Vegas Golden Knights defeat Edmonton Oilers 4-2 - Advance to WCF

[Divine]

DoPS got just about everything wrong these playoffs. Makar should have gotten 2, Eberle should have gotten 1, Pietro should have gotten at least 2.

E. Kane should have gotten at least 2 also by those standards

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I get it. I'm not saying he was being a good sport but Pietrangelo very realistically could have broken the wrist of that hand he was supposed to shake with. I'm just saying it's understandable.

The line he’s giving you about Crosby and Lidstrom is pure fiction.

Drai is hardly the first player to do this in the line.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

But that's the point, that the DoPS doesn't know their own ass from their head. If Pietrangelo had done that to any other player on any other team in the league, the fans of that team would be wanting more than a game. That was one of the dirtier (and dumber) plays in recent playoff history.

Kane's running crosscheck into Pietrangelo's neck was worse...

 

[Donnie740]

Stu Skinner was absolutely brutal. Inexplicable how Woodcroft continued to insist on starting him after pulling him three out of the last four games.

Woodcroft challenging Sheldon Keefe for worst coach in the league.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Totally. Except for that 7th Norris he won a couple years later he was a shell of a man.

You’re practically a hockey encyclopedia with how well you remember things.

2009 was the second coming of the Dead Wings, let’s not pretend and Lidstrom is the king of reputation awards.

 

[KnightCap78]

Anyone who thinks the Refs actually favour Vegas should watch their game 7 with the Sharks.

It still gives me nightmares

I knew if I gave you enough rope you’d continue to hang yourself. Lol

It really wasn’t, everyone outside of Edmonton was calling it a 1 game suspension right after it happened.

DoPS is terrible but fairly predictable.

Anyways, moving on

Didn't even think about it much. Care more about the general principle on sportsmanship but you're right. It's not weird for this sport. I'd say it's unacceptable in the few times a player starts jawing at an opponent in the middle of the handshake line. Only instance I can recall was Doan doing it in a playoff loss.

The city of Detroit was collapsing at that time, the NHL did everything they could to prop up that Wings team.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

The Oilers continually running Skinner out there very start was just a horrible choice. How many times a guy gotta get pulled before you realize you should give the other guy a start?

Definition of insanity.

Definition of insanity.

We call that the Dark Times. Missing the playoffs last year was better.

Vegas was better off with that clown on the ice anyways.

Didn't Lucic do it to Dale Weiss after that Boston/Montreal series from ... forget the year?

Well, if you're gonna f around, sometimes you gotta find out.

He went 1-3 after that comment.

I have a vague memory of something like that.

 

[winnipegger]

Vegas against Carolina most likely.

Oilers will be back. This feels like the first time McDavid has had a solid foundation around him.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Lucic scored more than Draisaitl today.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Well, if you're gonna f around, sometimes you gotta find out.

He never won a game after that comment.

Considering that was after game 2.

They definitely won a game after that comment.

Oh nvm.

1-3 after that comment, I stand corrected.

 

[11Messier]

At least the NHL got what they wanted to "grow the game" with the thinking that the Canadian fan base will still watch the games. Now that I learned what Corn Hole is and how important it is, I'll definitely be watching that instead.

It's always the league or the ref's fault, the Oilers never lose

 

[BlueDream]

These teams clearly hate each other and this is gonna be a fun rivalry next season.

Did I blame anyone? I said the league got what they wanted. That's not blaming. I do think the League is poorly run and an embarrassment though but that has little to do with Oilers losing.
