Hopefully McDavid will too. But he’s worse than Crosby. At least Sid is and was a team player 

 

If he hasn't by now , he won't.

[Elias Pettersson]

 

[Plsdontdoit]

Come on JT can't be apologizing and still be playing mid

[Combover]

Mcdiver after a call

Joshua's tripping was terrible as well. I'm almost convinced there's a mandate amongst the refs to do whatever they have to to get their investment into the Cup Finals. 

 

 

I would believe incompetence before conspiracy. This is a multi billion dollar league. The scrutiny is too fine toothed. Just some bad noncalls.it happens.

That's true, but that's a pretty sketchy call there, imo.  Usually that's called on a charging.......I've never seen that on a reverse hit 

 

I think it was a reactionary call to Foegles head snapping back so violently

So basically a dive, yes?

The Petey chant is pure cringe. Am I right it was Halford and Brough we can blame for that nonsense?

Heard it on Canucks Army too. Media is influencing these soft headed individuals. Once or twice was cool. 10 times or more is so dumb. Not 1 Silovs chant? I'm not saying DeSmith wouldn't have done the same if he were in net, but Silovs has been a difference maker in these games. Maybe get a Silovs chant going...

 

[PeteyBoeser]

We need at least 2 more goals cuz Oilers have scored 3 all series

Do people still call Pettersson alien?

Yeah.  He left the planet for awhile.  I think he's back now.

Fair enough... I should've said 'Easy to be shameless when you answer to absolutely no one but Satan himself'

He does that all the time and never gets called for it, that’s why I hate him, Gretzky, Orr, Jagr, Bure and Lemieux never did that shit

McDavid acts like an entitled Child. Embarassing the league with all his whining.

At this point I'm mostly nervous about the third period reffing. 

Yeah, but we can't control that either.  

 

If Nux play like most of the second, they should win.

 

Sometimes you get bad luck.  But I think they found their game. 

 

Play like that consistently, they will prevail.

Shots 17-4 and @Canuckfanforlife82 is awfully quiet now. 

No kidding eh. Something is up. I'd like to meet this guy I just don't want to have to travel to edmonton to do it

[Slegr]

Man, I feel so nervous right now. And I’ll either be super happy or super cranky for another two days depending on how the rest of this one goes. 

[XxNaslundxX]

The team showed composure through adversity invovling multiple unfair calls. Time to rally and dominate the third. We need the lead. LETS GO CANUCKS

I've never really understood all the hate he gets around here

 

I understand that much of it goes back to his rationalizing of the crap we dealt with years ago and his burrows rant and no love for his attempted apology

 

But all that aside, I always enjoyed his references to Canadiana, music, literature and other random stuff that at least offers a different style than most of the former players and insiders we're forced to endure

 

That said, how can you sit there and rattle off a litany of nonsense calls we've been given (or not given) and in the same breath say, But it's a great game??? No dude, it WOULD BE a great fucking game if the refs weren't making a massive joke of the greatest tournament on the planet (not just ours but many games have been clearly managed in favour of league favourites).

 

So, yeah, bite me Ron. Eat a bag of smashed and unwashed assholes

you don’t remember the actual hit piece on burrows? Backstabbing cherry after cherry went to bat for him to keep his job and many many more, FUCK RON!

[Bob Long]

Win it for Burr. 

[Ghostsof1915]

Zads for Ring of Honour.

Too soon?

[spook007]

McD and Dry looks tired.... if so we should win the series

[RWJC]

Hope everyone is enjoying the game!
I’ve added another Canuck fan to the fold tonight…soon they’ll have their own CFF profile and trashing the Coil! 
 

[whcanuck]

Crosby mostly grew out of the complaining and whining by the time he turned 20. By 21 he was a Cup champion. Comparing him to McDavid is an insult to Sid imo.

Yeah the NHL is definitely trying to fix this series for sure

 

seriously???

Charging???

 

the coiler dove… and Petey was standing still… 

that hit that Pettersson made was not a penalty

 

good fucking God…

 

The NHL is a fucking joke of a league thanks to Gary fucking Batman

 

An explanation was issued .....

 

Rule 42 of the NHL rulebook dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice."^[1] The infraction may warrant any severity of penalty or combination of penalties as the officials deem fit, including a major plus a game misconduct, or suspension if the infraction results in injury to the opposing player.

 

Petey jumped 6' into the air  -  adequate "distance traveled" to justify the call

Well he did and has so far. Still has a period to make up for it.

[Canucklehead]

Lets gooo. Win the third.
