For the record, I don’t think there’s any bias and bad calls have gone both ways. Not just in this series. I do think the officials are woefully incompetent and among the worst in professional sport. And game management absolutely exists.

I do think that this Soucy incident is trial by media at its worst, and that the likes of Button, Spector and Seravalli have put pressure on the league with hyperbolic statements like ‘they wouldn’t be doing their job if there’s no suspension’, while remaining quiet about other incidents that merit discussion.

I actually like listening to Biz and Whitney pretty funny guys that Murls guy is a turd however, but this series is war with us Canucks fans and Spittin Chiclets after Whitney’s call out. When he takes care of his family matters (honestly family comes first) it’s back on after that.

Is overplaying the Oilers’ top guys going to backfire on them? I don’t think McDavid really got into top-gear for the entire 3rd period last game: which is understandable has he was played over 13 minutes. Those guys must already be exhausted in this series.

Oilers have been the better team for 7 of 10 periods. Despite Skinner killing all amd any momentum edmonton gets but giving up a softy

Because they've had to play desperate and chase the play due to falling behind in so many of those periods and playing from behind. Score effects; this happens on the regular.

I'm a neutral hockey fan but follow the Canucks the closest due to location... but can someone explain to me why Hyman/Ryan get zero discipline? Both outcomes had worse consequences than the McDavid crosscheck.....

Not to mention well known-scumbag Evander Kane who swung his foot like he was kicking a soccer ball, that just happened to be the back of Zadorovs head. Loved seeing those pearly whites turn into a frown. I hope big Buff tossed up 2 middle fingers at you watching that shit.

This league is wack.

Canucks had this conundrum early in the Luongo era vs the Stars. AV didn't have a lot of firepower so instead of having a balanced 2 lines with Naslund and the Sedins, he put them all together.

It worked, but, it should be noted, the Canucks were a lot more defensively sound vs the Oilers.

But the Oilers might be able to run and gun their way through, still. Series is still early.

The league has to protect their star players. If McDavid was the modern day equivalent of (EDIT: wow, brainfart) Ryan Smyth I doubt there'd be anything made about this.

I'm not saying that this is an Oilers thing, either. If it happened to Matthews, Ovechkin, etc. same thing would be happening. The top-tier players get treated differently.

You do not sound like a neutral hockey fan in the slightest.

Don't you know, Jay Woodcroft was forcing them to play badly! And McDavid was hurt for the division crown game.... nevermind that the Canucks have had their backup in for 5 out of 7 of those games

They played their backup? Against the Oilers?

I've never heard anything like that happening before.

Because McDavid could have been killed!! I thought it looked more glove than stick, but only watched it once or twice. Zadorov needed stiches, turns out Hoglander might not be able to have children anymore... but you know man McDavid.

The Evander Kane foot swing was the most dangerous thing by far. I'd love to see a slow-mo on that one. Damn near attempted murder on the Russian.

Would be nice if it applied to this years Norris winner too.

Sorry I worded it wrong, neutral fan, follows the Canucks the closest and HATES the Oilers with a passion.

But... I'm pretty sure I'm like anyone in the world, who isn't an Edmonton local, or a star player bandwagoner. At least Edmonton natives don't really have a choice, the latter have to be dumb to think they'll ever win with that core/depth.

Hughes is great and all, but

- he hasn't won the Norris yet (although he's prolly the most likely candidate)
- he's not the 'marketable face' of the league. Maybe he gets there. But he's not in the tier of guys like Crosby or whomever.
