Throw away the rulebook, and rename it a guidebook. As it stands right now ... embarrassing.

Looking back at this series, I think in game 1 and 2, we very well could have had a refing job similar to game 4. We just blew those games up for ourselves by doing stupid things. Game 1, 2 and 4 could have ended with ~2 PP's each if we didn't do obvious things to draw more. That seems to be the target for the refs, so ensure they can't be accused to helping the Oilers and their historically good PP too much.
Game 3 stands alone as a total clown show, and I guess it was a bit of a relief to see those same refs immediately make a mockery of another game. The review still burns, but that the NHL wimping out, scared to make a call that requires a little bit of reasoning without a camera angle that makes it obvious to 100% of people. We've seen worse.
Fingers crossed we get more like last night. And it's a shame we do have to just accept that McDavid can be groped and chopped at all night and the Kings will have to do very extreme things to push the refs over their ~2 PP per team target.
|
It's funny, but Game 1 might have been the best reffed game of the series. The Oilers continued to do stupid things and continued to get punished for them. The refs didn't look to even it up, even though the Kings had waaaaaay more PP time than we did. That's really how it should be.
I don't think the Kings were angels that night but they were much sneakier and we were just so blatant with so many of the penalties that it would have been hard not to call them.
Since then, I've thought it's not been great of course. Even last night, you knew after the Oilers went 2-for-2 that it would take attempted murder to get another call. The overtime penalty from the Kings was so grievous that they couldn't pretend it didn't happen.
|
And initially I thought it was a gifted penalty until I saw the replay today without the beer goggles. Definite can opener.
|
Even pulls his stick upward as the blade is stuck against Drai's right foot.
Yet I remain surprised the refs called it :) Just luck I guess that the ref was paying attention at the right thing at that moment.
|
It was a trip or interference or whatever a guy wants to call it, it just wasn't as horrible as other ones that got let go on both sides. But considering a few mins earlier, Byfield popped McD in the face with his gloves and no call, I think it was even.
Considering how horrendous game 3 was, last nights game and game 1, wasn't that bad. I will give the panel props, they haven't held back with how much of a trash call the missed high stick was.
I would love if the league had the balls to admit it was wrong. Nothing they can do about it after the game is over but at least admit it was a mistake to try to show you want to be better. So many media, fans, panelists, everyone say it was the wrong call and have evidence to show it was, man up and admit you made a mistake. But this is the NHL, they are never wrong.
|
Apology would be nice. Think the NHL just swept under the rug that missed high stick leading to a huge OT winner. All Oilers fans can still be PO'd every time they see it.
I just watched it again personally. F. puck was flying towards the boards and Valardi makes it drop straight down on Ekholm instead.
|
Or explain the call then. Tell the fans, media, whoever what they saw. Don't say "Inconclusive" What did you see that is different than everyone else! Maybe we are all wrong and you are right, so explain why.
There are so many angles where it clearly looks like the puck changes direction. It is going up, the movement of the puck looks to be going over the 2 players heads, then all of a sudden drops straight down. Laws of physics says it had to of hit the stick to stop it from going the way it was going, then drop like that so explain to us why the NHL felt it didn't happen. The whole "this is how it is" attitude doesn't work for people.
