. As a team leader Pietrangelo needs to get his emotions in check and lead by example. Not take vigilante justice in his own hands.

 

[iCanada]

He went for the stick and missed. I don't think there was intent.

Players usually skate 100ft then wind their stick over their head to slash sticks, totally.

I know you're a Calgary fan, but just go to bed man, what a terrible take.

 

[logan5]

Has there been a suspension for a slash so far this play off?

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Pie is probably hoping he gets a couple games. His actions are a result of ptsd from the mugging he took tonight. I hope the league doesn’t suspend him so the boys can keep drilling him every chance they get in the back half of this series.

 

[Three On Zero]

The fact we’ve had 4 blowouts coupled with some terrible reffing. You just knew eventually this was going to happen

 

[Porkleaker]

Series is tied 2-2, let's not get too cocky.

 

[syz]

Regretting with each passing game that the Oilers' coach vetoed a trade for Gudas.

 

[snag]

Then no suspension. Not severe enough to lose a play-off game.

Oh so keep doing it until there is an injury....yeah, totally a DPOS m.o.

Ok. Well Kane’s play was in a close game in the first period. It was dumb and could have cost his team. Petro’s was very clearly frustration at the end of a blowout. If they wanted to call a minor of Kane for boarding then I would have been ok with it, but some of the responsibility of the result of that play falls on Petro and his decision to stop abruptly with a checker right on him. It was a bang bang play.

Correct, but we're dealing with humans here, and sometime they don't control those emotions. That's why we have officials, but they are fanning the flames. Although I'm always somewhat surprised to see a player snap like that, it's not shocking since that bomb was being heated. It felt like a matter of when, not if.

 

[Play]

Has there been a suspension for a slash so far this play off?

No.

Next question.

 

[syz]

I would absolutely give Kane more benefit of the doubt than Pietrangelo here. Kane's plan was to skate through Pietrangelo and he turned. Probably still a penalty but it's not on the same level as "I am going to ignore the puck and two-hand slash Leon Draisaitl in the wrist from orbit."

 

[McFlash97]

No, both were malicious. One can debate the levels of maliciousness, but both had nothing to do with a hockey play.

When you start comparing an overhead 2 handed malicious slash and the intent to injure to the games best player in the playoffs to Kanes penalty...you start to lose credibility real fast.

Watch hockey much ?

 

[HanSolo]

Not this necessarily. I'm just hoping Vegas can compose themselves and loon at game 5 like a blank slate and a new chance to outwork Edmonton. But if a couple goals can completely throw them off their game like this I'm sure a Petro suspension will f*** with their heads.

Both these teams are high strung and get far too emotional and lose control. It’s honestly been a crazy series so far

I can see both teams getting a talking to before game 5 and it being a no bullshit allowed game
