Ya want a good omen?
As the game was going to OT last night, I had a wild premonition. I had a feeling that the GWG was going to be scored on the 46th shot of the game. Why the 46th? Well, if the Oilers are gonna win the Cup, they're gonna have to exorcise some ghosts. One of the biggest Oilers "ghosts" came in Game 1 of the 2006 finals when MAB fell on our number 1 goalie. What number did MAB wear? 46.
|
Not to jinx your omen, but Bergeron wore 47, not 46.
Fantastic win. I'm still pissed about that Bennett goal. What an absolute farce of a call that was.
Skinner was rock solid in the 2nd and 3rd when he needed to be.
Really hoping for Kane or someone to lay the smack down on Bennett.
3 more wins...

I agree. There were people on here in the gdt saying it was a bad challenge. Honestly it was pretty obvious if you watch the replay there was no trip. He just 'fell'. Terrible call and momentum swing that could have cost the oilers everything.
|
I still think it was a terrible challenge. We've seen much more egregious plays not get overturned. Sure Bennett staggered back into Skinner, but there was enough there to say that he tripped over Kulak's skate. I do 100% believe it was intentional on Bennett's part, but at no point did I think that was getting overturned.

"If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player so as to cause him to come into contact with the
goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the
attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player
has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact."
If that's Bennett making a reasonable effort to avoid contact then I have an oceanfront property in Alberta to sell the NHL

The initial call probably sealed it. Think if Kane fell into Bobo like that the ref wouldn’t be going full Mick McGeough dramatic calling the goal off and forcing us to be the ones to try to challenge to make it count?
It’s crazy to me that some players keep getting a pass from refs. Bennett has already taken a goalie out in these playoffs. He fell on Andersen and even landed another sneaky elbow on him too last series. A whole career of intentionally falling into and on and injuring goalies and the refs see him in Skinner’s lap on a goal and just say “yup, great goal!!!!” And put the onus on us to challenge.

The NHL is so incompetent its staff don't even know their own rule book.. Bennet was NOT ".. pushed, shoved, or fouled .." he was moving backwards and tripped over Kulak's foot.. which was STATIONARY.. Bennet's own movement caused him to trip.. by this ruling last night a player that steps on a stick would be allowed to crash into a goaltender.. or just purposely skate into a stationary player and "fall" into the goaltender.. that was one of the worse reviews I've seen.
Have to give Knoblauch credit he was asked about the challenge after the game and said he'd do the exact same thing again.. essentially calling BS on the NHL.
The real embarrassment were the pundits on Sportsnet who all agreed with the ruling.. lap dogs
Maybe it was because Bettman was lurking in the building last night..
