That’s how you lose hockey games. Dominate a period and end up tied.

the Oil's board going nuts over the penalties lol

I mean, that's 2 VERY obvious trips.. "but they never call it when it's McDavid"... yeesh

There’s a main board post with a chart from Reddit showing how over the last ten years almost every team in the league has had an even amount of Penalties called against them vs for them.

Almost every team is within a 1/1. When you factor in the PP percentage the less calls a team gets for the higher the PP percent.

The whole point is that the league referees call penalties to keep games competitive.

When Edmonton’s PP is 50 percent it just blatantly stands out in the Data set as an outlier and shows how the NHL officiates for parity.

I don’t blame oiler fans for being a little upset. However, if the NHL called every penalty the NHL would quickly be the NBA and I wouldn’t watch. So have to consider that as well.

Looked like a pretty normal collision away from the play to me

do they have a chart for the last 3 years? I'd love to see how lopsided it is in favor of the Refalanche.

Pretty f***ing weak play by Parayko

So far we're getting goalied Blues should have had at least 3 goals.

have to agree here. really had nothing to do with the play and contact looked accidental

nothing to see here

If I am Army, I am looking at how to move Scandella either during this season or the offseason. I never was a hater of his and thought he was just the new whipping boy for some people but hes become a big time liability back there.

I believe both San Jose and Colorado stood out as having more calls for than against let me see if I can find it.

 

[KCC]

It's EDM's 4th game in 6 nights. They will be lucky to get more than 1 tonight 5 on 5 unless they get a few PP chances I think.

oh i believe that. and before those 2, i'd put money on the hawks and pens being the top 2.

 

[Puck Luck]

The Oilers’ goalie has been phenomenal so far

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

missed the Scandella hit on McDavid. they just showed the replay.

is that REALLY what EDM fans were bitching about?? wow

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

a combination of lucky and good... and there's not a thing wrong with that.. unless you're shooting at him lol

The Oilers are the ultimate example of game management by officials

Stolen from reddit:

Guess Colorado is actual under but this data includes when they sucked.

Robert Thomas has a 63% face-off win%. The only other player with higher than 30% is Joshua who is at 50% with only 2 face-offs taken. RoR is at 25% and everyone else is at 0%.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Building off my last post. The only player Thomas DOESN'T have a 100% face-off win% against tonight is Connor McDavid. Where Thomas is 1 for 4. And I can't say I'm mad at him about that one bit.

I’m so excited that Thomas is becoming a face off guru I know advanced stats poo poo the metric but I would rather have the guy who can win on my team.

Hope ROR gets going tonight!

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

i think we got away with 1 there

 

[Linkens Mastery]

We 100% got away with that, should definitely have been tripping.

 

[Blueline2757]

Marco got away with one on McDavid
