Soft … wow grab on to an excuse hard. How about should never let it get to OT with conviction .. thought Connor was gonna cry
The NFL and NHL both admit that they rig games "for competitive balance / entertainment purposes". Why are people still surprised when a rigged game is rigged?
Connor wants out, Haha. Maybe go to Toronto.
Its not the just the Oilers, across the teams calls are inconsistent anyone no matter the team can see that
My thing is it was definitely a high stick no debate but the Oilers need to stop giving up dumb penalties. Sole reason they lost both games. With all that being said the Refs need to do better not only for this series but for all of them.
Didn’t realize the oilers consist of McDavid and no one else
The NHL is a stickler for the details and getting the calls right, that's why Makar's goal last year according to the rule books is onside. Even though his lack of possession is literally between stickhandles that allows his teammate to tag back on. Then this year there is a missed stoppage in OT, and the Oil get burned on a non call. There is no angle that show space between the puck and the high stick, because the puck touched his stick. The NHL gets the details right last year and it's a call against the Oilers. The NHL get the details wrong this year and it's a call against the Oilers. That's the frustrating part.
The refs suck! Big time. These refs have been really bad all season and not just in hockey. 🤣
Oilers fans complaining about the Reffing is like calling a Kettle black. For years in Edmonton specifically they always get third period powerplays in there home rink. To see them finally come out on the worse end of a powerplay is just KARMA. Mcdavid in particular 71 power play points just under half his point this year.
To me it looks pretty obvious it touches his stick. Beyond that, the league is honestly garbage for officiating. The worst in professional sports. You think Oilers fans are the only ones who chant "Refs You Suck"? and the league still has its blinders on thinking that 3 guys dodging pucks and bodies on a surface of ice will have enough vision to adequately officiate this game. The game has changed so much in its 100 years, but the officiating has not changed much. A series can still be won or lost on the back of a bad or missed call. This is undeniable. And its way overdue for them to decide once and for all: Do they want actual fairness in the game? Do the rules actually matter all the time, or not?
Hated that call on draisaitl for his little love tap .. ffs it's hockey we're playing here! At least leah hextall wasn't involved in commentary …
Oilers suffer some bad calls, but that is not why they are losing. Yes they got somehat shafted in game 3, but taking needless stupid penaltys over and over is killing them, along with the fact that LA just capitalizes on Oiler miscues to often for the Oil to recover from. LA's Goaly has been better. LA's D has been better. LA's offence is obviously more then keeping up. Grow up real fast Oilers or it's Golfing time.
Cry baby cry
The refs are on the take, betting is rampant and they are orchestrating the outcome of the games.
obvious high stick. watch the replay lol. dont bet on this foolish sport. nhl dropping the ball at every turn
This is the reason I stopped placing bet in hockey! They need to fire all these refs or make them take after game interviews
hard to take the sport seriously..
Frustrating that Danault gets no penalty for pinning McDavid to the ice for 8-9 seconds, when late in the 3rd Kostin gets a penalty for pinning a Kings player to the ice for 4 seconds. The standard is set and then forgotten.
What was up with that player literally sitting on McDavid? How is that allowed?
Someone suggested the referees should be held accountable in the sense that they should be interviewed after games as well at least to give their opinions on plays and I 100% agree. The NHL is extremely corrupt just as badly or if not worse than FIFA. Everyone should look into their past scandals and controversies, and you will be absolutely shocked. Did you guys know that Rick Tocchet was charged with running an illegal gambling ring where Wayne Gretzky’s wife was placing bets on his behalf? 😳 and look at them now. Still doing just fine. Everything was swept under the rug. How corrupt
Wa wa wa call the fucking wambulance
No Canadian team will win the Stanley Cup again.. (unless someone takes charge who doesn't care about profits) Doesn't make the NHL enough money on merchandise sales. Around 300 million more people living in the United States.
Cry me a river princess McDaisy … thr queen of the NHL gets whatever he wants. Most overrated player in league history
As Mario Lemieux once said, the NHL is a garage league and a joke.
Goes both ways, stop crying.
The league needs to be investigated. It would not be surprising if the referees were being bribed. Apparently one of the refs who was working during the first oilers playoff game was investigated years prior. 🤔
Go tell Nurse to stand in front of a blackboard and write "I will play smart defense" a 1000x times!!!! Guy made bonehead plays!
Wow, this is so different being on this side of things for once. So used to watching all the chippy plays of stick work after the whistle, continually poking the goalie even though he has it, ramming the goalie. Like the usual Kane noticed Doughty just throwing his arm out and decides enraged to roll him into the boards all the while pointing out why he did and telling the ref to shut the F up cause doesn't know what he's talking about. And it actually got called and all their little ticky tack things they do are up to. I kind of feel bad but usually they don't.
That being said, Kings stop being frickin ballerinas out there. Both embarrassing as a team and for the sport. Better get your crap together cause all this may change and full strength play you shouldn't even be in the playoffs. Stop waiting for Fiala to get back to squeak you by. Smh unbelievable.
Wow it’s amazing all these former players that the league tries to make into referees instead of, you know, getting referees who have worked games their entire lives, are absolutely horrible
Oilers are choking, 1st round exist coming up.
Lol…keep worrying about the refs jesus….not the 2 goal leads your team gives up…
Maybe McDavid Hyman Nuge Kane Yamamoto should score 5v5
Nurse? You're paid 9.25m a year to be a difference maker.
As bad as that call was, the unsportsmanlike on Draisaitl was far more disgusting, Doughty does worse on every single shift.
Wah Wah Wah Wah 😂
Let’s go oilers!!!let’s go!!!
I will use a Donald Trump comment. The nhl dont bring there best to refs the playoffs they bring cheats, crooks, and cheaters.
Well, one of the easy standards that even a five year old should be able to remember is don’t take a swing at another player (who’s just skating away and not engaging anyone) after your own team scores a goal.
Yeah we know. Money drives the betting. It sucks. Best part is oilers win 3 in a row and put all this bullshit to rest.
Leon got 2 minutes for slashing the ice … if you tell me there no bias… go F yerself
It's funny to hear play by play guys say in the second obviously the refs are letting things go and just letting them play, after some blatant non calls then suddenly in 3rd and OT its pull out the whistles on soft calls. There's no consistency. And frankly, uneven distribution. Though many of the oilers penalties they earned and would be penalties every time. Some aren't. And some blatant penalties by the kings aren't getting called. After 3 games it certainly feels like a pattern that the refs are trying to determine the outcome of this series.
So how does drysac think it is ok to whack Kings players on legs with stick, it is simple assault, and the refs did not make the call on high stick it was toronto …. maybe oil should stop hitting guys on head with stick, stop tripping and stop falling on sticks and just play hockey if they are so good, Kings doing the ropadope 5v5 and scoring their own when they get the chance, the oil? they whine and whine and whine and take idiot penalties and then whine some more…..
Geez, pathetic whining like little children.
Oilers got screwed by the refs and the NHL
Leafs fan here. These refs this entire playoffs, including situation room reviews, AND department of player safety are all so inconsistent it feels like we have a sport that isn’t finished being made yet. Embarrassing when you invite people who don’t play hockey to the viewing party and they’re all saying the same shit about it and you can’t even defend it lol
