Lots. Lots of offside challenges are way off side. Not 6 feet like Duchene but obviously offside


That's all there is to it.

Enforce the rule or remove it

Ok. So what do we do when the red blows a play dead by incorrectly calling offside?

Rule is a rule.

There is literally zero chance that Connor McDavid is going to lose a Game 7 Stanley Cup Final game. He will simply not allow that to happen, and luckily for the Oilers, that's enough.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Panthers fans will be much more devastated at a loss. Serious question, did anyone expect Oilers as a cup contender this year?

Oilers have a lot to be proud of regardless of outcome, but this was THE year for the Panthers, they'll never get a better chance than this.

Most people believed the oilers to be a cup contender in the summer. They had just lost two back to back years to the eventual cup champs. In November not a ****ing chance

One observation I’ve made is that Florida hasn’t had to face a speedy team. Tampa, Boston and NYrangers are all average to slow teams. Speed kills my friends, speed kills…

Skinner getting an assist tonight reminds me of how roloson would bat the puck down the ice in 06 lol

Rule is a rule.

There is no practical solution for that scenario.

I'm not sure if you're suggesting that we shouldn't improve some aspects of the game if we can't improve them all?

Rule is a rule.

Reviews are a safety net that allows the refs to let more plays continue without blowing them down.

We already heard how they shut down Kuch, Zibby, Panarin, Pasta, etc.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Oilers forcing game 7 even though Nurse tried his best for the Panthers to win is nuts.

Does Nurse regularly just go blank on plays when he gets the puck? A few times in game 6 he just had some "lights are on but no ones home" type moments... being in Red Wings territory I'm not sure if that's a normal occurrence for him.

 

[Sadekuuro]

How is it possible that no game 7 has gone to OT in like 70 years. Has to be one of the most oddball stats in pro sports

The main factor is probably that there have only been 13 such games since the last one:

Thu Apr 14 1955	Detroit 3, Montreal 1
Sat Apr 25 1964	Toronto 4, Detroit 0
Sat May 1 1965	Montreal 4, Chicago 0
Tue May 18 1971	Montreal 3, Chicago 2
Sun May 31 1987	Edmonton 3, Philadelphia 1
Tue Jun 14 1994	NY Rangers 3, Vancouver 2
Sat Jun 9 2001	Colorado 3, New Jersey 1
Mon Jun 9 2003	New Jersey 3, Anaheim 0
Mon Jun 7 2004	Tampa Bay 2, Calgary 1
Mon Jun 19 2006	Carolina 3, Edmonton 1
Fri Jun 12 2009	Pittsburgh 2, Detroit 1
Wed Jun 15 2011	Boston 4, Vancouver 0
Wed Jun 12 2019	St Louis 4, Boston 1

I think 99 of 100 replay people or coaches though opt to not challenge it. I think whoever their replay guy is would have been looking for a new job next year if that call isn’t overturned.

Or the the coaches trust their PK to kill it off incase it’s not overturned.

The PK is what… +1 in the series so far?

 

[WaitingForUser]

Oilers had Demko out all series, a limp dick Elias Pettersson, Boeser getting a blood clot, and still barely squeaked by. They were lucky to get out of that series, but they have decidedly been the best team on the ice in the last two. Absolute masterclass from Knoblauch all the way through.

Makes this all the more difficult to stomach. Ah well.

Dude the Canucks had Silovs playing like Hasek for the first 4 games of the series and Skinner was like Cloutier. You lost the series because your best players didn’t show up. Edmontons did and wanted it more.

 

[syz]

Okay but does Cody Ceci score in game 7?

I agree with you. With the current application of the rule however they got it right.

Oilers have a lot to be proud of regardless of outcome, but this was THE year for the Panthers, they'll never get a better chance than this.

Oilers were like 3rd in betting odds at the start of the year to win the cup. They’ve been the best team in the league since game 12 of the year.

It has been “cup or bust” for Edmonton all season.

Gratz for Edmonton. Mcdavid gets Stanley cup and that makes me happy, but i was rooting for cats.

Panthers are done.

They looked toasted tonight except for Barkov and maybe Lomberg

 

[WaitingForUser]

Why does it say it's the first time and then say it happened seven times? What am I missing?

First time the team has won when it happened

Yes he’s f***ing bad. Low IQ player.

It will be done

That's the only kind of Pettersson there is, so no point pretending that is something to watch out for next time.

 

[Sniper99]

Matthew Tkachuk is the biggest punk ass son ever, does his dad look like his heart can take game 7?

been waiting for years for someone to feed him his mouth guard.

You really do think (even just a little bit) that you can affect the outcome of game seven by this, don't you?

 

[Xelebes]

I just wanted to say how amused I was, sitting at Chiantis on Whyte watching the game and fire truck starts blaring and the Oilers score their second goal. I'm sure the call the firefighters were heading towards was serious, but to me sitting there, it simply sounded like a Wambulance. Pretty funny co-incidence.

 

[winnipegger]

If the oilers lose they will walk away with heads held high and say get em next year. If Florida loses it's the biggest collapse in NHL history.
