GDT: [WCQF GAME 2] | Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks | 4.14.17 | 8:30PM | SN

[SourOil]

pretty clearly left his skates before he made contact. Huge hit but the officiating isn't consistent at all. How are the players suppose to know whats allowed and whats not?

No kidding. Would be frustrating.

 

[The Batman]

Kassian 5 hits already. Damn!

 

[ResilientBeast]

There's no way he'll get a suspension for that

Calvert will give them all they can handle

 

[dem]

Cmon captain.. time to extend this lead

 

[5 14 6 1]

Kassian is unbelievable tonight

 

[McOilers97]

Pretty sure that leaving your feet on its own isn't enough to be a severe infraction. Leaving your feet + head as principle point of contact is what gets you in trouble.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Not an elbow. Wasn't to the head. Not a penalty.

Is 2 minutes for high hitting a thing now. If your arm is up in the air when you hit someone it's a penalty?

dude your splitting hairs

hits around the head are the top of the **** list of things players have been told not to to do

 

[McPuritania]

This broadcast has so many audio, and visual, problems. It's so annoying.

 

[ResilientBeast]

We need to crash the net harder, make the refs give us calls

 

[harpoon]

The Outfield. Still popular in Edmonton.

 

[JSlick]

Is Slep playing? I haven't seen him all game

edit: Oh there he is as soon as I say his name

 

[walktheboulavard]

I love the edge our team plays with..No one is allowed to be near our goalie while we roam around theirs, talking all sorts of smack, and they do nothing about it.

Kassian may be having the best game of his NHL career.

This could possibly be the greatest game Kassian has ever played. Dear lord so many hits and scoring chances.

No doubt about it. He's in total beast mode right now.

Dude it was called elbowing. His elbow never touched him. Hits to the head are a no no. Hits around the head would be shoulders, which is perfectly legal. No matter how high your arm is that doesn't make.contact.

Take off the white knight suit.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Nuge has been good tonight, still weak but not giving up as easily

Usually leaving your feet before contact gets called for charging. Looks like he coasted into the hit tho, he wasn't running at Couture so right on the line I'd say.

 

[McPuritania]

Man, I'd like to have another Oiler goal here. Don't want to go into the third with only a one goal lead.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

No doubt about it. He's in total beast mode right now.

We need a separate playoff REDEMPTION avatar simply for the number 44 after tonight.

 

[Jumptheshark]

hits are oilers 30 Sharks 9

 

[McSaviour]

kassian taking the spotlight off of mcdavid so hopefully mcdavid sneaks in soon

 

[Fairy McGodfather]

Kassian wears the pants.

[nexttothemoon]

McKassian is having a helluva game.

McDavid getting hugged against the boards.
