What about the non call where McDavid was about to take off to get the puck and Peterson cross checked him in the back knocking him down. That's text book interference.
What about the high stick where the ref was looking and Chiasson took a stick in the face just under the eye. His enter cheek was red.
What about where the Canuck literally had Nurses's leg in a freaking leg lock.
Did Nurse sell the high stick a bit? Yes he did but it still hit in him the face.
To the game. Good bounce back by the Oilers after a bad game in Edmonton with an undermanned team. Koskinen is by far the better goalie. He was good last night, Smith I thought was junk in Edmonton.

The lesson is don't worry about the refs. Everyone thinks their team is getting screwed. They're not.
|
Although to be fair, the Canucks are the last team in the league that should be complaining about the referees. They have the most powerplays by far (110) - seven clear of Colorado in 2nd and 14 more than 3rd place Philadelphia. (Oilers are in 22nd with 80 opportunities).
They've got the 8th most penalties with 95, two more penalties than the Oilers have on the year. Their differential is +15 compared to -13 for the Oilers. Only Winnipeg and Philadelphia (both +19) are getting more help from the referees.
It's really paid dividends for the Canucks too. They've scored 11 more PP goals than they've given up on the PK even after last night. That's third in the league behind only Boston (+12) and Edmonton (+14).
In case you're wondering, the worst and third worst special teams in the league (not including SHG for and against) are our former coaches. Dallas Eakins has his Ducks at -14, while Todd McLellan, never a special teams ace, has his Kings at -10.
|
If fans of the team with the most power plays is complaining about refs there is no point in complaining about refs.
|
Alternatively, if those fans are complaining then we get to complain even louder.
|
Fair. Although, I'm not sure we want to be known as the fans who out Vancouver'd Vancouver.
|
Agreed. One thing I was proud of was that Oiler fans were never as bad as Canuck and Flame fans when it came to blaming refs.
As it pertains to this game and specifically the article here is a quote;
Quote: |
The Edmonton defenceman sold both calls, grabbing his face on the first one and whirling theatrically off Eriksson’s “pick” on the second while yelling loudly enough to be heard in the press box.
It’s the NHL; every call is subjective – like the double-minor for high-sticking Edmonton defenceman Ethan Bear wasn’t assessed when he bloodied Brock Boeser’s mouth as he scored late in the first period.
Again, because it’s the NHL, every team gets calls it doesn’t like. The Canucks just failed miserably to kill theirs.
|
While some of the wording is colorful I agree with what he said. Bear should have gotten an extra 2 min penalty after the goal. Nurse did embellish both calls on Eriksson, especially the high stick.
The last paragraph quoted is important. Take of the Oilers glasses for a second and you see the reporter not put all the blame on the refs but rather the Canucks ineptitude.
Are there missed calls on the Oilers? Sure. There are on both teams, in every game. Over the course of a season they mostly even out. This constant complaining about the Oilers being screwed by the refs is tip toeing up to sad and is a bad look.
Never go full Vancouver, Oilfans, never.
|
Totally disagree about Bear/Boeser. Boeser was on his knees and Bear had his stick at waist height. NO way it was a penalty.
