Some of yall need to be less concerned about what is/isn't called and more concerned about your team only being able to score on the PP vs a 3rd string goalie

In game 2 the Oilers got away with a lot of cheap stuff and nasty stick infractions. Viscous spears, slashes, high sticks, slew foots, hits from behind.

Hughes got slew footed hard twice and both Pettersson & Hughes were hit hard into the boards from behind. Hughes got high sticked by McDavid that should’ve been a double minor (Van should be up 3-0).

The Oilers thought the Canucks would fold like a cheap suit after their brutal antics in game 2, but the Canucks came fighting back, the hits were 53-32 in favour of Vancouver in game 3.

Nurse, Carrick. Desharnais are all tough customers and the most likely to do something about it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Ekholm either.

If someone is gonna fight next game, don't let it be Ekholm. He is actually good.

Bingo.
I haven't talked about penalties or reffing once.

What I have complained about is Oilers goaltending, inability for the bottom 6 to do anything, the Worst-Feces pairing and 5v5 play.

This says it all Nucks fans.

Yeah but what does Mark Spector think?

 

[Walkingthroughforest]

The analysts who picked the oilers to win only watched highlights and read box scores. They were excellent at outscoring and overwhelming weaker opponents, but the moment they’re pressured defensively they have no answer. Outside of McDrai, the oilers are, and always have been, an absolute joke.

They feasted on non-playoff teams and barely kept their head above water against any club that scored 100 points this year.

LA had the defence but had no offence on the transition, which the Oilers were able to capitalise on. The Canucks on the other hand have the defensive strength to reasonably contain McDrai, as well as the rest of the offence, and their own offensive depth can easily tear apart the Oilers.

If Demko comes back this series, that’s the kiss of death for the Oilers.

Amazing, so much uproar over this. Barely heard a peep from Vancouver after Evander Kane intentionally kicked out Hughes’ leg from under him on a hit in game 2.

Says a lot…

 

[Video Nasty]

What the hell were you watching?

Something where Edmonton outshot Vancouver 36-7 after the opening period and hit as many posts as the Canucks had goals for the game.

That’s playoff hockey. Both teams are getting away with some cheap shots. If McDavid is going to slash a player after the game then he should expect a response. Just like any player.

There's a reason hit posts are not counted as shots on goal....they aren't shots on goal.....they may as well be a foot wide....

Thing is, we don't want Foegele suspended. He's a not so secret weapon for the Canucks. Amore appropriate penalty would be to force the Oilers to play him more.

Fair enough in that he hasn't been anything special for the Oilers, but it was strange at the time that he wasn't given a 10 since the refs called a bench minor for off ice interference on the play, which comes with an automatic misconduct.

The logical assumption is that they didn't know at the time who exactly commited the interference. The video is clear, so the penalty can be applied retroactively. Best to nip the participation from the bench in the scrums in the bud before things escalate.

Get back to us when the league expands the nets then

Friedman saying there is going to be a hearing...not sure if just telephone....I think he is going to be Rome'd....

You could have just said the Oilers missed the net and need to shoot better.

[Izzy Goodenough]

Cap circumvention penalty incoming?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

And of course nothing for McDavid who initiated it with the two handed slash.
Star players get a pass.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Still think it’s only a fine

 

[Nucker101]

Still think it’s only a fine

it’s McDavid, not Foegele. So I’ll guess 1 game.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Any word on a possible suspension for Foegele? He punched Zadorov from the bench while Zadorov was putting Kane into the bench. Interference from the bench is an automatic misconduct under rule 8.4.

Real punishment would be forcing them to play Foegele more

Oilers fans:

How about us Canucks posters only post 4 times for every 5 times your post so you feel it’s a fair exchange.

We will give your a Power Play on the forums too.

 

[Just Rude]

If the NHL goes for it, there's still hope for Skinner this series.

I did.

Got removed from the thread is more like it.

 

[canuckslover10]

he was going for his chest and then McDavid buckled and got him on the face its so obvious.
