I’m interested to see if @NHLPlayerSafety has a hearing for Kreider for this hit on #Draisaitl

@JasonGregor Absolutely crazy that they let that go. Crazy.

Why does NHL allow blatant hits from behind? Ref is right there. Happens all across the NHL. Utterly moronic how the league continues to allow it.

@dantencer Head first into the boards from the danger zone. Egregious letting that go.

If this game gets out of hand, go ahead and remember the officials declining to call a hit from behind on one of the best players in the league. Player safety? Protect the players? Yeah, right.

@jaytscott @Loongtv Exactly. I'm also relatively certain all OT goals in the playoffs are automatically reviewed so there's that too. The puck was in but how they got there is BS.

@Loongtv @builtinswagger The ref went behind the net and waved his arms out, "When an NHL referee or linesman waves their arms out, it is known as a "washout" signal. This signal essentially means "no," "nothing," or "play on" regarding a potential stoppage." Does that not mean, no goal

How do you call it a goal after the fact when there's no call on the ice? There's no way the ref saw that from where he was. #oilers

New goal sign? @ScoutingTheRefs

@tyleryaremchuk Gonna need a solid explanation for that one. What the actual fuck.

So they wave it off... then change their mind and say its a goal? And then, with no conclusive evidence they call it a goal? Insane.

@KevinMcCurdy Agreed. Nurse had a good game overall and bobbling the puck there happens but how he ended up where he did when the puck went in... hoo boy

Look at this shit.

I try to be fair and unbiased in my assessment of players. Losing the puck there before the GWG happens, what happens after is absolutely inexcusable for an NHL player with almost 800 games in the league. We're long overdue for some accountability here.

@jsbmbaggedmilk Horseshit.

Instigator for dropping the gloves at the same time? Sure.

Fucking rights Podz! That's how you do it. Don't let anyone touch him.

@AzorcanGlobal Missing option: no, not a big enough upgrade for the $$

The Azorcan.net poll Should the #Oilers trade for the #Blues Jordan Binnington if Stuart Skinner goes the other way?

@YouTube_Trev *jarventie

Xavier Bourgault is better.

All in on the journey 💙🧡

@hockeyopinions9 @JasonGregor Nothing wrong with that deal for Souray. Didn't work out for the Oilers but that had nothing to do with his on ice performance. He was full value for that deal.

@JasonGregor Take your pick Toronto Maple Leafs: Mike Komisarek - 5 years 22.5 million Jeff Finger - 4 years 14 million David Clarkson - 7 years 36.75 million Edmonton Oilers: Milan Lucic - 7 years 42.5 million Jack Campbell - 5 years 25 million Sheldon Souray - 5 years 27 million

Looking back on bad free agent contracts. Nikita Nikitin got $4.5m AAV in 2014-15 when the cap was $69m. He played 53 games over two years for EDM. Still wild to think he got $4.5m as an AAV after scoring 15 points the previous year. What is the worst UFA contract you remember?

Burns -> Messier Messier -> Howe Howe -> Dit Clapper (played 12/01/46) Clapper -> Cy Denneny (played 12/03/27) Denneny played in the NHA before it became the NHL. Burns played against a guy who played against a guy who played against a guy who played against a Year 1 NHLer.

@lowetide's comment about refs choosing not to make calls in order to not affect the game and thereby affecting the game seems apt tonight

@NHLHodgkinson Bad karma holy shit

Chris Pronger is in the house tonight and he gets a loud ovation by the #Oilers faithful

@KtownPB Inevitability Patty. That’s what you’re feeling.

Honestly… this feels different. Every other time in the last 19 (‘06,’24) it felt just lucky and nice to make it. Today it feels like there is unfinished business. And we’re prepped and ready. #Oilers

@MarkLazerus He’s getting fired. The way he pulled his franchise goalie tonight… can’t come back from that and then this comment. Oof.

DeBoer: "I didn't blame it all on Jake, but the reality is if you go back to last year's playoffs, he's lost six of seven games to Edmonton. And we give up two goals on two shots in an elimination game. ... That's a pretty big sample size."

@bcurlock Haven’t they been using the hard rim to the far side D to D all series? I feel like this was exactly what 25 was supposed to do here. All kulak has to do is send it across to nurse or behind the net to him and it’s an easy play. Instead he goes for the hero shot.

Folks.....
