Make that 86. Good shot by Bear too.

Which one, the crap on Bear or the Nurse "boarding" penalty?

I thought the Nurse one was softer. He didn't really do anything but hit him.
The Bear one was technically interference - my only issue is that they basically never call that interference any more other than that time.

Just a great hockey play, two great players in a chess match and the Flames' guy came out on top. McDavid probably wishes he'd thought of that move.

This is the problem, referees in the NHL are in name only, they don't operate as referees, they operate as "score" managers, adjust the level for infractions, level varying for each team, as suits the score, and time of the game.
I'm watching some IIHF U-18 right now, a penalty in those games is a penalty, at every minute of the game, no matter the score.. guess what? the players realize this and adjust their play to avoid getting penalties, same happens in the CHL, I've seen their games and you never see the NHL ref score management BS going on, the refs call what is there, no more, or less, the players adjust their play to suit, so you don't get 10 PP's per team per game, the infractions just decrease.. cause and effect ..what a concept!
The NHL talking heads try to use the argument; "well, we can't call everything, we don't want to have 20 powerplays per game.." which is an empty argument, it ignores the fact that the players will adjust the way they play to avoid getting a penalty.. its like say charging people with DUI's won't reduce drunk driving habits.
What we see from NHL refs has to be coming from NHL Management, because we can see how real refereeing works in other leagues, at lower levels, all these NHL refs have the skills to call a real hockey game to the rules, what we are getting is not by mistake, or error, its by design, which makes you wonder about the reason.. IMHO this is what NHL management wants. But why?
Not sure sure how the NHL Inc. decides how its rules are enforced, but it seems like the team managers tell the league officials how they want the the game to be, and how the refs should adjust their game calls to make it happen. In which case, if you're a team without a McDavid, or other top stars with similar high-end skill, you naturally push the league to set the bar higher for infractions, to allow your slower players to hack, wack, tackle, trip, maim, the skilled/fast stars of the league, essentially nullifying their existence. Bring fast, skilled teams down to the level of the lower skilled teams, and allow them to compete on the score board. Helps ticket gate, and rights holders if uncompetitive teams (markets) can be helped to be made competitive.. money.
I'm guessing you'll really notice this crap even more next year if we get back to the Pacific division, all the desert teams, Anaheim, LA, SJ, Arizona will be rebuilding, and rely on ref score management to keep them competitive.. book it.
No other pro or amateur sports league does this crap.

Ridiculously soft. Referees trying to game manage here apparently.

That penalty was less soft, but it was just a bodycheck. Not from behind, didn't take a run, opponent had the puck.

Caleb Jones needs more seasoning. Like way more.
That totally blown coverage on Tkachuk that ended up in the net by JG was not NHL calibre play.
He took himself out of the play before Tkachuk even had the puck. Terrible defensive positioning.
ADDED - I honestly hope Tipp tears a strip during the intermission. Caleb has the tools to make it, except for his propensity for completely blowing coverage every once in a while (but so badly that you're wondering where his brain went). Hopefully Tippett can light a fire under him to get him straightened out.

I love how excited Buddy Robinson can get this commentator when he does barely anything with the puck in the offensive zone

97 and Markstrom beaking each other between periods according to Rob Brown. McDavid took an extra long loop around in order to meet up with him again for more words.
Really want a McDavid goal in this 3rd period. Be interesting what transpires afterward.

Hard to believe that that's even-up. Or it would be if refs didn't suck.
I think when you wind up for a slash like that, you have to give him the extra one.
Not loving the rope-a-dope from the Oilers. I'd like to see a little more attack and a lot less defend.

Markstrom probably telling McDavid how much he regrets signing with the flames

Inconsistent reffing continues. McDavid getting interfered with just as much (if not more) than Bear got called for in the first, and then the trip on Draisaitl from Lucic.

No such thing as coincidental minors anymore? I feel the Oilers could really take advantage of that. They should have a huge advantage 4-4.

Not really going for it when we put out Archibald as McDavid's partner for 4v4...

2nd assist on an empty netter? Hell yeah. All McPoints count.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

Dammit, Josh Archibald. That unselfishness cost McDavid his 4th point of the night. Just put it in the empty net. That's really your role.

Flames can't catch the Oilers now.
Only the Canucks left among teams that could keep us out of the post-season, but it would require them running the table without us even picking up a loser point in our remaining games.
Next game is against Vancouver, so we can secure the spot with authority.
