Faits saillants des matchs de la LNH | Oilers contre Jets, match 4 – 24 mai 2021
Kyle Connor a marqué lors de la troisième prolongation pour aider les Jets de Winnipeg à gagner 4-3 et à balayer les Oilers d’Edmonton des séries éliminatoires.
There were many surprising numbers from Winnipeg’s shocking sweep over Edmonton, but none more utterly outrageous than this one: Connor McDavid drew zero (0) penalties during the four-game series. Zero. Nada. None. Zilch. ZERO.
…
The funny thing is this isn’t new. This actually happened last year, too. Four games against Chicago in the play-in round, zero calls. That’s eight straight playoff or playoff-adjacent games where the referees watched McDavid battle through constant abuse and essentially said “suck it up.” This is, of course, The Playoffs, after all.
…
This past season McDavid took 1,182 shifts, drawing 29 penalties. That means that, based on the standard set for his play, McDavid had a 2.5 percent chance of drawing a penalty on any given shift this season. Already that seems ridiculously conservative, but again, that’s the standard. McDavid took 121 shifts in these playoffs over four games. Based on a normal distribution, the chances of drawing exactly zero penalties over a four-game series is just five percent. Not impossible, but highly unlikely that it happens by random chance. We can all use our eyes to see that “random chance” and “ignoring it” were the same thing in this series. McDavid had an eight percent chance of earning six or more calls over the series – which he had every single right to earn.
…
Combine both playoffs though and here’s what you get: A 0.9 percent chance that McDavid would earn zero penalties drawn over eight playoff games.
…
Referees don’t want to decide the game, but by not calling the rule book they do just that by allowing the team without the puck to bend the rules. It creates a different flow at five-on-five that caters to grinders over skill players, bringing the stars down a notch in the interest of fairness. I didn’t turn on the Jets-Oilers series to watch some random no-name defenceman repeatedly hang off McDavid because they couldn’t keep up. If a player can’t stop a player within the confines of the rules they should be penalized for it, not allowed to do it on every single shift because they know for a fact they won’t get called.
…
McDavid somehow drawing zero penalties in back-to-back postseasons should be the final straw. The league’s best and brightest player, its most marketable star, allowed to be manhandled against the rules every night and every shift, forced to fight through something he shouldn’t have to.
It won’t be as the league continues to willingly make its incompetence an annual headline rather than allow the best the sport has to offer the ability to thrive on the biggest stage. As it stands now, they’re being continuously hooked and hauled on their way to the spotlight.
Gigantic brain fart by McDoofus on the winning goal. He basically gave the puck to the Jet defenseman!!! Best player in the world? Are you kidding???? Six years in the NHL and the Oilslicks are no closer to a championship team then when they drafted McDoofus…
I like how some people are blaming Ethan Bear for the "poor" change but if McDavid rimmed the puck around the boards like he was supposed to instead of that limp wristed effort than the REAL Connor wouldn't have had a break away.

7:05 McDavid costs Oilers the game
Edmonton star player coughed up the puck ha ha
the announcers voice crack
The Canucks won more games since the playoffs started than the Oilers!
McRegularseason
Jets with the cross crease glitch goal

They should let everyone attend the games if they dress up as a beer can. I guess they let one guy in anyway.

mcdavid gave the win to the jets
It’s sad that Canada still has empty seats during the playoffs.
Remember that time when the Jets swept McDavid?
McDavid is the most overrated and selfish player. Terrible giveaways as per usual.
I feel so bad for the goalie
That pressure going into 3 overtime periods knowing one mistake will cost your team the series and playoff run
Maybe the oilers will start winning when mcdavid changes his number and stops disrespecting Smyth
Imagine being an Oilers fan staying up for the 3rd overtime only to get swept.
From Detroit: Go Jets vs Habs
Y’all roasting McDavid as if he’s not the best player in the world right now 😂
2:09 that’s like 8 cross checks and and interference from draisaitl
Darnell Nurse is a fraud hf he sucked this series
There were so many voice cracks in this series lol.
The amount of happiness I felt when that goal went in! Not even a jets fan haha
