Yeah, because it was the Oilers who clearly benefited from terrible reffing in game 1...

I’m not mad that you’re an Oilers fan. I’m mad that you’re an Oilers fan with that user name.

Lighten up, the series will tighten up some and we'll get "playoff hockey" at some point.
Ehhhh they let a fair bit of stuff go both ways throughout the game. A little ticky tacky on the McDavid call, they also messed up several icings both ways. They are always going to let some extra stuff going at the end of a game with one team trailing and pushing hard. Outside of the offside review (which I'm not sure was them or Toronto), they stayed out of the way for the most part.

Lol imagine if this type of controversial call happened in the leafs series. We would literally never hear the end of it. They're still talking about a legitimate pick play that anyone can see in real time that negated a goal.
Where are you getting tjat? Money puck has xg as 4.37 for oilers and xga 4.83 for avs
Refs gifted this game to the Avs, just blatant. Gonna stop watching this horse shit (not an Oilers fan either).
NHL will never become mainstream due to shit like this. The meddling is the worst out of all 4 major North American sports, and that’s not even mentioning all the racism and sexual assault controversies lately.
Shit goes on in the other sports too, but they are already mainstream, so they don’t give a shit. Gary Bettman’s quest to grow the game in the US at the expense of the fans who actually give a shit and generate all the league’s revenue will eventually fail miserably due to all of this garbage.
NHL is barely a level above seedy regional wrestling shows at this point. What a f***ing joke it’s become lol.

Lol. Been a Warriors fan since the 90s, so yeah I’ve been watching quite a bit lately lmao.
The difference in quality is night and day, and the NBA is light years ahead of the NHL in every way imaginable. Just a superior product. There have been issues in the NBA of course, but at this point in time, the meddling in the NHL is much worse.
The only reason I still even watch hockey is because I know it so well, and have been watching since I was a child. I’m really losing faith in this sport though, and it’s a damn shame because I truly love hockey, but the NHL and their shady antics and meddling and ridiculous controversies and cover ups are ruining it for me. I really don’t have much patience left, and I think a lot of people feel the same way.

I still enjoy that 1-1 nailbiter, doesn't mean 7-6 can't be entertaining. 6-3? I never doubted this would be a 1-goal game. As a novice to McD, it's a pleasure to watch his acceleration. I keep comparing him to SC. SC is better downlow, he could control the board-slot area with his low space. McD is better in open ice.
The Oilers grind, that's the difference for me. They need some Trotzian D-zone coverage, but they are battling for so many 50-50's. Hyman is my unsung hero.
A backup can come in on a glorified streak, KP would've given that game up.

Being optimistic is delusional now? The Oilers have lost game 1 in every series now, it's just a rite of passage at this point. No need to be so angry about it
You don't think Aves won't adjust too? I mean Manson played the worst game of the playoffs, I don't think he will be consistently that bad for the entire series. I mean it's possible, but he's been Aves most consistent defender. Plus, Oilers were extremely forunate to get out of the first period being down by a goal, if Colorado captalisied more on their chances, that would've easily been a five goal first period and the game would've been dead and out of reach. I can spin it any way too brah.
Any team is in the series at this point of the playoffs, not sure what you mean here? The problem is that Oilers can score at will, that's good for them, but Aves forecheque is like an auto-scoring chance generator against the Oilers defensive core, that will be the biggest point of the series. How much will they be able to coup because for half of the game, Oilers were not even in it because they couldn't even skate with the puck.
Where are you getting tjat? Money puck has xg as 4.37 for oilers and xga 4.83 for avs

Yeah that's what I was getting at, yet the common narrative seems to be the teams are getting horrible goaltending. But even if you look at the goal where Kuemper gave a bad rebound, behind a good defense that would've been a no issue since it would've been his defender clearing up the loose puck from the crease, it's not like he gave the rebound directly to an Oiler.
Or the second 2-on-1 Edmonton got scored on, it wasn't a soft goal to begin with, but Koskinen was playing it exactly like he should, he came way out and didn't give much to shoot at, but the defender was also playing the shooter, doing no good and at worst screening his goalie, when he clearly should've taken the pass away and let his goalie make the save. Before Smith was pulled, maybe there was 1 or 2 goals where he could've maybe made the save, but you have a 2-on-1, a breakaway, a very good shot from a good spot by Makar and a PPG goal where he made the first save. None of them were exactly softies.
These teams just have horrible defensive breakdowns and in general give away way too many uncontested shots from prime scoring areas, they don't have their goalies back and set them up for an impossible task. When you battle hard and give nothing for free, then you can expect your goalie to make the save he needs to make, but before then it's useless to point fingers at the keeper.

Hey bud grab a latte and chill out. Maybe hit a protest or a craft beer tasting.
Oilers got f***ed in game 1, that offside goal cost the the Oilers 3 goals in the game
first there was the original goal
then there was a PP goal which would not have happened if the original goal was called back like it should have been
then there is the empty net goal which would not have happened if the correct call was made
that's 3 of the Avs 8 goals that came as a direct result of that offside call.
if the correct call was made, this game ends 6-5 Oilers
and you can't say it wasn't offside the replay showed that it was clear as day.
I voted Colorado in 5 because I believed and still do believe that Colorado is to much for the Oilers I believe we are getting Tampa VS Colorado final.
we don't need WWE style screwjob refs to get there.

In german we call this "Milchmädchenrechnung".
If the goal is called back there is no guarantee, that the game ends 6-5 Oilers. Avs might get another goal. Or tighten up defensively.
That's just not how it works.

The correct call was made.

At 6:15 it explains that plays like these are onside.

I’m not spinning anything it’s an actual fact the least amount of goals we’ve scored in our last 6 playoff games is 4 once. We’ve scored 6-5-4-5-5-6 goals our last 6 games. Unless your scoring 7 every game like tonight it’s tough to keep up.

A goal scored in the middle of a game doesn't dictate the rest of the game.
