Couple things from my eye from last night.
Again the Oilers didn’t show up to start the game. This thing has been creeping back into their game again, and is a concern.
In case there was a question about Barrie’s value to the team, last night was it. His absence was noticed.
This Sutter crap is overblown. Flambé weren’t that much better than the Oils. He did however recognize RNH was struggling mega and got the matchups against him. Tipper could see that, and in turn bounced him around as much as he could.
That said, Nuge is struggling mega. He sure hasnt done himself any favours with contract negations. We might be seeing his final days here. He’s just not a $6m player in my eyes, let alone more.
The officiating in this league is a joke, and I think it could be by design. Keep all the teams within striking distance and fan bases engaged. There just seems to be some bizarre calls and non calls for every team in the league, which favour the lesser team. It’s a weird thing to witness, as it usually goes the other way.
Ah well. On to the next one I guess. Show up on time and let’s hope Barrie is ok.

Officiating is absolutely by design. The refs know that their ability to keep working through the playoffs and significantly increase their take home for the year is dependent on them calling the games the way the NHL wants them too.
The NHL seems to think fans are more concerned with crappy teams staying relevant for longer than they are with seeing a good product, so they are fine with allowing hooking and holding on star players. I think they believe that maybe it's a point of pride that the stars have to battle through that kind of thing and that somehow it makes the point that it's a tough game - which would be fine if it wasn't specifically against the rules of the game.
I don't know if it's fair to say the Oilers didn't start the game. The shots were only 5-4 in the first, so both teams were playing a bit of a chess match. The fact that it was open season for holding probably had an impact there too.
