Post-Game Talk: Poor discipline and poor reffing is a bad combination



There is only one answer to the question ‘How can you watch that video for 7 minutes and still not see it was touched by a high stick’. We all know what the answer is. Boys need to take the us against the world approach next game. They know the league is against them and will do everything to screw them over, so we’ll see what this team is made of next game. And not shitting on Stu, but it’s time he needs to be better than average.
 
The bottom line is that reffing aside, Korpisalo has been great for them. How many times has he been bumped into, screened, etc.? I'm not saying to run him, but we are not getting into his grill and making his life miserable. Kane and Hyman in particular need to be doing this as well as Bjugstad and Kostin in the bottom 6.

Hate to say it but goaltending has been yhe difference so far in the series. Skinner has been decent but Korpisalo has been "playoff good". You cant convince me that we're down in the series if the goalies were swapped for each other.
 
Physics has been altered in CRYTO.COM arena that allows a puck travelling forwards to suddenly stop and go backwards without having it's course altered. Blows my mind tbh.


Agreed ,we can easily rattle off 3 straight dubs
I blame Crypto currency too. ;) What a gawd awful naming rights for an Arena. In the land of Bruce Mcnall and endless schemes and dreams.

Screw all the gambling adds too. Its just nonstop nauseating.

Now heres the deal. Gambling was tolerated in the past, even percieved as an industry because Casinos created employment, income for workers, it created in person feet and vibrancy in facilities or areas. It created draw, it created holiday destinations and such. Gambling USED to result in on the ground financial impact for cities, communities.

Online gambling does NONE of that. It just makes some people rich and countless people poor. It creates no benefit. It should not be allowed and it should not be on our airways.

I encourage anybody to complain about gambling adds on TV. This online gambling serves no benefit and should be outed.
 
If this league had any integrity the Kings would have had at least one penalty for diving. If.
If the league had any integrity after 5 minutes of thumb uo their asses reviewing they'd say man, this is to close to call so instead of a hames final score being dependant on a controversial judgejent call, face off at center ice, kings have a minute of po left. Play on.

It would make a difference if the guys in stripes weren’t being paid out to call against us.

Honestly it’s time to get medieval. Eye for an eye.
 
wakes up--sees oilers lost, checks the board, Refs fault again and not the teams--turns off HFboards due to the usually rants.

If so many of you are sure the NHL is against the Oilers, it is time so sue the NHL for rigging games.
Do everyone else a favour and go back to sleep and deleting your account too. Imagine being on this high horse despite not watching the game.

Clown ass post.
 
Is there a YouTube channel that focuses on garbage nhl idiot refs? We know they’re not that stupid though, it’s corrupt cheating bitchass loser refs.

2017 playoffs, our series against Winnipeg, this series, all complete trash officiating to the point where it just has to be rigged.

I might have to start skipping games. It doesn’t even get me mad during the game, it just sucks the fun out, I just stop caring because it’s bullshit and not true competition like the STANLEY CUP playoffs should be. No competitive integrity in this f***ing league.
 
I see this site is back to refreshing the page just as you’re about to hit enter after typing out a fifteen minute post, again.

Not something I needed to improve my mood tonight.

Reffing has been ass but honestly straight up we need to stop putting ourselves in positions where it affects us this badly.

Hold a Goddamn lead

100% agreed they are not getting in his paint enough. And don't tell me these cream puff Kings can keep them out of the crease. Kane and Hyman are replacement level wingers this series, add it to the pile of "this team looks f***ed for reasons that are their fault and many others that are not"

The games are unwatchable. Between the horrible officiating, the nauseating board ads and the non stop gambling ads, it’s honestly more of a duty as an Oilers fan than to watch the games than something that is actually entertaining, if you take our insane passion for the team out of it. No one without a vested interest in this would ever just randomly watch it.
 
Oddsmakers still have us as slight favourites to win the series for what it’s worth.
If any team could do it , it'd be these Oilers. Just need some of our forwards to start clicking and to try and stay out of the penalty box. Balanced, conpetent reffing could do wonders for our chances . Kane, Hyman, Nuge have to produce going forward. That's not just seconday scoring, that's primary scoring that's absent. I'll give some credit to the King's goalie but there have been many chances that should have been capitalized on.
 
I HATE when people are mad about something and then the "morally superior" guy has to come in and give his opinion.

He is superior to us. Trust me.

Eventually the "coincidence" of a huge spike in controversial officiating/video reviews, the expansion into Las Vegas, and the massive 180 turn to aggressively promote betting on the product all happening at the same time will be seen for what it is.

We're unfortunately still in the stage of "but I love this game too much to stop watching" for most of the diehards (like those posting here). They'll leverage shitting on loyal fanbases to grow fairweather ones as long as they can.

Thing is, that poster does that shit on a regular basis. Anytime the officiating is hot garbage, he always has to twist it around like it’s the oilers fault.

Imagine having the nerve to act like a condescending windbag towards an already infuriated fanbase. f***ing clown he is.

Will Feral (see what I did there) disagrees. Sorry, sorry. heh

Hockey will always be lesser in LA. As much as the NHL tries.

That said at one time Basketball wasn't the big boy on the block either and that changed with the Lakers. The NHL is forever trying to capture that and it was the scheme with Gretz. It happened for a bit, and then fizzled out. Its ironic perhaps that the SC champ LA Kings version were far lesser known in LA probably then the Gretzky/Nichols etc incarnation.
