Nikita Kucherov is the clear favorite for the Art Ross Trophy

MacKinnon gifted his points tonight by the zebras



He wasn't doing much until he blatantly embellished a hooking call which gave them a 5 on 3. Then Canucks gift Avs a powerplay with 7 seconds left on an unforced clear over the glass.

Damn. REFALANCHE.

Big game by McDavid but he still only manages to make up a single point on Big Mac.

Wait, so powerplay points don't count now that it's not McDavid scoring them? Or did you also think McDavid was 'gifted' 71 of them last year as well.

 

[Video Nasty]

That OT goal was off of Nichushkin's face so that probably turns into an assist. Still a big night to pull the Avs back from down 3-0.

Just saw. Easily.

I think you know perfectly well that it was a tongue in cheek comment made due to people trying to diminish a 153 point campaign by McDavid.

I think the refs gave the Avs a free 5 on 3... that is what I am saying.

It was a clear stick on the hands at least.

I don't keep up to date with all of the individual arguments posters are having with each others and it didn't really sound like an off the cuff comment, but if so fair enough.

This your boy?

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Hopefully we can get an injury update on MacKinnon, wouldn't want tonight incident to wreck his Hart chances.

Wow, I just can't believe the refs fell for that. Such an egregious embellishment, arm-flinging and all.

Hopefully he survives and they don't have to amputate.

*Canucks player commits brutal mistake which automatically results in a penalty with basically 0 grey area to give avs a PP right before OT*

"The refs gave him his pts!!!!"

Looks like a clear penalty to me. Stick in the hands gets called almost automatically.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Seeing Canucks and Oilers fans constantly whine about obvious penalties will never not be funny to me.

Come on now, don't be a shameless homer. That was Oscar-worthy from Mac.

Question: is it normal to stumble and almost fall from a hockey stick hovering near your glove?

I'm not sure what this has to do with it. It's a penalty pretty much every time. Looks like Nate sold it. Good for him.

the real question here is how will the scoring race be affected now that MacKinnon only has one hand?

 

[Ninety7]

Another 1 pt game for mcd. Barring injuries to both msck n kuch that's pretty much all she wrote. He should at least finish third in scoring. At 27 would look very bad if he failed to do so

Lookin like a fool right about now arent we

 

[Felidae]

Come on kucherov.. pick it back up. He's the underdog in this race so hoping he pulls through.

After around 6 years of having the best penalty differential in the NHL Avs fans are never allowed to complain about officiating again.

They think the world owes them powerplays at this point.

Gosh, hope he's knee is okay.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

How’d a topic in the art Ross turn into selke

not sure why even Matthews is part of the conversation. he's pretty far away from taking the lead in points
pretty sure Matthews is like 30+ points back of Kuch

 

[Hasbro]

Possible double MVP in Denver this year.

So you're implying the league is intentionally giving the Avs more Powerplay because.....??

With McDavid being the leader in penalties drawn you'd imagine an Oilers fan would know if you play fast and possess the puck a lot, you're bound to draw more penalties then you take but I guess not.

It’s kinda weak but if you put your stick on the hands of one of the league’s superstars, there’s a decent chance you’re getting called for something.

It’s like complaining about roughing the passer in the NFL. We know how the refs are going to call it so better to err on the side of caution rather than complain about what will obviously result.
