So if the Flames were making a cup run, you wouldn't be actively cheering against them? Sure bud.

Don’t be outrageous man.

I will take things that never happen for $500 Alex

 

[RegDunlop]

Settle down. You guys won your 1st game all year vs us in OT.
And no one outside of Edmonton and i mean NO ONE considers Edmonton to be the home of hockey in Canada.

Oh yeah. Thanks.
I forgot you're Canada's Team

HaHa

Canada doesn't have a team. I don't know why people keep talking about Canadas team. We all hate each other and I wouldn't have it any other way. But if we are speaking of biggest hockey city its obviously Toronto and Montreal .

Agreed.

Canada has one team… it’s team Canada when they are in international play. Other than that, I would agree almost all Canadian NHL teams are in the bottom 6th of list of NHL teams I would cheer for… and I suspect that is the same with every other Canadian fan base, generally speaking.

For some reason I have a weak spot for the Jets and Sens (to a lesser extent).

 

[thaman8765678]

100% I would, but I am objective in my “cheering against” and don’t make shit up.

Iginla was one of my favorite NHL players of all time. Mad respect for MacInnis, Nieuwendyk, Roberts, Tanev, Lindholm, Lanny, Weegar and, of course, Flames legend Grant Fuhr!

Who are your favorite Oilers and ones you have respect for?

Blind hatred and rage posting when your team is not involved seems weird and sad.

EDIT: actually, I need to correct my statement, not “100%”, 97%… I would cheer for the Flames if they met the Canucks. I feel then Flames fans are true to their team and actively engage in hockey talk regardless if they are good/bad… whereas so many (not all) Canuck fans are closet fans, only engage in hockey talk when there team is good.

I don't like any Oilers players.

 

[zar]

I don't like any Oilers players.

Exactly what I expected.

Feel for you.

 

[Dieseloil]

Series needs a blowout game for one team or the other. Could this be the one?

Neither goalie is showing they have what it takes to go the distance, one will bend soon.

Skinner bent both games.

Cmon
If you're a true Van fan you'll know that at start of year media dubbed them Canada's Team. With one F ing Canadian on roster!
Anyway just stirring shit. Agree if you cheer for another team because of... anything, you're disloyal!

 

[Three On Zero]

Skinner bent both games.

Not really, not when compared to Silovs, they’ve been about equal

 

[TheNumber4]

If McJeesus got slew footed and high sticked in the face in the same game this would be Oilers fans

Tell me more about how our coach complaining about these obvious calls is somehow wrong.........

So like every game of his existence in this league. Nah we wouldn’t be like that, we’re used to it.

 

[archangel2]

I see the fun has started

 

[TheNumber4]

Don’t be outrageous man.

Lol. Thread is getting a bit silly isn’t it.

 

[Dust]

I just hope both teams have fun

Why do we have an Oiler biased game day thread in the main boards. Take that graphic down or add a "Coilers" logo to even things out.

I’m not sure what you’re suppose to do though.

If you call it by the rule book, McDavid would draw a penalty every possession and if you called it normally he would get one every shift and send the most potent power play since I’ve been alive out.

I know it wasn’t your point but I’m honestly genuinely wondering what the solution is for a player like McDavid. Only call the egregious ones or ones that take away a prime scoring chance? If we have to do that for McDavid that should apply to everyone else on the ice as well to keep it consistent.

 

[TheNumber4]

He s whining about embellishment… and the fact it’s not called. Doesn’t take a genius to read between the lines… he’s whining about officiating without getting fined.

Pure projection by Tocchet was so obvious. Knew it right when he said it, cause the truth is McDavid and Drai do not embellish. I wish they did more, but they are TOO honorable.

 

[Three On Zero]

The best part is it’s the same comments being said over and over and over, nothing original or productive is being said

These types of calculations shouldn’t be made in a legitimate League. You call the rule book and that’s that. It’s the only way to find that rare and elusive consistency everyone wants. It’s the only way to officiate that’s truly fair.

Yes and no.
Hockey could never and has never been officiated strictly by the rules. It can't be. The game would be 4-5 hours l9ng if every infraction was called.

In my opinion the refs who can differentiate what needs to be called for either team AT ANY TIME, score notwithstanding, are the best. You're seems to be very few in today's game though.

I agree, I wonder what the league would look like.

Would teams let McDavid streak in untouched or take the penalty and put them on power play?

Oh...
I'll also add that I 100% believe in game management but not conspiracy against any specific team. Saying that though I really feel there's a bias and hesitation to call penalties against Edm due to our PP.

Well the rulebook is written with subjectivity in nearly every call. So yes it’s always been like this, which is why you’ll always have complaints about shitty/inconsistent officiating. A League shouldn’t need to hope and pray they get one of the “good” officials on any given night to have good officiating. That’s a system that will never give the consistency fans, players, coaches want.

Yes. I’d agree game management is a thing. I don’t even think it’s up for debate anymore, the Tim Peel leak pretty much confirmed it.

It’s an Edmonton home game and it’s not breaking any rules.

Agree.
For me, two ref system, although necessary, could have been taught and performed better. Also 'back in the day' you knew refs as they had their names on back. I think it was better.
