An 89-second stretch saw the Oilers allow three goals and shifted the momentum in Game 5 as the Golden Knights now take a 3-2 series lead. Tony Brar and Jack Michaels recap from Las Vegas, NV.
I watched both games tonight and I have to say this in reference to the Leafs game, just in case the next night goes the same as this one.
Non-calls, bad calls, and lopsided suspensions. "They can't review it if it's not called in the first place." It might as well be called the Cheater's Cup because Lord Stanley not only rolled over, he got up and left, utterly disgusted with what the "playoffs" have turned into.
Unfortunately, the only thing I see nowadays are the NHL officials, constantly manufacturing the drama and deciding the winner.
Any team has a legitimate chance to win, they tell us. Parity, they tell us.
And then I see what I saw tonight and I remember what happened last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and the year before that, and so on, and so on, and so on.
I don't watch the NFL, I don't watch MLB, I don't watch the NBA, and I can't ignore it anymore. As it turns out, the NHL is no different than the rest of them. Proudly american.
Good luck to you, Oilers, the rest of the way and hopefully you don't get injured and have your lives ruined by some "player safety" meatheads who only care about money and don't give enough of a crap about players severely injuring their co-workers to actually enforce the same parity in the rules.
It was a truly great season and a very fun ride. I'll definitely be here for the end of it!
eichel pulls a guy around the boards like a utility trailer and oilers get penalty for it. ref on other end of the ice made the call. i'm bored of this

is the nhl the most fixed "sport"? oiler outplayed vgk all night. i feel bad for the team. even when they crush refs make sure they cant win.
Oilers are done, just don't have that extra gear to dig deep..to win. Series is over..was a good run.
Funny whenever Oilers lose they blame the refs even when they got 3 powerplay goals, maybe try scoring 5v5
Well it was a good while it lasted🤦🏽
LETS GO OLIERS
A failure to come out and hit cost them the game. That's it.
I'm speechless as to why Jay would change things up from a proven winning formula all because the Knights are full of crybabies… Just ridiculous.
