LOLilers lost to the ducks. Even Crysaitls hattrick couldn’t help them.

Was it the ref's fault too?

Must have been.

McDavid isn't all four heads on the NHL Mt. Rushmore because of Bettman/palm trees/etc.

you need to ask?

Didn't have the Ducks scoring 5 straight vs the Oilers.

Neither did the refs.

it always is

They were 2/3 on the pp… only 3 pp’s? Definitely on the ref!

 

[Statto]

Interesting, looking at the Ducks/Oil game stats, I see that the NHL only records the double minor as a single pp. That’s completely wrong statistically as if you score in the first pp only that is chalked off and you get another go (unless I missed a rule change). So they need treating as separate pp opportunities.

I also think it's bonkers the way they treat 5-minute majors. If you score multiple powerplay goals during a major, they assign "multiple penalties".

So if you only get a major powerplay and score 2 goals, you don't go 2/1. You go 2/2.

It happens so rarely, and usually there are other powerplays that don't get scored on. But I know I've seen it during intermission reports.

The real question is did the Ducks celebrate properly on any of their goals?

 

[Herby]

I took my kid to see Ovechkin last night, I am appreciative towards my father for taking me to see the all-time greats in all the sports when I was growing up, so I'm trying to do the same. I thought the injury was going to kill his chances at the record this year, but now I think he is going to break the record this season and then retirement is always a possibility. He scored from Ovechkin's office, so she will be able to say she saw the greatest goal-scorer ever score a goal in person.

BTW, if Ovechkin were to maintain his current pace, he would break the record around 30 games from now, the Caps 30th game is in LA vs the Kings. 8 of the Caps final 12 games (where I think it's more realistically going to be broken) are going to be on the road, which kind of sucks, it was so memorable when Gretzky broke it at home.

See that’s wrong also. It should definitely be 2/1.

f***ing Amazon broadcast was clowning on Blake for that trade, as they should. I hope he gets shit for it forever.

Here;s another.. major reason we lost to the soiilers is our PP blows.. Vilardi is nails on the PP in front of the net - exactly what we needed.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

I hope he gets shit for it forever.

I don’t. I hope success in the next few years makes everyone forget what a dumbass trade that was. I guess we will see, but it’s weird that you would hope for the latter.

 

[Surf Nutz]

I don’t. I hope success in the next few years makes everyone forget what a dumbass trade that was. I guess we will see, but it’s weird that you would hope for the latter.

They are left blowers and that's what leaf blower do.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

 

[FrozenKing18]

Damn, imagine the Kings powerplay with Clarke getting the pucks through and Vilardi slurping up the pucks and putting em in the net.

.. but then again, i’m sure Kings will still do their tic tac passes until time runs out.

 

[johnjm22]

37 goal pace for Vilardi

He has 17 right now. Same as Kempe.
