Knob might want to waste one on the refs in his post game. Time to blow up. Its now or never and he's done if they lose this series anyway.
Completely corrupt officiating and no accountability.

This cards were in place to win it this year however,
We had a piss poor trade deadline.
(Yes, Dickinson is a hell of a pickup but we had to overpay to clean up a mess)
Florida doesn’t make it finally it was wide open.
Anaheim was 2-8 in their final 10 games and have out coached us.
Every year it seems like the secondary scoring isn’t there and now this year it’s there and McDavid and Leon are quiet especially McDavid.
Jarry despite the loss played solid and the defence left him to dry many times.
(Really should still have Kulak back there)
Stupid penalties costing us.
The good?
Kap and Dicky look great
Knob is gone, Bowman won’t be but should be.
Bring in Bruce Cassidy as our coach.
Emotions running high right now but this is extremely frustrating hockey.

That puck never crossed the line. Period
The league has finally gone full retard trying to fix games and series .. not even trying to pretend now.
This is the guy that called it a goal when he could never have seen it go in from where he was standing.. in fact he did not call a goal as he came to the net.. he didn't see it .. he could not physically have seen it at all.. impossible.. then after the fact he's allowed to later call it a goal on the ice .. its a made up call.. he never saw it. . so when the video review is unable to prove its a goal.. no clear evidence.. the made up on ice call .. becomes the call.
I think these guys huddled and decided to do this by design.. none of them saw it go in.. so if there wasn't any video evidence either way.. their call of a goal stands

As bad as I want to agree, to me it clearly was across but if the rule states you must fully see it without blockage than it shouldn’t have counted.

We've seen many goals that "might" be over the line that have never counted because the video isn't definitive.. the refs never call it a goal if they didn't actually see it go in.. never happens.. never mind game 4 OT goals in the NHL playoffs..
As well.. the camera angle makes a huge difference.. from the camera angle behind net the puck can look like it would be across but edge actually isn't .. there's about a 25 degree angle .. that's why they don't normally allow these types of goals unless you can actually see the ice side edge of the puck clearly over the red.. and showing white.
Oilers and our fans were robbed of a win and likely a series.

I believe the puck crossed the line. I mean screenshot it and pencil in the lines and I’m sure you’ll see that it’s over the line. But that’s not the point - absolutely zero chance he saw it in the next from where he was. Not to mention that at no point did he signal a goal. And the goal light didn’t go on. There is zero plausible explanation for calling it a goal on the ice.
As for this team - even if we do stage a comeback against these guys, no chance this team gets by the central division.
What a joke of a management team. Chatting with someone tonight and went to look at McDavid’s decade of playoff goalies…quite the list:
Talbot
Smith
Koskinen
Skinner
Pickard
Campbell
Ingram
Jarry
Pathetic.

Hats off to Anaheim. I knew this would be a tough series. I said at the beginning I think it will go to game six. They are just playing like a very young and energetic team. Oilers are playing like they are lazy and want to go home. We are scoring enough, but the careless mistakes and horrible defense. It’s pathetic to watch. Jarry had a great game, and we still couldn’t win.

You are giving the ducks way too much credit I think. I don't think they're lazy buy this version of the oilers isn't remotely comparable to last years. They are decimated by injuries and horrific management decisions. The ducks are going to get rolled in the next round.

Discipline means nothing. It only matters if the beer leaguers decide to give you a penalty. The panthers are the least "disciplined" team in the league. Tampa isn't disciplined. Vegas wasn't disciplined when they won. If you play undisciplined every shift you'll get the same number of penalties as if you played nice clean disciplined game. So there is no benefit to doing that.
Guessing we've seen the last of Lloyd Braun.

Oh I agree completely. I think ducks are a solid team, but they won’t beat Vegas or especially Colorado, Dallas , Minnesota. Zero chance. But they are sure making Edmonton look silly. Never did I think in a game where our goalie has 30 plus saves and plays great that we would still lose. That’s always been our kryptonite is goaltending. Jarry played amazing; an we still lose.
Also, Nurse needs to go. I just can’t stand him what so ever
Edit. I should throw Mammoth in there too. I forgot they are actually up in their series against Vegas.

Quite angry that on such an important goal, the refs have to have a conference to decide what the call on the ice is and call it a goal, despite not calling it that way when the 1 guy was looking at it behind the net. And despite what many have said, I’m not sure it did cross the line. The red paint is not a straight line, it fades into the white, and I don’t know what the rule is for exactly where the line is.
But the Oilers should not have let somebody else decide their fate. They have lost leads in every game, scored first in every game, and only come away with 1 win. Brutal defending.
Win the next one and task doesn’t look so big.

Came out and played an awesome first period, but this team just refuses to play a full 60 minutes. Scored two goals in the first 10 minutes. And then one goal in the last 50 minutes. It’s just typical oilers

It's weird how many people are repeating this idea that they got the call right so who cares how they got there.
First of all how they got there is a huge problem. I'd bet my house that the beer leaguers went into their huddle and got told through their ear piece to call it a goal so the burden of proof would need to show that it wasn't in. There is simply no other explanation that makes sense. They didn't see it and made no indication that they thought it was a goal until they got the instruction.
Second of all it is far from clear that it was in. You can see the white dot in the middle of the puck. It takes two seconds to take that radius and apply it towards the goal line. Of course camera angles and tilt of the puck can impact it but it's nowhere close to being conclusive and anyone saying it is are lying.

Yeah, I’m not so sure anymore. Saw more pictures today, and it MIGHT NOT have been completely over.
I was annoyed last night that they callled it a goal on the ice for all the reasons mentioned. But “knowing” it was over made it easier to swallow. But now I’m pissed - there is absolutely no defensible stance they can take to justify calling that a goal on the ice.
Call on the ice should have been no goal. And were that the case, no chance they overturn that.

My guess is that the refs were thinking about the player's reaction behind the net (whoever it was). "He had the best view, so let's agree with him and let video make the final call." They assumed the video would provide the evidence. They were wrong. They messed up, pure and simple. I don't think they were being malicious. Just making a human mistake at the wrong time.
There is no reason to not have tracking technology figure this out. A human can overturn it if there is an obvious mistake, but the tech will be right on the initial call way more often than a human. The same can go for offsides and icings. Reduce the number of people on the ice to open up more space.

Such a bummer season.
Still think 2023 was THE year. If Holland had the sack to LTIR Yams and Kane to add at the deadline, we could have taken in that season. Could have added a D and goalie.
And us winning with LTIR scamming in 2023 may have closed the loophole for 2024 and 2025 which would have crippled what Florida and Vegas were able to do, which could have gave us a great chance to win those seasons too.
Consequences of garbage lazy GMing. We've been experiencing it for multiple decades now.

Agreed. Just seems like the window is closing. McDavid I have a feeling will eventually leave and we will be garbage OR mediocre.

It was a goal in my opinion, however the one ref looking down could not see it as a goal and when the refs got together they said the call on the ice stands. Uhh.. it's stands? where was the indicator form the ref that it was a goal? The ref had a pow-wow and then called a goal on the ice.
That said, it was inconclusive that the puck crossed the line, although that 25% we could see you can make a fair assumption it crossed the line.
Whatever, game over. Robbed win? Ehh maybe?
This season wasn't a good one and those that say the window is closing, I would have to say that is correct, our wondertwins are turning 30, getting hurt more because they play in everything, the whole league knows that the entire play of the team flows through them and choke them out the Oilers have nothing in terms of secondary scoring. (Although Kapenan and Dickenson are a huge surprise.)
This season has been an abject failure and I lay that on Bowman and Knoblauch. Coffey got here too late to change the D and shame on Knobs for not recognizing our defence was in poor shape.
Nurse has been here for all of it. Been a stalwart figure in the dressing room and besides that one year before his large contract, he hasn't moved the needle in our D. Trade him, (provided he moves his NMC) take on some of his salary and move on.
Blech.. let's get Tuesday over with and let McDavid and Draisaitl heal up. Hopefully there is a coach and GM out there who knows how to bring in the personnel and roll 4 lines, keep the wondertwins apart except on the powerplay.
The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.
Generally Disappointed.
