Probably the worst refereeing I've ever witnessed in an NHL game. The league should be embarrassed.

Absolutely... just terrible. That offside call at the end was just brown-coloured icing on the cake.

It's too bad that they don't interview the referees after games... the questions they would have been peppered with would have been ruthless.

What is with the reffing the last few days?

You'd think the NHL wants the Oil to finish last...

The refs called a better game with fewer mistakes when they only had ONE on the ice, and NO video reviews! Refs rarely determined outcomes of games, with regards to the Oilers, now its almost every game.

Should start some firings. When was the last time a ref got fired, or is it like working for Canada Post?

Did Maroon pick up the game puck at the end of the game to present it to the officiating crew? Another "stellar" night for NHL refs/linesmen at an Oilers game.

Someone on hf said the Ducks have a tradition of taking the puck in games they win, and Maroon scooped it up before they could and refused to give it to them, that's why the Ducks players were so PO'd at the end.

Good, if anyone deserved that puck for the win, it was the refs.

I love it. That's a stupid tradition. You take game pucks for things that are meaningful. Not every G-D game. That's ridiculous. It's surprising it's taken this long for someone to stop that.

Yeah, I hope every team does that now. In the playoffs they collect the pucks too I believe. Think there was a little behind the scenes thing about the Ducks last season where they were making a little puck monument with all their playoff win pucks. I hope whoever they face in the 1st round just starts snatching the pucks if Anaheim manages to win any games.

Reminds me of when Pronger was picking up the pucks in the playoffs (when he was with the Flyers - I think in the finals) when the other team won LOL ...... Maroon is a beaut

LOVED that. This guy is a lot of what we need. Him and Kassian I believe could be 2 huge parts of a much needed identify shift for the Oilers.

As for Maroon picking up the puck, Doug McLean on HockeyCentral just called it childish and petty. Doug. McLean. Called someone else's actions childish and petty... rofl

Love it, find a way to stymie those turds so even if they won, it seems like a bit of a loss. Also, first bit of worthwhile reporting I've seen from Principe in awhile. I thought the puck should have gone to the guys in the stripes, though.

It's been a terrible season for officials and the Oilers, but the last 10-15 games have set a new low. I've watched a lot of hockey this year aside from the Oilers, and the Oilers easily get hosed the most. Even DeBrusk went off on it the other night, and of all people Drew Remenda who goes out of his way not to side with the team he provides color for, has commented frequently on soft calls against and non-calls for. It IS a joke, and there's no reason for it.

If there was playoff implications these past couple weeks Rexall Place would be on fire right now.

What a joke it's been lately.


It's been a terrible season for officials and the Oilers, but the last 10-15 games have set a new low. I've watched a lot of hockey this year aside from the Oilers, and the Oilers easily get hosed the most. Even DeBrusk went off on it the other night, and of all people Drew Remenda who goes out of his way not to side with the team he provides color for, has commented frequently on soft calls against and non-calls for. It IS a joke, and there's no reason for it.



or maybe there is.


Gary wants us to draft first again?

Never have I ever witnessed such poor reffing at a game live.

What a way to enjoy my last game at Rexall. #FarewellRexallPlace

Just remember this when we draft Austin. The best way to deal.

That was such a nice play by McDavid to kick the puck to Hall inside the blue line. I absolutely hate how crappy NHL officials are. They just embarrass themselves night after night and there is zero accountability.

Three Ducks going the wrong way...oh what could have been. Who knows maybe another Gibson big save.

Brutal reffing again , not only here but around the league.
One day everyone is called for holding , next no- one ?
That end of game off side call was absolutley clueless !!
What do ya say, if Ebs hit the empty side of the net on the push off yaks goal we may have had a chance.
Once again we had chances to not only win this game but take control and we can't burry it .
It's not horseshoes so close doesn't count.
Wonder if Matthews will get us over the hump . Lol

This play is why I hate the video review of offsides when a goal was scored. The only time they want to ensure they get it right is when a goal was scored. The rest of the time, whatever. And then they wonder why scoring is down across the league.

It's just such a terrible rule. There was a play last night where I think the Oilers were off-side on the zone entry on the PP. They spent a good 30-35 seconds working it around before they got a chance and Gibson smothered it. If they score, they've killed a good portion of the powerplay, and the goal is still coming back.

Just a terrible, poorly thought out rule by the league that decreases scoring at a time when they want to increase it.

For the record, I hope the Ducks flame out early in the playoffs. I hate watching that team. They have all kinds of talent, but they just lock it down and play the most boring brand of hockey possible. It's not fun to watch, and I'd hate to see them rewarded for that.

Doesn't the clock get reset?

And what happened last night is EXACTLY what you were talking about the other day - even though it wasn't really close at all, because they don't want to be showed up, the officials will just blow down anything close.

Someone with more free time than me should piece together all the calls against/non-calls for the Oilers this year and show them side by side. Preferably from the same game so they can't blame different refs. Then have someone like Chia or someone in the media hold a press conference and go through them one by one. Would be fun to watch.

Have you developed a masochistic streak? I don't know if I could watch in succession the called off goal against the Flames, the Perron goal that counted, the Lucic trip of Brossoit and then that off-side last night and not lose my mind.

While we're at it, someone might as well just make a montage of all the flagrant offences against Taylor Hall that go uncalled by the officials.

The refereeing really has been beyond awful this year. Joke's on them though. They're just going to make us win another lottery!

To your question on goal reviews for off-side, I don't know. It would make sense to reset to the time of the off-side infraction, but since it's being done with the stupid iPad in the penalty box, do they even have the game clock there?

I commented at the game last night that I don't think I've ever seen a team ice the puck as many times as the Ducks do. I guess when you are good at face-offs, that can be a strategy. But it makes for awful hockey.

It was equally frustrating when Lander got a delay of game penalty for flipping the puck over the glass when the Ducks had been intentionally icing the puck repeatedly all night long.

I think I'll make this sign and bring it to the game Saturday (though it probably won't be as bad, playing a fellow Canadian team).
