No. The league will take care of it before FL does. You just can't have headhunting like that. It's bad for the sport.

Expect 1-2 games if not more. It's cheap. It's blatant. And it's in the 3rd while they were getting their asses handed to them for the 2nd game in a row. Shutout. They are going to come down hard. It'snot like the oilers were winning anyhow.

You have far more faith in the DOPS than every other NHL fan. Prepare to be let down.

Obviously I don't want McDavid injured, I'm not a psychopath, but that was so blatant by Drai that if doesn't get at least a game the Panthers WILL make this ugly. And they'll beat the f*** outta the Oilers so the league needs to act accordingly.

I'd normally agree with this, but there's the Campbell factor to consider.

Does "protecting their investment" trump nepotism? Tune in on the next episode of the NHL's Wheel of Justice.

Is Tkachuk gonna turn into a missile and dive at them or what

 

[josra33]

what's his injury?

Concussion protocol.

I agree. That's why Drai is going to get suspended. Otherwise, FL will take it up on themselves.

Easy call. 2 games. Done and done. He hasn't done anything anyhow. Reminded me of Kuch throwing a hissy when things don't go his way. Too bad. Oilers treading water right now.

No oiler wants to see Bennett fight Drai or McDavid...do they?

Second game in a row? Oilers dominated the Panthers worse in game 1 than the Panthers beat them tonight.

Concussion protocol.

so is he out for next game?

Kinda mean to suspend him the rest of the playoffs.

Injuries taking a toll now on the Oilers unfortunately. They had the easiest path to the cup final in NHL history and their luck is running out. Bouchard has come back down to earth. Their 32 streak of PK’s came to an end tonight, thank god.

Panthers are smart, they are intentionally dumping the puck in on Bouchard side when he’s on the ice.

 

[Fatass]

If you score one goal in 2 games you don’t win games.
We do know that.

Yup. If the Oiler top guys don’t produce on the pp they don’t do much and are usually minus players those games.

Cousins hasn’t been activated yet. Better believe he’ll get 4 minutes of ice time and a misconduct.

 

[fsanford]

In the series vs. NYR, the Panthers scored only 5 goals that weren't own goals, empty net goals, or wild unintentional bounces into the net. So far vs. Edmonton, they have already scored 5.

What lucky bounces were there tonight? Not the first 2. And at least 1 in game one was a clean point blank shot. I mean when you lead late in 3rd I would expect empty net so that is kind of a so what stat.

Funny thing about better teams when needed they make their own luck

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Concussion protocol.

That's speculation. There's no update except that he was not cleared to return to the game.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Yes, that's what I mean. They already have 5 goals this series on legit clean shots. Against the Rangers, they only had 5 the entire series.

The Rangers D is much better than the Oilers D. Could even say the same for Bostons and Tampas bluelines as well.

 

[josra33]

so is he out for next game?

It’s been like 2 hours. Games 3 days away

 

[JKG33]

The thing is, nobody remembers the teams that barely won, they just remember the teams that won, period. You just come across sounding like sour grapes bringing up games that were almost a month ago.

The thing is when someone constantly gets preferential treatment, even equal treatment can feel unfair.

The Oilers took advantage of some very favorable calls these playoffs. And now that the calls are regressing back to the mean, they're starting to get awfully flustered

 

[WetcoastOrca]

The Panthers experience is starting to show. Oilers getting rattled and playing undisciplined when the game was still within reach.

 

[fsanford]

You may have misinterpreted what I said, or I worded it in a confusing manner. Every goal the Panthers have scored this series (outside of the 2 empty net goals) have been clean, legit shots beating Skinner. Those were hard to come by for Florida against NYR.

Ahhh my bad.. thanks

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

Another oiler spanking, you love to see it.

 

[StreetHawk]

Been a saw off production wise from the top guys on each side. Florida’s depth guys doing the scoring. Carter V and Rodrigues. Where is the production from Kane, Fogele, Henrique, Etc?

 

[josra33]

What’s the deserve-o-meter say for this game?

 

[Dust]

hope so, but i've been reading a lot of different forums and your sentiment is not most common one.

If you see people wishing injury on players, or celebrating injury, report them. That crosses a line that shouldn't be crossed. I don't think that's allowed on the boards.

The mods have done a bang up job cleaning up the threads

 

[Barkkonen]

I bet he's back for Game 3

hope he is. So unnecessary hit by leon.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I bet he's back for Game 3

I’m sure that’s a big relief for everyone.
