Yeah, I could do without the replays of the SC winning goal being a routine rush and Skinner just completely botching it being the cup winning goal. sigh, double sigh. FF and we still have the same guy in net. Been a cold hard reminder of what shoudn't be.

I'm watching the Florida broadcast which is arguably better than the Prime telecast and intermission. Changed the channel as it were. f*** prime. I'm not even gonna stream you. haha
Skinner is not why we lost but yeah Floridas winning goal should have been stopped

I disagree. I don't want an Boston or Avalanche type of broadcast team. They are the dumb type of fanboys.

Bob will give the Oilers shit. He gets mad at the team when they are doing things wrong and repeating the same mistakes over and over.

I listen to him also and I appreciate by partisan commenting. I appreciate him complimenting Makar or Barkov on a great play as much when he does any Oiler

I even more so appreciate when he calls a penalty correctly, a bad hit/ fair hit or s dumb play....something fans rarely if at all do 90% of the time

Would be interesting to see his calls against Kane, Reeves etc in the past. If there’s a pattern, I’m buying your buddy’s word.

His reaction to Nurse looked ridiculously over the top.

I imagine if anything like that is tracked you probably won’t find it.

Last thing the NHL wants is fans looking at something that may imply bias

Islands in the stream.
NHL has made its rule book so complex that it comes out with erratic, subjective refereeing standards that are all over the play... game to game but more scary is within a game itself. The whole kicked in vs good goal is an exercise in NHL Magic Eight Ball random decision making.

I don't get into the weeds with refereeing bashing or conspiracy stuff. But honestly the ref can't call an extra two minutes on that Nurse call. Incredibly soft that influences the play in a tightly contested game.
18K people in a home crowd paying dearly to see a sport and he official just all about "this is all about me, f*** darnell Nurse and f*** the Oilers"

That call is symbolic of the NHL treatment of Canadian clubs. Just trolling us.

I can’t remember an unsportsmanlike ever, ever getting called this early in a game.

For refs that aren’t afflicted by narcissistic little man syndrome, usually it takes sustained chirping and a warning before they call it. When you’re Kelly Sutherland you have to try hard to be the big man though.

Whatever Nurse said to him better have been really bad. It wasn’t though.
Ridiculous call. Direct influence on the game.

I grew up in the age of "Have another donut you fat f***" era of ref abuse. Don't want to go back to that but this was a really shitty unnecessary call. I don't care what Nurse said, warm him and skate away. Don't step into influencing a big game of two elite teams with Cup Final history.

I swear the games I know I am going to miss or I am non-chalant about (miss a bunch of periods, etc), we are playing well.

When I think about the game coming up all day, I feel like I am always let down lol

Yeah. This is a finals rematch and people in Canada pay a lot of $$. You cannot influence a game like that.

The sound is glitchy, the commercials are twice as loud as the play and the analysts are boring and out of touch with the Oilers. What else could you ask for.
