That was... something

 

[BertCorbeau]

Jesus what a weak playoff penalty that was.. McDavid gets different treatment

Must be nice to get PP's in the playoffs with calls like that when your PP is so lethal.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

gotta give credit to this bouchard kid.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Edmonton gets away with 5 cross checks to the back of Theodore and he softly spears the guy, who goes down and dress a penalty

Edmonton scores right away.

 

[IPS]

So Florida plays us and basically gets away with murder every shift.

Watching the Edmonton / Vegas series and they're getting called for slashes that don't even touch the hands.

How does anyone take this league seriously

 

[wingman75]

Why is every other series blowout after blowout, back and forth and we are watching the Leafs and Panthers try to squeeze water out of the puck.

Makes me feel like if the Leafs can win, with our ability to play D, they could be the last standing.. if only the Leafs realized this too.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Too many blowouts this year.

I want wars dammit!

Refs giving the Oilers the opportunity to dominate this game and they’ve ran with it

Always mute those.

Wow Oilers up 3-0 and another PP.

Oilers feeling it and Knights seem out of it. Knights were gifted a PP 24 seconds into the first and did nothing.

 

[raydizzle]

It's just blowouts in every single series... except ours lol.

 

[ULF_55]

Desharnaise the Oilers Holl.

 

[3blizzard4]

When Oilers are winning in a game, its pond hockey time for McDavid.

Knights with 3 PP's this second period and nothing to show for it.

 

[saffronleaf]

maybe the oilers will blow it in the third that'd be nice

 

[3blizzard4]

maybe the oilers will blow it in the third that'd be nice

Wouldn't that make for a fun night lol

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

This series makes no sense. How do you go from domination one game to pure trash the next? And vice versa lol

If they're gonna trade games like this, then Vegas in 7!

 

[3blizzard4]

HAHAHA Urkel is a Oilers fan!

 

[notDatsyuk]

Weird the games this round. Not just blowouts, but flip-flop blowouts:

Carolina/Jersey: 5-1, 6-1, 4-8, 6-1

Dallas/Seattle: 4-5, 4-2, 2-7, 6-3

Edmonton/Vegas: 4-6, 5-1, 1-5, and now 4-0 after two.

And it's not like they have been close games with a couple of EN to pad - a lot of big leads after one period.

By contrast our series has been tight:

Florida/Toronto: 4-2, 3-2, 3-2(OT) 1-2

Pittsburgh Penguins will hire both President of Hockey Ops and GM

Ron Hextall and Brian Burke may have flamed out in Pittsburgh, but that will not stop the Penguins to continue...

www.dailyfaceoff.com

Tyler Yaremchuk: Let’s head over to Pittsburgh. There’s some talk that maybe they will structure this front office in a non-traditional way, and there has been some debate over what they could do. What are you hearing on the Penguins?

Frank Seravalli: I’m told that the Penguins will go with the same exact structure they had previously. That was the debate: do you just go with one overarching person after having both Brian Burke and Ron Hextall as president of hockey ops and general manager? It appears that they’re going to stick with that formula moving forward.

The Penguins will hire a president and a general manager; they’re going to be two separate positions. On top of that, I believe the Penguins, who have been very quiet throughout this process, are nearing the end of their first round of interviews.

I’m going to throw a list of some of the names that have been in the mix. Some of these candidates are for GM, others are for president of hockey operations, so they are speaking to quite a long list of people. Those include: Marc Bergevin, former GM of the Montreal Canadiens, Jason Botterill, current assistant GM for the Seattle Kraken, John Chayka who is also in the Flyers’ search, Mathieu Darche from the Tampa Bay Lightning, and one other name in the mix is Ryan Martin, assistant GM for the New York Rangers.

Those are some of the people I have heard are in the mix. That’s not an exhaustive list by any means, but just gives some insight into what they’re thinking and some of the names that have popped up.

im not watching the oil knight game just game cast...... wtf is going on there?

anyone got highlights of the incidents nhl highlight vids always cut that stuff out.

 

[Zybalto]

I wonder what is going to happen with the Pietro 2 handed axe slash.

Its growing more amusing that this play stands as 3 times worse than anything else in the playoffs so far for a guy with no suspension history:

The more you look at the penalties and suspensions this playoffs (and even over thr past few playoffs) the more baffling the suspensions for Kadrix2 and Clifford become. Dont get me wrong, they arent clean but most didnt cause injury or missed games. Most have a comparable to this playoff that went uncalled or not suspended

I do think Buntings high hit causing a concussion is different but
