GDT: WCSF GM05 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Thur. May 16th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | So Tight, Almost Like a Playoff Series

[Dust]

I mean c'mon, he's got the double leg kick and everything

Where's the puck, why even risk doing that? Quit trying to reward a stupid decision.

 

[thaman8765678]

Not even Ron Maclean could defend the refs.

That's when you know where we are at.

 

[Bizzare]

I mean c'mon, he's got the double leg kick and everything

Super man!

 

[JAK]

I mean c'mon, he's got the double leg kick and everything

This is so textbook diving that referees could use it to teach new referees on what not to call on McDavid.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I actually didn't realize McDavid dove and whined so much before this series.

 

[Hodgy]

How the f*** has no one called out McDavid on the broadcast for that massive f***ing dive. This shit is unbelievable. I’ve never seems such an obviously bias broadcast crew y willing to even question whether McDavid dived when it’s clear to everyone that he literally jumped off the ice and kicked his feet up. Pathetic play by McDavid but more pathetic silence by the whole broadcast team.

 

[vcanuck]

The grease oil needs the refs, Ian Cole and a 3rd string goaltender just to compete with the Canucks.

 

[jackjohnson]

Why didnt they explain the Petterson penalty?

Because its a rigged game for the Oilers. Tons of phantom calls for them and lots of non calls for us. Pretty pathetic.

Lol he and Draisatl have been top 5 divers in the NHL for years.

 

[Three On Zero]

Oilers look bad tonight. McDavid not having a very good game either. Oilers got a few favourable calls too

McDavid has been a ghost for 3 of the 4 games played, he tucks tail when the games get physical

 

[CpatainCanuck]

I mean c'mon, he's got the double leg kick and everything

Funny how McDavid is the best, most powerful skater in the world…except when it is convenient not to be.

 

[LTIR]

Text book interference... clear as day.. 2min penalty all the time. No where close to the puck

 

[Canucks LB]

Well, at least the series lived up to the hype lol

Still cracks me up at the Oilers actually thought it would be an easy one, against a rick tochett coach team

 

[Old Boys Club]

Lol he and Draisatl have been top 5 divers in the NHL for years.

You might as well become an Oilers fan, you're much more invested in them than the Flames.

 

[Three On Zero]

Where's the puck, why even risk doing that? Quit trying to reward a stupid decision.

So reward diving instead? Brilliant idea

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Lol he and Draisatl have been top 5 divers in the NHL for years.

Not true at all.

Just this series.

 

[jackjohnson]

Zaddy has hit him a few times so he is
playing scared now.

Joshua's reaction is pretty telling for how smart he thought it was afterward

Also yea, Mcdavid sold the f*** out of it.

 

[JAK]

It would be a sweep without Skinner!!!! PDO Frauds!!!!

 

[HugginThePost]

I mean c'mon, he's got the double leg kick and everything

Wow

Lol he and Draisatl have been top 5 divers in the NHL for years.

Yet somehow escape scrutiny…..

 

[eviohh26]

I've never seen a team embellish this much my entire life. And I was around for those Canuck years. It's really pathetic and pissing me right off.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Man, Keith Yandle was great to watch on the ice but he has the personality of a potato.

Biz makes a joke and asks Yandle if he's Wayne dressed as Yandle since they shared a similar opinion on something. Instead of just laughing Yandle just seriously looks at Biz and answers the question and says "No".

Not even laughing or even taking it as a rhetorical question, straight "No, I am not Wayne Gretzky dressed as Keith Yandle, in case you were actually wondering that was the case Paul Bissonnette".

 

[geebster]

If you told me the refs would give the Oilers half a dozen powerplays, multiple being dubious (diving...and a charging penalty where the charger didnt charge....?), I'd have said we were getting blown out. The PK has been excellent but man the refs are really trying to help the Oilers today.

 

[trilobyte]

Ron MacLean probably has a say on everything refereeing on the panel.

Ron MacLean spent many years being a referee (obviously not Major League), so I wouldn't expect him to be shy about opining on the penalty. He sure isn't shy with his opinon.

 

[Canucks LB]

Lmao
