Actually your team has done jack squat for 34 years, thats before the 2000s. Well, being draft lottery champs doesnt count. Only reason i brought up the division title was your super powerhouse team hasnt even managed to win one - as a bare minimum - after being gifted a guy that is being put in the same conversation as Gretzky. Thats embarrassing. But hey maybe if they keep playing him and his angry side kick for 30 minutes a game to cover up your trash roster - they might win a few more games here.

Really comparing the heights of acorns here... Oilers have been shit for decades and were cursed with 2 of the worst GM performances ever in the McDavid era but let's not act like the Canucks aren't at the top of the list for futility in league history. If the Blue Jackets didn't exist they might be #1.

The Oilers first line is great but besides that dominant line there’s no one else, the 2 other forwards I noticed tonight besides the big line were Kane & old man Perry.

 

[Bizzare]

Are you always this clueless or is that unique to this evening? Nice shot of the aftermath, this is the actual crosscheck. Note the spread hands.

There is no chance the stick is in Soucys left hand, the angle of the stick, the fact Soucy’s elbow is bent and position of his glove. I will admit, I kind of see why you thought it was… but it’s clearly not.

Exactly, this is what the Oilers fans deserve.

Funny how these Canucks fans get to bash oiler fans and stick around this thread.

NHL DOPS

Spear someone in the balls? No problem.
Highstick in the face knowing exactly where it's going? No problem.
Regular post whistle scrum and physicality? SUSPEND SOUCY !!

Crosscheck was to the neck

Chill, this isn't HFOil.

Crosscheck was to the neck

Pretty much incidental contact. Maybe McDavid shouldn't embellish when he gets a light crosscheck to the back.

That's just some crazy usage of the Oilers big-5 unit in the third period. McDavid, I believe, played 13:24 in the third period alone.

The Hockey Gods work in mysterious ways.

Yeah, they didn't appreciate the Sutherland shenanigans in game 2, so no surprise what the goalposts were doing in game 3.

They're always going to take a look into something that resulted in a cross check to the face. Every single time. I suspect nothing will come out of it, but you and I both know that it's far more serious than the other two.

 

[Canuck Luck]

Weird how you guys keep posting the aftermath, not the crosscheck itself View attachment 869742

You just posted another photo thats also in the "aftermath" showing Soucy's gloves making contact with McDavid LMAO.

Or are you seriously saying the inch of the stick Soucy is holding is what made contact with McDavid? If so, Oilers fans please come save your comrade please he's going senile.

EDIT:
if you want a photo of the actual contact itself... here you go:

Even this is actually quite a few frames after the initial contact but I digress. See how Soucy's stick is nowhere near his bottom hand? It means he wasn't even holding it when he "cross checked" McDavid.

Now when you watch the whole sequence, notice how that same bottom hand after the so called "cross-check" ends still isn't holding the stick?

Now once you can admit he is holding the stick with one hand, I'd love for you to share your wisdom and knowledge of what a cross-check is. Could you please enlighten me on how one delivers a cross-check with one hand on the stick?

I think that's why the PP looked so bad in the 3rd, they were just gassed. I think McDavid can play those kinds of minutes, but not all in one period.

I got to say though, I wasn't expecting this team to be this good against a contender this early in their rebuild. Even though I hate this kitty bar the door tactic once they take a lead, they've pretty much played their game successfully against a serious team 3 games in, they could've been up 3-0 even.

 

[Dust]

You can kind of see it on Soucy's face when he hits him that he had no intention of making contact with the face. That's not embellishment though, that was a pretty good blindside shot from Z.

It's the equivalent of using your ace starting rotation pitcher as a late inning reliever to hold a baseball game.

 

[Intangibos]

Why would a team with such insane depth compared to the Canucks like the Oilers be playing their top forwards 30 mins a night? Did their coach not read the articles about how good and deep his team is?

 

[God]

Yeah it definitely isn't on purpose.

Yah, he took two nasty cross checks and a light shove. Wonder if that’ll teach him to not two hand slash someone after the game.

Skinner post game 1 : they aren't in my head
Knoblauch post game 3 : we gotta make a save, and our goalies are not talking to you guys.

Overplaying McDrai has been the same issue every single year. After all these years, they are still looking at a team that only has two guys and a bunch of chumps.

This post would be fantastic if it wasn’t his left hand.
