Refs aren’t going to be consistent, they showed that right from game 1. Oilers can either adjust, or keep doing what their doing and hope they feel good about themselves for being “right” instead of being winners.
The refs are garbage, the call on Drai was a joke, as was the Ekholm cross check, and the dozens of missed calls against the kings, and that was 100% a high stick.
That said, the only consistent thing about them has been the inconsistency. Stop giving them the opportunity to call anything. I knew Kostin was getting a penalty as soon as we saw him staying down. The refs were absolutely begging for an oilers to give them a reason to make a call, and Kostin obliged.
It’s frustrating to think they basically have to sit and take it after every collision, scrum, and whistle, but they need to play like absolutely nothing is going to change how these refs are calling these games. Moral victories are for losers, and this team is way too f***ing far into the McDrai area to still be losers.
