So what exactly is the penalty for?

 

[dhfa]

refs got bored and felt they needed to do something to earn their paycheck

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

No, Nurse still seems to be trying out there

He’s the $9 million engine that could!

 

[oilers4life5]

Gary’s game mangers to the rescue

 

[snag]

Yep. Edmonton didn't dive a lot during the reg season. Night and day difference because the standard changed for them.

Not just them

 

[robertocarlos]

Eight minutes left in the third. Perfect timing.

 

[NeverForget06]

What a joke of a call that is

 

[DegeN9]

Gonna want to see the replay on that one. Hyman looked like he poked the puck away and the guy fell over.

That's exactly what happened.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

Clear dive

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Again, just goes to show. Diving is rewarded.

So many automatic penalties that should have been called but the dive is the one that gets the reward.

f***ing hell man...

 

[syz]

didn't hyman get the puck first? jeezzz

They changed the rule so it doesn't matter anymore but I don't know if he got much Star at all.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Learning from the best.

The exact same play that McDavid has drawn two penalties on this post season, summer down Oil fans

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Of all of the penalties that could have been called.

Classic playoff reffing.

it’s your typical call for the team that’s down late. If roles were reversed oilers get one of those calls earlier. It’s truly horse shit

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Weird to call that one after all the other stuff they've let go from both teams.

 

[Dessloch]

How is it choke job
. It's a good close game where both sides are fighting hard.
This has been a great series

Carrying a 2-0 lead and giving up 4 straight Edmonton goals, one which was a pathetic short handed goal and then following it up immediately with 4-2. And then folding like a tent with little push back. That is a bit of a choke job indeed if I ever saw one.

 

[TheBeard]

Clear trip.

 

[syz]

Wow, no replay. Thanks Sportsnet.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

So what exactly is the penalty for?

winning the game 4-2.

 

[PromisedLand]

They changed the rule so it doesn't matter anymore but I don't know if he got much Star at all.

wtf when was this rule changed?

 

[snag]

I said it calls all the f***ing whiners here

 

[Bounces R Way]

Kinda weak but Oil got away with several before that

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

BETTMAN ACTIVATE!!!!

 

[ManofSteel55]

Of all of the penalties that could have been called.

Classic playoff reffing.

I can't fathom how they let the hit from behind go but called that flop.

The exact same play that McDavid has drawn two penalties on this post season, summer down Oil fans

Nobody is "summered". We might be if we were down right now, it's more puzzling than anything.
