  1. One thing I've learned about the Oilers is they complain about the Refs more than any other team in all of hockey. If you ask the Oilers, they have never actually lost a game.

  2. 🍷 complain it’s not going away. The puck hits elkhoms back, watch a better reply. McDavid calls the high stick but your player touch it after!!!! Gabe is allowed to play on. But since you didn’t see it your coach believes Connor over video. That just shows your mindset. Facts are facts, Toronto reviewed it what else. And the only reason they reviewed it was because a player raised his hand. Not one official on or off ice is going with connors hand raise. Players raise their hand all the time and are wrong. Video is not.

  3. the sweep begins for the Kings…you can't win games taking undisciplined penalties "Draisaitl"…put that humongous ego aside and quit being selfish…besides, the ref's are a biased lot…the Oilers are done!

  4. NHL has the worst officiating in professional sports. They honestly don't even care if its done right. Its either Mad Max or Judge Dredd out there.

  5. THE REASON WE LOST WAS CAUSE OF YOU LEON, you being damn OVER damn CONFIDENT and this is your damn fault we lost the supposed game 3 win bro!!!!

  6. This guy is a clown. He has serious angry issues or a huge Ego problem. He never changes, what's the point of doing so well in the season then throwing it all away because you cant control your Anger.

  7. Way to go buddy! You were saying about others being immature.. but F. We just F'ing scored….. Why be like that.. You lost it for the team tonight, when we could of won

  8. “Can definitely be smarter”…… lol no sh!t you said that 3 games ago. Keep taking stupid penalties dumb a$$.

  9. In 2011 when Nucks were in the final we had to deal with this same garbage. Pathetic. Gary Betman hates Canada.

  10. I know people are gonna comment on this with "Drai cost us the game with that penalty" as if it somehow negates the bullshit calls, and honestly that's a pretty reductive take if you ask me. It could have gone either or. They also could have bounced back and gotten two more goals. As evidenced by Wednesday's game.

    Also, I've seen far worse happen in previous games and none of the refs bat an eyelash. That was an even worse call than the "slash".

  11. Clearcut Slashing.
    Play stupid you lose games.
    A broken stick is all the evidence a referee needs.

  12. The standard is dont slash other players after you scored a goal. Celebrate with your teammates and continue to play the game.

  13. As a Kings fan I wasn't a fan of the officiating either from my admittedly Homer perspective both Nurse and Kane deserved major penalties for their attempts at injuring Arvidson and Doughty respectively which from my accounting is the 9th and 10th time in the last 2 months or so that LA could or should have been awarded a major/match PP and weren't it has been frustrating to see players get hurt sans proper officiating but it happens can't dwell on it LA needs 2 more if they are physical and stay hitting they stand a good chance but all things considered these have been 3 fantastic hockey games here's to Matt Roy being the most underrated player in the game

  14. "Is this a game of solutions here, do you guys have to find a few of them?" Wow. What a bunch of soft questions. Are Edmonton reporters afraid to hurt the players' feelings?

  15. Not ur fault Drai. Refs in this series don’t know what a penalty is. Pathetic, poverty team the kings are can only win through refs and crutches

  16. Funny how this clown is talking about refs shouldn’t call those penalties, but was ok with ardvdsson getting called for shooting stick penalty, TAKE THE L , and get better, not just say your better, GKG

  17. LA not playing hockey coz they know they
    cannot beat you guys so they enrolled for acting workshop for only a couple of days to see if it’s going to work
    And so far , refs are buying it. GoOilers
    Play hockey be the most disciplined team Coz most of them (LA) not playing hockey anymore😂. More on facial expressions.. 😂😂😂

  18. It's OKEY boys…There is always a bad and GOOD Karma…Just re-group, IGNORE the Refs…Play Hard Boys…And NO MORE bad Penalties. And much better have a Discipline play in entire 60 minutes….OILERS in 6. 👍👍👍💪💪💪💥

  19. Reffing will be bad no matter what. The Oilers have to overcome it and not take bad penalties no matter how stupid it is.

  20. This is the 3rd game out of 3 where the Oilers have outplayed LA for the majority of the game, yet they have lost 2 of the three games. Oilers had the lead in ALL 3 games. Its a bad omen to keep losing games in which you have the lead. It ain't the reffing, its the Oilers repeated refusal to play disciplined – especially after they get the lead. The Draisaitl and overtime penalties were stupid, not to mention Ceci letting Kempe get behind him – its like football defense, you NEVER let a receiver get behind you…its usually fatal.

  21. the reffing is very bizarrre in this series so far, to say the least. is this playoff hockey, regular season hockey, or something else? i can't really tell honestly, just make the same calls both ways.

  22. It goes both ways, Oilers had 4 powerplays of their own tonight as well
