Pre-Game Talk: Edmonton vs Vegas

[Bring Back Bucky]

No suspension for Roy, lmao

Yeah three f***ing games for McDavid. I know this is playoffs but what a travesty. How many games would that be if it was Kane?

Shocking. Blatant cross checks to the mouth are clearly what the league is now promoting. Zero chance he was getting suspended when everyone in the Vegas organization whined like a baby last night. That team wouldn’t even make the playoffs if they had our usual officiating every game, it would break them after the second game of the season.

DOPS are corrupt

More than this I think if Arvy had been called for the penalty and Vegas had scored to tie the series, they probably give Roy a game.

It’s insane to make decisions about player safety like that. It shouldn’t be about “making the series whole.” Punishment should be punishment, end of story.

NHL continues to be a laughing stock.

 

[DrDrai]

That department needs to be overhauled, regardless of team affiliation, that is wrong on so many levels.

Being assessed a 5 minute major and game misconduct shouldn’t factor into anything.

That’s a minimum 2-3 games in the playoffs, it didn’t even ride up a shoulder.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Sounds like mid-round 3 at the earliest. If the Oilers can hang on till his return...

He will get in once this winning streak ends. (If it ends)

Not a bad reserve player to have.

Gregor is th biggest idiot in this market.

 

[syz]

Roy's gonna score at least twice in game 3.

 

[ManOfSteelI]

Roy is a net negative, we should be happy that they'll still have him in the lineup.

 

[Niedermayor]

Come in peace please, what happened to my Skinner(Jeff, not Stuart) boy? why your guys sat him out entire playoffs series?

47

Never seen that before because it never happened either before or this time.

There’s a reason you haven’t seen it before you idiot. It’s not a thing.

It seems that Knoblach is not really a fan. He actually played fairly well teh last half of the year and on whole produced for the minutes and money he was given. The problem though is that with the addition of Kane and Frederic the forward group is very crowded.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

How predictable

 

[Fourier]

The bigger loss for them would be McNabb. Has there been any word on him. It would not surprise me if he plays even if there is a shoulder separation. But such injuries really reduce the effectiveness of guys like McNabb who play a physical game. If he dresses the Oilers should test him for sure.

 

[soothsayer]

I hope McNabb is out for the series. That pos has been trying to injury players since he was in juniors.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Big game tomorrow night.

First 2-0 series lead we've had since the Anaheim debacle IIRC. Home crowd will be a big boost, but the Knights will be desperate to take the fans out of it early.

Show up, hit hard, play smart - and can we please win and not trail in a game for a change?

 

[McHelpus]

Just beat Vegas. Don't try to get into the game within the game against these cheaters.

 

[syz]

Coach isn't the biggest fan, had a bad game against LA so he was the one to come out when Kane came back. Rest of the forwards are playing well enough to not change anything.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

I don't understand why we can't switch Kulak and Nurse for pairings.

Nurse-Bouchard has been a disaster defensively and Kulak is the closest thing we have to Ekholm stylistically.

It’s mind blowing I don’t understand knobs

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

lol I like how the media… including the Edmonton guys are now making such a big deal over the missed call. When it’s an egregious missed call that screws the Oilers, it’s “losers blame the refs.”

 

[94 Oil Drops]

I hope McNabb is out for the series. That pos has been trying to injury players since he was in juniors.

I'd love McNabb if he played for the Oilers. Could do without him the rest of this series.
