Oh, OUCH.

Yeah the leaf game thread was pretty funny started with everybody condemning them as garbage because they blew the lead and then wait, hold on now, that's offside, then praise for klingberg then Happy Times again

 

[nucks88]

Once again I hate the Oilers even more because they made me happy for a Leafs win……

 

[Sonny A]

I wasn't watching but Oilers clawed their way back from 3-0 against Leafs, then their 4-3 game tying goal was disallowed?

What happened there?

Offside

 

[tantalum]

Klingberg put them offside goal called back

Sort of. The leaf player stepped up on McDavid causing McDavid to move along the line instead of going straight in as would have been originally anticipated. Yes Kilngberg was offside but I think it was more the play by the leaf that forced the offside.

Klingberg now is a carbon copy of Heinen but on D. Just the dumbest guy on the ice

Things to note on the outta score board tonight:

-Ovechkin scores again. 18 away
-McWhiner no points in a disappointing loss against the Leafs
-Ottawa shutout Minny 6-0 and now in a playoff spot
-Boston wins and still out of a playoffspot
-JT Miller two goals in a 6-3 loss
-Heinen, Desharnais and Beauvillier a combined ZERO points in their 3-0 win against Nashville
-Rantanen shits the bed for the Canes against Los Angeles

 

[credulous]

different league but the mavs just traded doncic to the lakers for an over the hill anthony davis and their gm might have ursurped benning as the stupidest executive in sports. his justification for the trade is that "defense wins championships"

Insane the Lakers just got a gem handed to them, heck they can trade Lebron to set themselves up for the next 10 years.

Alex Lafrenière is another player that has dogged it since signing his new contract.

Guy was on a heater earlier in the season but has became sorta ass.

Don’t worry, Miller will be on him soon enough

Dallas GM needs to be fired and banned from the NBA forever

This is the same guy that f***ed up the pitch to Steph Curry leading him to turn to under armor.

Chances are it’s one of the reasons the Rags traded for Millsy.

Ryan Hartman during a face-off basically ignored the puck, grabbed Tim Stutzle by the back of the neck, then slammed the latter's face into the ice. Stutzle ended up with a bloody forehead, and Hartman got a match penalty due to "intent to injure". I was pretty shocked because I myself have not seen "intent to injure" to be called out by the refs on open ice. Maybe there's another angle to this but, in my opinion this is some low blow bush league crap. Would be surprised if players safety didn't follow up, especially consider Hartman's well-established reputation of being a dirty player.

As for Oilers/Leafs game, when Leafs led 3-0, I thought well now it's time for the Oilers come back. And boy did they come close, had it not been the offside AND Woll's heroics near the end Oilers could very well ride out with a 5-4 OT win. That offside call, while being correct, still feels very...iffy. Of course, they probably would not be in this kind of position if Stuart Skinner wasn't so terrible in that game.

If they hang on to top seed, the 1v8 between Washington and whoever the f*** is going to be an absolute banger of a series. Hopefully it happens.

Offside

Unfortunately for the Oilers, they were playing the Leafs & not the Canucks (with Kelly Sutherland as one of the on ice refs). Then it would've been declared a legit goal.

Going to be easy to cheer for whoever the Crapitals play against (in light of recent events south of the border as well as the antics of Ovechkin who is the number one fan of 'you know who' )
