Post-Game Talk: Wes Side Story

[Bryanbryoil]

I’m often perplexed by what constitutes as trolling on the mains

Most sane places would consider that trolling, but I guess not

If people see stuff like that report the posts. Posting stuff like that has no bearing on the discussion at hand.

 

[CROTT]

Yeah we're gonna have to call a holding the stick penalty on Darrell's right leg. That clown Wes McCauley would love to skate to centre ice and make that call on the microphone.

I actually can't believe people thought Wes was ever a good ref just because of his "funny" (they weren't) hot mic announcements of penalties. This guy is as bad as Chris Lee, who might be the worst ref in North America tied with Kozari and that other idiot that Vancouver fans think is out to get them, but really they just needed excuses for losing to Edmonton in the playoffs last year and that was their safety net to cope with before the games were even played.

There was also the interference pick play that went uncalled by Boeser as he prevent RNH from getting towards the point to pressure Miller. Really seams like there's a directive to try and help the underdog teams win to promote gambling odds.

The Oilers are currently are 27th in the league in PP opportunities per game, makes little sense when McDavid and Draisaitl are hacked and hooked all game and rarely get a call.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

What a shocker, the thread on the mains about the Myers cross check was locked.

Can’t have too much bashing going the other way

 

[Frank the Tank]

Garland admitting he was holding down McDavid should help the Oilers case at his hearing.

It also should alert the league that they may need to close this loophole. If the refs feel an infraction was done intentionally to circumvent the delayed penalty situation in the last minute, they will let play proceed. If time expiries without a goal or change in possession, they can call the penalty and roll back the clock to the time of the infraction.

 

[foshizzle]

Oh then I must have misheard.There is no game on Monday is there?

No. There is a practice. Klingberg is supposed to be there for that

 

[Dazed and Confused]

In 8 games J.Brown has 9PIM. I don’t recall him fighting anyone. We’ve needed him to answer the bell a few times and we’ve got nothing, what is the point of this player? If Knob is going to keep dressing him he needs his head examined.

On my toughness point, it's this right here.

Brown can hold his own vs. anyone in fight. Great, but he doesn't give the opposition a reason to ever fight him.

Or more to the point, he doesn't do anything to get the target off of McDrai's back and onto his own when it comes to the opposition's ire. Go run over Teddy Blueger and have Vancouver focus on chasing you around for half the game.

Does that big goofy Giraffe have a hearing? His was 10X worse. Boys better get fresh and beat the breaks off VAN on Thursday. Unless the refs let them get away with so much sh** again.

I want 2 Canucks to go on mental leave after that game. 2 resets

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Man after seeing the reaction online, there’s not much that could happen to Vancouver that I would care about.

Homeless epidemic? Deserved.
Extortionate housing prices? Deserved.
Massive earthquake that causes the lower mainland to drift into the ocean? Deserved.

Both McDavid and Myers are having phone hearings.

The script was released last night lol, they’re both getting matching 2 game suspensions.

Their team has looked like dogsh** since last All-Star Break.

Drama central

TJ Reset Miller looks like he is going to be traded

They have nothing going for them hockey wise. That's what trolls generally are in real life. People who are unhappy and find a moment of happiness and getting off trying to rile people up.

Can't feed into losers like that. I would ignore that thread. Physically click the ignore thread button. It makes life easier around the boards

Yeah that’s what I don’t get about him. He is supposed to be our enforcer but look at the end of the game, he tries to tangle with the guy lined opposite to him but the Canuck is smarter than he is and just skates away.

What he should’ve done is stand a bit away from the dot and as soon as the puck dropped he should’ve sprinted towards the dot taken the head off the Canucks’ centreman. Or he should’ve just made a b-line for Demko and just ran him over. Send a f***ing message.

I’m not even talking about the mains lmaoooo

Seems like the Canucks only game plan for the Oilers is to cross check Oiler players in the face. Soucy in the playoffs, now Myers.

Personally, I think McDavid will get a $5K fine or maybe a 1 game suspension. Garland was basically molesting him that whole sequence and the refs doing f*** all as they always do, should have intervened by skating over and yelling at him to let him go. Myers on the other hand, is standing still when Bouchard skates over to him and telegraphs taking his mouthguard out. Myers waits until he drops his arm down and drills him in the chiclets.

But we know how the league works. Wouldn’t surprise me if Myers gets the fine and McDavid gets the suspension.

When is the league ever going to hold the refs accountable unless they're painted into a corner because a ref said the quiet part out loud over the mic?

They should be held to the same regard with lost games or fines for bullshit reffing. That’ll get the refs attention pretty quick but I know better than this. Any negative publicity is good publicity to Bettman.

Just awake enough after getting some narcan to post this?

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

I’m surprised the amount of whinny shocked snowflakes on the mains crying about what happened. Like this is the first or last time something like this has or will happen. To me it’s a f*** around and find out moment when adrenaline was running high. Personally I didn’t mind what happened because no one got hurt. Even the cross check on Bouch had me laughing. Atlest it wasn’t a Bertuzzi

[McShogun99]

I’d love for Connor to tell the league to f*** off and sit at home during the 4 nations cup.

Mcdavid has to much pride to do that. Refs should have called the penalty but Mcdavid cross checked a midget in the head so there has to be a standard set for everyone that attacks midgets. We need to live in a world where midgets like Garland can run free and hump all the legs they want.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

If you're a star player who lets players bully you a bit like Crosby did, you get called a wimp and hated on. If you're a star player who stands up for himself after getting dirty plays against you all game, you're a dirty player and get hated on. Oiler haters are just gonna hate.

 

[Dirty Mind]

Yeah.. this isnt f***ed in the head at all

Canucks fans run their mouths like nobodys business, you are literally the last fanbase that should be acting morally superior to anyone else.

I’ve seen some pretty pathetic comments by Canucks fans about Ben Stelter, there’s no low your fans won’t sink to.

I know there’s jest in this but gonna call this out and say it’s not needed. I don’t care about their trash fan base or team but we just don’t need to be typing thoughts that millions should die. Rise above.

and whoever did that is f***ed in the head too. that little guy went in the off limits book instantly..

so yeah, f***ed in the head is f***ed in the head regardless of whatever stupid hockey team you cheer for. i can't stand the oilers worth nothing, but for example in 2010 or 2015 i wouldn't say - massive wildfire devastating alberta communities - deserved.

McD could do it differently. Game was essentially over anyway. A real way to get a message across? Pretend he's injured during one of these wrestling/tackling/slewfoot bs instances. Stay down, stay down a long time, require a stretcher off the ice and have he Oilers team provide no immediate updates. Make the league sweat a little that their marquee face of the league is possibly seriously injured through something that the league allows to occur nonstop.

This is by no means blaming McD, I don't for an instant but I want the NHL to panic next time and really figure it out.

McD should also feign injury before the 4 Nations cup. That would screw with the NHL bigtime.

Its absolutely incredible the league is suspending the most important player in modern times instead of protecting him and the other marquee players that sell tickets and are the reason people watch.

Dunderhead NHL suspends McD and ratings automatically go down for the game(s) he's out. Indescribably stupid.

We all know McD had this outburst and suspension review due to the NHL's game management of not calling bs on the worse teams.

You might not have but I absolutely saw that from Canucks fans on the mains.
