GG Sports Fan's Pain

@GenePrincipe @EdmontonOilers I would love to hear the reasoning behind voting for Werenski and Makar over Bouchard. If it’s not about points, then why nominate offensive defensmen? If it’s about turnovers, well, they both had more than Bouchard. Anti oilers bias again.

Norris voting was tough this year. Many good candidates and I had in no particular order Dahlin, Werenski, Bouchard, Hutson and Makar. All had good seasons. All situations matter of 5x5, PP and PK. Ranked by points: 5x5 pts: Bouchard (95) Werenski (47) Werenski (81) Bouchard (46) Makar (79) Hutson (46) Hutson (78) Dahlin (45) Dahlin (72) Makar (39) 5x5 SF-SA 5x5 GF-GA Bouchard 800-619 (+181) Hutson 92-55 (+37) Makar 711-594 (+117) Makar 75-42 (+33) Dahlin 723-610 (+113) Dahlin 78-53 (+25) Werenski 811-704 (+107) Bouchard 87-69 (+18) Hutson 675-594 (+81) Werenski 81-66 (+15) PP points: PK TOI GF-GA Bouchard 33 Bouchard 147:51 (3-18) Makar 29 Makar 146:55 (1-13) Dahlin 22 Werenski 91:07 (2-13) Werenski 21 Dahlin 63:10 (1-4) Hutson 20 Hutson 40:31 (0-3)

there is an extreme bias against Evan Bouchard when he is not a finalist for the Norris trophy this year. #NHL #Oilers played all 82 games. 21-74-95 crushing all others AND before it is stated he was PLUS 25

#Oilers score first. not sure it's a good sign. what a pass from Bouchard!

Regardless of OT goal, Oilers blew another two goal lead. They are 1-3 when scoring first. The other 15 playoff teams are 19-8. Blown leads are killing them. They allowed two goals in the second period and have been outscored 9-4 in the middle stanza. Had a lead in the third and couldn't hold it. Can't hold leads, can't PK and getting thrashed in the second period.

The only thing I want from the NHL tonight is to identify which of the officials had it as a good goal on the ice after the conference - because the low referee sure didn't call it initially. Ryan Poehling being so demonstrative and sure about it absolutely, 100% made that call

@Tink4Yourself_ jumbotron view would not have shown it in. only Ducks celebrating.

The ref should have a news conference, but why hold them accountable?

Again #Oilers are not good enough at this point but tell me which one of those refs saw that puck go over the line to call it a goal. #Impossible for all 4 officials.

now the ref says the puck completely crossed the goal line and clearly cannot see that. the #Oilers do not deserve to win but that is bullshit. mo way the ref saw it in real time and does not see it in review

so ref never called it a goal at the net. how is it a good goal before reviewing? bullshit! #Oilers nobody called it a goal at the net!!

No idea how that wasn’t evened up. That’s true. But what is Walman doing?? Also true.

dumb penalty by Walman when your penalty kill cannot stop anything. #Oilers

how about McTavish for the dive? that's a big man going down real easy. #Oilers #Ducks

McDavid appears to be struggling with the puck, and then Nurse takes a useless penalty. not a good combo in a brutal period of #Oilers hockey

too funny. commentator says tenth straight playoff appearance for Mitch Marner. #Leafs #Knights

how do you call it a goal and determine it was 100% not in? #Sens

Evan Bouchard is just the 10th defenceman in NHL history to record 95 points in a season Others to do it: Bobby Orr (6) Paul Coffey (6) Denis Potvin (2) Ray Bourque (2) Al MacInnis Brian Leetch Erik Karlsson Phil Housley Roman Josi

The NHL would never adopt the 3 points for a win and 1 point each for a tie, but if they did... St.Louis, Nashville, Washington in. LA/Anaheim/Philly out. Really showcases the OT/SO merchants.

what a shame for Ingram after playing a tremendous game. tough loss #Oilers
