A debatable goal that is called offside more commonly than not and power play goal as a result of a challenge on the aforementioned goal more than make up the one hooking call that was missed. Not to mention missed calls the other way.
But that's exactly what I meant: people get offended at the thought of the Oilers keeping up.

Before today I thought about creating a theead about how both Edmonton and Colorado are some stacked teams that scare me to the point where I was 90% certain the next Stanley Cup winner would come from out west. Today I can admit how wrong I was. That goaltending has to be some of the worst I have seen since the mid 80s.
Would you like to debate the two friendly icings where the Oilers D gave up going for the puck at the blue line? There is enough evidence. Makar's goal was good. Just some experts chiming in.A debatable goal that is called offside more commonly than not and power play goal as a result of a challenge on the aforementioned goal more than make up the one hooking call that was missed.

Again, the call seems to be based off the discretion of the refs and it's been shown in previous examples. This time it went Colorado's way. Those icing didn't result in game changing goals the way the offside call did. There was also 1-2 hooking calls missed on the Avs.
Stop being so butt-hurt by the Oilers actually being in the series. It's a poor look.
Yup, thanks for confirming that Sakic outbid Holland for a goalie who is barely holding a sv % of 900 in the playoffs. Sums up why Sakic should be fired before Holland. If Holland outbid Sakic, that would be plain stupid to the next level.

Self awareness seems to be in short supply for you. Still a little bit mad your boys aren't playing, huh?
At least Oilers fans actually have something to blame at this point in the season. I heard it is warm in Toronto today. Great weather for golfing.

So media who are paid by the NHL agree with the nhl call on the ice? Makes sense
Ohh by the way water is wet to.....

Who specifically is this addressed to? It's also a poor look when you randomly shout something like this to the heavens.

Did you even read the original post and responses between me and the poster I quoted? If so, you'd be able to figure it out for yourself.
Like I said in the original post, the fact that the Oilers are in the series is offensive to some people. You and the previous poster are proving my point.

Fair enough. To answer your question: no. I might have them on ignore. Or I'm not sure why I didn't see them.

So much wrong because there was only missed calls on one side or what? You can literally go through play by play and see missed calls on both sides.So much wrong here... I predicted this goes to 6-7... But cool be wrong.
Or more likely you will see when either one of these teams face the East champ that guys like McDavid, Mackinnon, Makar and gang will suddenly look very pedestrian. Just wait and watch. 9 times out of 10 Vasilevskiy and Shesterkin are not giving up more than 2-3 goals to ANY team. So these west teams would have to learn how to win games 3-2 and 2-1, I do not think they are capable of that.

Look at the Avs series vs the Blues.
Yes, Binnington and Husso might not be Vasilesky or Shesterkin. But St Louis is one of the most defensively conscious teams. The forwards play defense.
Because I like real playoff hockey, with intensity and defense and goaltending and physical play it makes me a great grandpa? I am 40. That is the problem with today's young generation, all they are about is go go go, faster faster faster, more more more flashiness.
And that is why St Louis is the only team I was rooting for to come out of the West because they are the only west team that plays playoff hockey. And they would have come out of the west if Binnington did not get hurt.
Not the worst kind of loss from the oilers POV. D and goaltending is the weakness but we made adjustments after game 1 in Calgary to tighten up defensively and Smith will rebound.
Shows that the avs are beatable and that we're right there with them. Woodcroft has shown he can adjust and hopefully we can have a split going back to Edmonton.

It is not about soft goals. It is about not a lick of defense being played. Opposing forwards are just coasting around, passing and shooting at will without any pressure or physical play against them. If you only watch Colorado and Edmonton play all year I guess you might think this is normal though.
