The thing is the refs do have a tough job. The game is so fast now and if we didnt have slow motion replays we wouldnt see shit either. The only way this would ever get better is to have refs watching the games and calling things from hq.
Canucks fans acting like their team are the Angels out there. It’s nice to see the Oilers getting into the trenches with the other teams for once. They didn’t deserve game one or two, be happy you’re tied at one nucks.
Fixed games are part of the NHL
Excellent analysis
lots of stuff goes uncalled but the high stick is just inexcusable. Hughes was even forced back to the bench because he was still leaking when he tried to come out for a shift. A 4 min powerplay with mcdavid in the box would have completely shifted the momentum of the game.
That so many ignoramus hockey fans here try to defend the reffing by trying to justify the Oilers 100% deserved to win this game, just shut the fuq up, that's not how sports work. 🤦♂ There are plenty of instances where the more dominant team lost a game they probably should have won.
I love your breakdown and I love how you educate everyone on different defenses and offenses and strategies to defend both. Love the nicknames for everybody and teams alike. Especially your Toronto parade update which is officially canceled. Let’s go Edmonton come on guys let McDavid get his flowers.
I love your site. I don't have time to watch all of the games, but you manage to put together a great synopsis of the games. Thank you.
Mc david tired of getting run and interfered with constantly gives back a bit itvisnt a right move but i can understand his frustration probably 10 no calls on penalties prior to this
Refs this year have been absolutely HORRIBLE.
Reminiscent of the Gretzky high stick on Gilmour.
“Missed tripped on McDavid after goal” that’s… that’s not a penalty
Great job at breaking down offensive and defensive systems. The playoffs are truly a chess match and favors teams that can adapt on the fly.
That zadorov goal was pathetic. Is skinner even capable of reacting??? slow shot, perfect LOS.. all he needs to do is shrug his shoulders..
The officiating in the post season is horrible. You could do episode just on blown calls alone. Not sure whos worse the NHL or the NBA 😂. The NHL should be ashamed of itself…. but it thinks its 💩 don't stink.
Really great breakdown.
Great analysis – consider name change to "Hockey Professor". Anyways, I think the lousy officiating is a Bettman365 'play' – make the officiating so terrible for both Canadian teams to beat each other up and injure there star players so that whichever team goes on to face Stars/Avs is wrecked. I am an Oiler fan and thought that high stick should have been called on McDavid. But then there where so many non-calls on the Canucks as well. Disgraceful NHL which puts entertainment first, competition second, and Canadian teams last. BTW, new sub!
There was missed calls on both sides ..but an obvious high stick by McDavid on Hughes that drew blood could have changed the outcome of the game….the coaches should be able to go to review video in such a case where the "REFS"…."SAY" they didn't see it.
Kelly Sutherland is an undercover Oilers player. Kelly played well for the Oilers.
Are we ever gonna get a video about the panthers by chance? I know there's been controversial calls in that series and I'm a panthers fan. Many calls for us not called and against… additionally. I'd love to know how the panthers are pulling this off in depth from you. You have a great insight to the game and for someone still finding new ways to learn about the game hearing from you would be great!
calling vans powerplay lethal at 12% is crazy
Missed double minor has a 6% impact on the amount of men on the ice for the total game. Bettman is a joke
As the psychotic Barry Melrose said many years ago, the league should take the rule book and toss it in the trash. There are no rules like there is no spoon.
High sticks and boarding .. those missed calls definitely changed the outcome of this game.
6:59 beautiful shot of heads-up crossovers to create speed into the O-zone. The flying-V's got nothing on that.
Look at it this way and savor this: A game two loss means that now they can bring the series win home in game 5!
The referees really need to be held accountable, just like the players. If a player messes up he gets fined. It REALLY should be the same for the referees.
Oilers in 6 or less, bring on the silent killers aka the stars 🫡.
Oilers win 5-2 tonight.
McJesus
Hyman x2
Playoff Kulak
Brown
Non-call on McJesus, right? Connor can no wrong.because the NHL wants him to succeed in the playoffs. Ref Sutherland? Should be his last game reffing! He was awful
That high stick might just be what costs Edmonton the season ,lets see how Vancouver responds to it…..
It’s a good series this shit happens in all playoff sports missed calls always happen for every missed call Canucks cry about oilers can match their missed calls. Fans will always cry when their on the losing benefit of that side and when they’re on the winning side will say their is missed calls on both sides it’s a pointless complaint this shit been happening for a century the game isn’t rigged unless it was rigged back in the 30s same shit different year.
Bruh… the high stick drew blood. Like??? What else do you need?
NHL has been controversial since inception – just look at the history of why Montreal Canadiens have so many Cups – Why Gary Betman focuses on USA cities and ever since the lockout – they've increase their influence
The list goes on
Hitting hogs in the battery is brad Marchand level of dirty
Oilers fans are so quick to say “missed calls on both sides, so it was a fair win”. But if McDavid was slew footed, bloody high sticked, and draisitl was boarded neck first, and they lost in OT they would be so pissed 😂 typical backward Alberta logic
my girlfriend hates the oilers, I dont mind them so this is a funny series for me since she wants the canucks to win the whole thing since uhh the leafs are out (pain, immense pain).
I mainly watch Hockey in germany (since I am german). I do follow the NHL loosely, without any alliance to any team, so I'd consider myself rather objective.
What pisses me off personally in both leagues however is the ref game. I don't really know if they are simply bad, or if the league orders them to do what they do, or both.
True however is that I see to many games with missed calls, wrong calls or simply no clear consistency when it comes to calls in general. To many games where I think: if you call this 2 minutes, you need to call every other one as well, or you simply lose your way, and the players have no clue what to do.
What I also hate is when commentators state that you "don't call a penalty in the last minutes of game" or in overtime to "let the players find the winner themselfs". Dude, either you play fair or not, if you don't, you have to be called on your play. (consistent to the rest of the game, obviously, if there would be such a thing)
To me, the refs often destroy a good game or series simply because there are so many issues, and a great sport gets frustrating to watch.
I think the NHL is going to win the cup.
It's good to know no matter the team sport.. ref's suck everywhere.
If there is one domain I can’t wait for AI to take over is NHL officiating
God it’s awful and nothing can be done because of the union and a every unions, it protects the worst ones
Bears vs Cats has had some horrendous officiating.
Bruins are playing bad but the refs have been killing their chance at even getting into the series
McDagger got what he deserves at the end of game 3
You either throw the whistle away or you call everything. There is not much room for middle ground.
97 can draw blood with no call, but accidently cross tapping him in the face is a suspension 👍
The Ian Cole joke has aged so well! Wild stuff! I don't think I have ever seen 3 in 3 games!
@Hockey Psychology When is the recap video coming out that usually comes out on sunday?
