[Three On Zero]

The refs are catching on to the Canucks diving ways. Clearly wasn't a high stick.

[Sergei Shirokov]

To be fair to McDavid, I don't think the refs are ever favorable to him, so he's probably due for a break.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Oilers fans think the refs favor Vancouver. Vancouver fans think the refs favor the Oilers. Oilers fans think the Vancouver players are whinny, Vancouver fans think the Oilers are whiny.

Let’s just see it for how it is, NHL reffing is pure trash and players have to yell at refs to get legit calls.

Stick riding up into his throat. Obvious dive.
Classic Oiler fans.

Thankfully the refs had better eyes than you in this situation!

Hronek's throat isn't behind the logo on his jersey.

Reffing isn’t THAT bad, but it’s obvious the game has outpaced the 2 ref formation. Far too fast paced for them now.

Eh it’s dumb. Super obvious penalties don’t get called on him. And then dumb ones get called or he gets away with shit.
The league just needs to call penalties and not manage.

When ever fan base thinks the reffing is against them it says something honestly. Obvious penalties get ignored for game management. Then they give makeup calls or purposely ignore shit to make up. It’s just, not predictable at all.

Surprised Hronek didn't get called for having his throat in McD's way

LOL.. that was perfect!

 

[Divine]

3-0 after 1
3-2 after 2

I think I've seen this game earlier today

Vancouver needs to try and not give the Oilers leading goalscorer a breakaway 30 seconds into the third period. It didn't work out so well for the Habs.

Alright, lets get this comeback over with

50/50 for reffing and fans not understanding the rules

A bit of that too. Theres also the whole refs are at ice level watching at real time and fans have a broader view and can watch slow mo replays.
Honestly they need an eye in the sky ref that can make calls.

They need something that isn’t a momentum killer, or add a 3rd ref. One for each zone and they rotate each period

Back to IR for Arvi

Canucks need to lose in OT, it’s the only way

 

[Czechboy]

That shift was great! Podz with some beauty skating

 

[RedRocking]

Been a little busy watching my Commies shock the world.

On Hockey Day in Canada - have the fans burned it all to the ground yet?

Canmore isnt Vancouver

 

[Three On Zero]

Ice in Vancouver is terrible.

 

[TMLeafer]

Nice burgeoning -5 today.

Woll, despite giving up 3, was the difference maker imo

 

[eviohh26]

Ice in Vancouver is terrible.

Been this way for a while.

 

[Stealth1616]

Why does Hughes keep flopping? Was under the impression he was a good skater

 

[Three On Zero]

Bouchard might be the easiest defenceman to get the puck from, he has zero situational awareness

Easy on the guy. It’s amazing he can even skate in a straight line with those cross eyes.

 

[Coffey]

Zero intensity. Zero urgency. Etc etc

Some regression was expected from the playoffs, but this is absurd.

Watch him turn it around again in the post season
