RNH is such a versatile player. He can be a first line winger beside McDavid or a mediocre third line centre that on a good day can go head to head with Teddy Blueger and barely lose the matchup.

Yeah, and I said that after he had a brutal turnover where Marchment had a half breakawayHe just moved out of the way on Lindell's empty net goal. He never tried to be in the way or block the shot.
Why would you think that's wild. Have you ever seen MacK play defense or throw hits?

I am NOT an expert on the NHL rulebook. But I know for certain that USA Hockey does not allow an opposing player to obstruct (check and pin) the attacking player when the puck has been passed, deflected or otherwise pushed forward beyond the point of contact.
I've been penalized personally for doing this. My players have been called for this as well. It's an old school 1970's technique thats been killed. We learned to stop obstructing the forwards progress after the puck gets sent past the play. Ya just can't check and pin him.
That non call resulted in the Stars scoring an EN goal.
There were also at least two, maybe 3 instances of the Stars having too many men on the ice when executing a line change. No calls made.
Of course not. The Oilers PP is devastating. The refs cannot allow them any opportunities. Especially after DeBoers whined mightily about it.
We can all hate the Oilers and their fans a much as we want here. But the ref's playing favorites is really way, way too much.

It's a best of 5 and the Oilers have home ice advantage now.
How exactly does this game cost them the series? Did the Panthers also lose the series to NYR last night?
Lots of series left but this could still be big. Avs lost that Vegas series when they blew their chance to go up 3-0 late in game 3. We’ve seen a fair amount of series where teams had a shot to be up 3-1 but flubbed it at the last minute to give up the tying goal and then lose in 6-7 after it became 2-2 instead. Nashville might have won their series if not for the missed EN and then collapse that lead to them being down 1-3 instead of tied 2-2.
Never know where the turning point will be until it happens

If the Oilers are to win this series, they must win both upcoming games at home.
And you can't give Dallas the lead.

The way I see it is the Oilers are heavy underdogs in that series but taking a 2-0 lead could have changed things.
Now it's 1-1 so they are pretty much done.

I feel like I'm talking to crazies. The Oilers lose game 2 and the series is over? This is the series turning point?
Do we want to maybe wait until after, say, the Oilers have played a home game in this series to claim it's over?
Jesus lol

We're rational compared to Twitter comments. Those are I would say mental health patients.

You take that back! I've never once been called rational and I plan on keeping it that way!

To be fair, we are all sane and rational here until Georgiev allows 4 goals, then all hell breaks loose

Not Great, Bob!
I’ll die on the hill that Curb is much funnier than Seinfeld ever was but they are similar enough that this is a solid comparison

Incredible show and my all-time favourite comedy. I actually just finally got around to finishing the final season two weeks ago.
I could never get into Seinfeld. It was on TV when I was a kid and didn't like it and then I tried going back to watch it and it wasn't for me. Curb is on a completely different level IMO.
