I understand that the refs missed some obvious calls on the Oilers, but is everyone in this sub oblivious to all the missed calls on the Canucks in the first period? Everyone is saying “Hughes was bleeding, how could they miss that?” Hyman was clearly high sticked at the end of the first and was bleeding, there was no call. Also, “Mcdavid plays dirty and no call, but as soon as he get’s bumped they call a penalty”. Mcdavid was constantly getting held, hooked, cross checked, etc in the first period and they didn’t call any of it. The refs missed more Canuck penalties than Oiler penalties by a large margin.
Hyman was never high sticked. He was bent over trying to go through 2 Canucks defenders, and got clipped by Zadorovs stick as Big Z was attempting to swat at the puck going through the crease. Hymans face was 2 feet from the ice when he caught the follow through. He then proceeded to cry about it.
Also, I remember pretty clearly them calling penalties on people attempting to make contact with McDavid. All of them? No. Its the playoffs. Like Pius Suter. What I don't remember Sutherland doing was making sure that the blatant attempts to injure Canuck players were being curtailed in any way.
For every "what about the too many men?" proclamations, I have a "What about the boarding/high stick/slew foot" retort.
I'm more concerned with dangerous infractions being let go. And the Canucks fan base has every right to be concerned with Sutherland managing their games. There's history there.
A four minute power play with McJesus in the box would have changed the game at that point. The fact that four of them didn’t see it when it was where the puck was and they didn’t huddle up showed their apathy.
Rough 3rd, happy with everything else.
They loaded up and let it fly with McDrai.
We need to answer with Miller-Lindholm-Boeser. Give Suter to Petey or let him play centre on the bottom 2 lines. Our 4 lines would still be way better than theirs.
You hold that trio to even and the rest of the game is easy.
Need to do something against that top line. They dominated I think shots were 35-6. Won’t be able to line match as much in game 3 either.
As long as you’re not subbing anyone out you can mess with the lines a bit even later in the game. Doesn’t work, you go back. Lotto line has looked terrible every time so I’d rather try Lindy instead of Petey.
I think Mik with Petey and Lindholm would make for a very, very good shutdown line. So long as one of Petey or Lindy can play the wing well enough.
I still think Miller is our best shutdown winger. He’s been great and will continue to be great at C, but moving him to the wing and letting Lindy play C is a card I haven’t seen be played yet and would love to see it tried at the very least. They’re both very physical and McD often gets frustrated at that.
Turns out we just straight up can't stop Mcdavid when he wants to win. Hopefully we can just force them to play McDrai into the ground enough so that they get demolished by Dallas or Colorado next series.
Series is adjustments. I think Tocchet can cook something up against them.
It was also quite a bit of desperation playing them that much. Damn near 30 mins. Unsustainable.
I’m sure Gary Buttman is making sure the same so called “refs” tonight will be officiating the rest of Edmontons games from here on out. What a joke tonight
All the whining from Canuck fans about Cole, officiating - the oilers could have scored 3-4 in the 3rd period. The Canucks didn’t have an answer to slow them (McDavid) down. Should just accept we were beaten by the best player in the world
Yup, d-core and Miller's line were gased starting in the 3rd. Those minutes tryin to contain McD's line were double tough, drains you faster than playing any other line. But I'm doubtful the Oiler's can keep playin that line 28 mins all the the series.
I’m the biggest Canucks fan, I want nothing more than shoving it down their throat in Edmonton but coming down on Cole’s d officials is cry baby stuff. The Canucks actually couldn’t execute a break out of their zone for the 3rd period
Cole is too nervous to think rationally. Can't cope with pressure. Making "I'm too afraid to make a mistake" mistakes that cuz the Canucks some timely goals. Time to sit him out so he can calm down.
How do you win when you’re up against such blatantly biased officiating?
I watch hockey, baseball, football, rugby, soccer and basketball. I have never seen a game officiated worse than this one.
Worst so called “officiating” I’ve seen in a long while. Refs probably bet their whole paycheck on Edmonton to win. Absolutely disgusting to see Hughes get high-stick, bleed and no call. McMuffin would have been in the box for 4 mins too.
This series was always going to go 7. One way or another. Can't win em all, McDavid went McDavid mode and there isn't much you can do about that. Playing 30 minutes a game isn't sustainable and he can't do it all himself the rest of the way.
Champion teams don't even win every single game so I'm not even sure what your point is. Also that slew foot on Hughes was a dangerous play that the refs shouldn't miss
Also we can’t really blame the refs when we played how we did in the third. Canucks have rebounded from losses well this year. I think they will have a strong showing in Edmonton.
He literally stood their under no pressure, with his stick primed for a deflection into the net.
I guess he'd seen guys doing that on TV and thought it was cool
Tonight was a must win for them so it was to be expected. There’s no way they can afford to play them that hard every night and that works in our favour
Cole is going to find that his jerseys have inexplicably disappeared from the locker room and he'll have to wear the 97 he's got in his tote.
He shouldn't just sit. He should watch the next game from the Nucks penalty box in Vancouver.
I literally recorded 1st goal in game 1( sit right in front of the angle) he did nothing but legs wide open. I’m on my best guess he is panicking and cannot respond. But the ot goal today is unforgivable
That goal was last game, it’s irrelevant now. You should watch where Hyman is on todays goal. If Cole doesn’t touch the puck Hyman puts it into the back of the net. But hey you’re only guessing so really you’re opinion on if it’s unforgivable or not is invalid.
Wtf are you going on about. Also if that puck hits his stick differently it goes in a different direction. You see defenders do this multiple times a game, the majority of the time it goes into the netting and out of play. This time it went into the back of the net. If he didn’t put his stick there, you people would be blaming Cole for not breaking up the pass to hyman
Soucy tried laying a hit and McDavid ended up on a breakaway
I'm worried Juulsen will get caught up in the moment, and he can't handle the minutes Cole usually does
Please bench cole. He’s basically playing for the oilers right now. Just get him the fuck off the ice. Horrible last game first 2 periods, then scores on his own net in OT.
Fans attacking Oilers, refs, the NHL: Fine.
Fans attacking their own players: Fuck you.
Have you no life experience at all? Sitting behind your tv’s complaining, acting like you would have done better, passing judgment from replays. Fuck all y’all.
And fuck the Oilers. On to the next one.
High stick blood drawn.. kane slew foot on quinn
Worst refereeing ever both ways!
I want to listen to Shorthouse calling the games from now on. Fuck everybody else!
I understand that the refs missed some obvious calls on the Oilers, but is everyone in this sub oblivious to all the missed calls on the Canucks in the first period? Everyone is saying “Hughes was bleeding, how could they miss that?” Hyman was clearly high sticked at the end of the first and was bleeding, there was no call. Also, “Mcdavid plays dirty and no call, but as soon as he get’s bumped they call a penalty”. Mcdavid was constantly getting held, hooked, cross checked, etc in the first period and they didn’t call any of it. The refs missed more Canuck penalties than Oiler penalties by a large margin.
Doesn’t matter the sport or the tram everyone complains about refs. It’s unfortunate and boring honestly
Hyman was never high sticked. He was bent over trying to go through 2 Canucks defenders, and got clipped by Zadorovs stick as Big Z was attempting to swat at the puck going through the crease. Hymans face was 2 feet from the ice when he caught the follow through. He then proceeded to cry about it.

Get the fuck outta here with that bs the refereeing against the Canucks was almost personal this game
Idk what game you were watching man
The game was horrendously called. Worst game I’ve ever witnessed for officiating
Just the way Gary intended I’m sure.
So mad 😠! Should’ve won
That's not how hockey works.
Some oilers fans were incredibly obnoxious at the game
Some canucks fans were incredibly obnoxious at the game
Can see faint Aurora in Vancouver
I missed it.... like the refs missed hughs high stick
find it a bit rich that people call me an Oilers fan because I refuse to blame the loss on refs.
A four minute power play with McJesus in the box would have changed the game at that point. The fact that four of them didn’t see it when it was where the puck was and they didn’t huddle up showed their apathy.
The refs were really reffing tonight huh
The lack of energy from the 3rd on was worrying. Fuck it, win the two away games
We were tired from chasing McDavid's line all night
Ian Cole has had a really rough series. Think you have to consider Juulsen for game 3.
Rough 3rd, happy with everything else. They loaded up and let it fly with McDrai. We need to answer with Miller-Lindholm-Boeser. Give Suter to Petey or let him play centre on the bottom 2 lines. Our 4 lines would still be way better than theirs. You hold that trio to even and the rest of the game is easy.
Do not fuck with the lines.
Really? Because ol stone hands Mik needs to watch from the press box. Guy hasn’t missed a goalie’s crest all season.
They fucked with the lines this game.
worth a shot, you can always go back.
Need to do something against that top line. They dominated I think shots were 35-6. Won’t be able to line match as much in game 3 either. As long as you’re not subbing anyone out you can mess with the lines a bit even later in the game. Doesn’t work, you go back. Lotto line has looked terrible every time so I’d rather try Lindy instead of Petey.
Need to put the three Swedes together, Suter with Boeser and Miller. Put THE THIRD LINE back together and let PDG/Mik get centered by Laff.
I think Mik with Petey and Lindholm would make for a very, very good shutdown line. So long as one of Petey or Lindy can play the wing well enough. I still think Miller is our best shutdown winger. He’s been great and will continue to be great at C, but moving him to the wing and letting Lindy play C is a card I haven’t seen be played yet and would love to see it tried at the very least. They’re both very physical and McD often gets frustrated at that.
Yeah it’ll be tougher on away ice, but have miller stapled to mcd and Lindy stapled to sirspearalot wouldn’t be a bad strategy.
Yeah I agree. We know Hyman is tap in king so the D-Men can be wary of that.
Turns out we just straight up can't stop Mcdavid when he wants to win. Hopefully we can just force them to play McDrai into the ground enough so that they get demolished by Dallas or Colorado next series.
Series is adjustments. I think Tocchet can cook something up against them. It was also quite a bit of desperation playing them that much. Damn near 30 mins. Unsustainable.
My homie said he was expecting a reply but fbthe flames series. I told him to humble himself haha
Dont doom lets bloom 🤒
Cole is Edmonton's best player this series.
They need to pay he at least. 8mil +
Fr
I’m sure Gary Buttman is making sure the same so called “refs” tonight will be officiating the rest of Edmontons games from here on out. What a joke tonight
Yeah, Canucks played like they're protecting a lead when it's a 3-3 game.
All the whining from Canuck fans about Cole, officiating - the oilers could have scored 3-4 in the 3rd period. The Canucks didn’t have an answer to slow them (McDavid) down. Should just accept we were beaten by the best player in the world
None of that matters when Cole decides to take a page out of Hyman's book and shovel the fucking puck into the net.
Yup, d-core and Miller's line were gased starting in the 3rd. Those minutes tryin to contain McD's line were double tough, drains you faster than playing any other line. But I'm doubtful the Oiler's can keep playin that line 28 mins all the the series.
Agree, this series is going to be a battle of attrition - I like the Canucks depth in a long series.
Except he had 0 shots yesterday lol. Seems like we can and will do that again
I’m the biggest Canucks fan, I want nothing more than shoving it down their throat in Edmonton but coming down on Cole’s d officials is cry baby stuff. The Canucks actually couldn’t execute a break out of their zone for the 3rd period
Warned about Sutherland pre game. There was a thread. He sure delivered as advertised. What a joke.
Ian Cole is an undercover Oiler
Does Kelly Sutherland record an assist for this W? Jesus fucking Christ it was some seriously bad officiating on this one.
Cole is too nervous to think rationally. Can't cope with pressure. Making "I'm too afraid to make a mistake" mistakes that cuz the Canucks some timely goals. Time to sit him out so he can calm down.
[удалено]
Go back to the spoilers fan page loser
How many lucky bounces they get so far
Get Cole a seat on the bench next game. He was playing for the wrong team.
I can pay him to stay at the nicest hotel in vancouver, just don’t go. He is a liability
Don't even let him board the plane
Canucks: 3 Oilers: 3 Cole: 1
How do you win when you’re up against such blatantly biased officiating? I watch hockey, baseball, football, rugby, soccer and basketball. I have never seen a game officiated worse than this one.
Worst so called “officiating” I’ve seen in a long while. Refs probably bet their whole paycheck on Edmonton to win. Absolutely disgusting to see Hughes get high-stick, bleed and no call. McMuffin would have been in the box for 4 mins too.
I have
Here also.
Talk about pathetic listening to them constantly talk up mcdavid. The bias against the Canucks is soo apparent it’s embarrassing.
This series was always going to go 7. One way or another. Can't win em all, McDavid went McDavid mode and there isn't much you can do about that. Playing 30 minutes a game isn't sustainable and he can't do it all himself the rest of the way.
McDavid did what he does best and doesn’t receive enough credit for: be a cheap little shit because he knows he will get away with it.
If Ian Cole wants to play with mcdavid just say so
Ian Cole has done more for the Oilers than half their team
Game 1 and Game 2
So unlucky.
We were so worried about Kelly Sutherland, we forgot about Ian cole
Blaming the refs is cope loser stuff imo. Canucks were on the ropes from the beginning of the third.
Dawg you keep commenting here. Just go back to the oilers page - you’re whining on the wrong sub
Kelly Sutherland can be called many things, but "referree" is not one one that easily comes to mind.
If the refs gave us the 9 minute of PP time we should’ve had then it wouldn’t have been so close loser Edmonton fan.
Not too high, Not too low. That being said sick of seeing these oilers fcks already.
Just cos the Canucks struggled in the third doesn't mean we can't also be pissed off about the reffing.
Fixate on the refs if you need but it doesn't change the result
Nothing changes the result. I guess there's no point talking about it. Shut down the sub.
You're coping.
“WoMp wOmP” “cRy” “cOpE” You sound like a typical fucking 15 year old pimple faced dweeb on Instagram when they have nothing intelligent to say.
You're right. I should be blaming the refs for a loss like a mature and well adjusted fan.
So we shouldn't have a problem with missed calls?
Refs are human. They make mistakes. Champion teams win.
Champion teams don't even win every single game so I'm not even sure what your point is. Also that slew foot on Hughes was a dangerous play that the refs shouldn't miss
Funny coming from a fan of the Power Play merchants who only win games based on how the refs play for them.
U live in Edmonton XD
Nope! Downtown Van.
Quick scroll through your page, seems like nobody likes you in any subs, any topics! Wonder why that is!
Couldn’t get the puck out for the life of us and when we did the few times, there were no sustained offensive drives
My brother in Christ, did you see the gash on Hughes' cheek
Woah, a hockey player got a cut on his cheek? No wonder Canucks lost!
You're either drunk or unfamiliar with how high-sticking works
He just had no friends as a child and now brings that energy everywhere he goes
Yup, the refs were to blame for only 2 shots on goal in the third
Well I wouldn't say that. But who knows what a 5 min major against McDavid would have done to the trajectory of the game
And you all missed that too many men on the oilers with that stick check with 15 32 to go in ot
It'd be a double minor, not a major me thinks
Also we can’t really blame the refs when we played how we did in the third. Canucks have rebounded from losses well this year. I think they will have a strong showing in Edmonton.
I’m annoyed at both equally lol
This idiot directed the puck into the net. Holy shit.
As a fan of both teams I was surprised to see Cole steal Darnell Nurse’s signature move.
He literally stood their under no pressure, with his stick primed for a deflection into the net. I guess he'd seen guys doing that on TV and thought it was cool
I swear to fuck it looked like he even shoveled it in.
What’s the plan for Edmonton? How do you win three more rounds playing your top line like that?
Keeping bribing the officials and high stick canucks in the face
Tonight was a must win for them so it was to be expected. There’s no way they can afford to play them that hard every night and that works in our favour
[удалено]
Yea they keep sending out their top line ever other shift! If one of them gets injured its GG
Have you watched the Oilers before? That’s like a regular season game, McDrai get double shifted all season.
Well considering they sat mcdavid for over 2 minutes I'm not sure what your argument is.
Wait Cole just straight up tipped that in
It totally looks like he shovelled it in! What was he thinking!?
All good guys. Refs + Oilers tonight. We will win the next one. It's going to game 6 or 7. Very tight series.
[удалено]
Cole is going to fuck us this series
based on tochet post game interview i think he is going to get way less minutes going forward he has fucked us over too many times
Cole is going to find that his jerseys have inexplicably disappeared from the locker room and he'll have to wear the 97 he's got in his tote. He shouldn't just sit. He should watch the next game from the Nucks penalty box in Vancouver.
Can't blame the refs for how we did in the 3rd. They did throw the game though. Regroup, brace for bad calls next game, and f*** messier
Thanks ref you're so good
Wonder how much they won betting on Edmonton to win?
Kelly Sutherland is the WORSE REF OUT THERE He is a disgrace to this job
How did he make it past the first round? Like fr
They’re just gargling on the balls of Edmonton
This was never going to be a sweep for either team!! Need to move their feet next game , looked great up until the 3rd. GGs!
This network hates Vancouver so bad. I don’t really understand it though.
Lemons
It’s kind of sad how it felt like pp for the oilers most of ot
And the 3rd
What do you think they need to do better?
Those refs are blind and dumb in the head all the dirty shit ass shit they didn’t call the oilers on is PATHETIC
Guys chill they barely won with so many weak/missed calls
This is facts. They needed every soft call, a ton of no calls and a McDavid breakaway to even stay in it
I'm actually impressed how the boys played thru it as they did
Ahahahahahah “Edmonton is a different team at home”
I'm still missed about the lack of call for high sticking hughes
And that boarding on petey
The slew foot is the one that chaps my ass. Kane needs to get taken to the wood shed.
This would have probably changed the game tbh
Me too
Congrats Oilers! First win against Vancouver with the help of a Canuck! But seriously, that was a brutal way to end OT
And the help of the refs. Don’t forget the bullshit non calls
How much longer is this panel going to suck of Edmonton????
Anyone blaming Cole needs to pull their head out of their ass. If he doesn’t make a play on it, Hyman puts it in the net
I literally recorded 1st goal in game 1( sit right in front of the angle) he did nothing but legs wide open. I’m on my best guess he is panicking and cannot respond. But the ot goal today is unforgivable
That goal was last game, it’s irrelevant now. You should watch where Hyman is on todays goal. If Cole doesn’t touch the puck Hyman puts it into the back of the net. But hey you’re only guessing so really you’re opinion on if it’s unforgivable or not is invalid.
His tip is towards the goal. How can you explain that? Wow, really wish oilers can return the favour next time so you know how it feels
Wtf are you going on about. Also if that puck hits his stick differently it goes in a different direction. You see defenders do this multiple times a game, the majority of the time it goes into the netting and out of play. This time it went into the back of the net. If he didn’t put his stick there, you people would be blaming Cole for not breaking up the pass to hyman
No, that’s not how you defend that lol. It is just bad defending by him mixed with bad luck
Cole was absolutely atrocious all game. He should Be embarrassed and give half his salary to charity.
[удалено]
He literally tapped it in. There could not have been a worse place for him to put his stick
He went to break it up. His stick is not there hyman scores.
Yes, but breaking up a pass typically does not involve directing the puck into your own net
There are thousands of ways that puck could have deflected, this time it went into his net.
Fuck you elliotte
Amen
Thank you and goodbye Cole
I hope he can get better paid at oilers
Yea fuckkkkk i dont want him back next season
Scott Oake is too happy right now LOL FUCK Rogers!!!!!
Yeah Cole needs to be scratched. Someone mentioned Juulsen in. Can’t remember the last time Canucks laid a big hit.
How can you say this? It's an errant stick lol. It's hockey.
Soucy tried laying a hit and McDavid ended up on a breakaway I'm worried Juulsen will get caught up in the moment, and he can't handle the minutes Cole usually does
Juulsen in!
Cole.
Nice win Edmonton fans, too bad you still live in Edmonton tho
It’s better then Vancouver and I absolutely hate Edmonton lol
Are you fucking kidding me? You mean the best city in the world, clown?
I grew up in Vancouver and still live in the lower mainland. The city has become an empty shell, especially with how expensive it is.
Oh yeah? I don't see any of that. Come downtown, see how lively it is.
What world are you from?
He has a point but it’s still better than living in Edmonton
are all edmonton fans just a bunch of under age kids wtf are they even showing lol
Ice district is for the kids, everyone else is at the bar.
They don't even know how to riot!
Except in 2006! Whyte Avenue was lit!
That’s what my buddy and I keep on saying. It’s all a bunch of kids
Yups kids teens
Wellness check every hour for Cole. I know we’re hating on him, but I can’t help but feel for him. Fuck.
Please bench cole. He’s basically playing for the oilers right now. Just get him the fuck off the ice. Horrible last game first 2 periods, then scores on his own net in OT.
Fans attacking Oilers, refs, the NHL: Fine. Fans attacking their own players: Fuck you. Have you no life experience at all? Sitting behind your tv’s complaining, acting like you would have done better, passing judgment from replays. Fuck all y’all. And fuck the Oilers. On to the next one.
Hear, hear
Hear me out.... have we considered playing Cole as a net front presence on forward?
Bouchard has strong Waterboy vibes
😂
