Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 23” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Refs are a joke and so is the Toronto office, it’s corrupt all the way.
Oh now you want to talk about the referees? Meanwhile when the Isles got screwed you barely mentioned it.
Oh look…. Another Canadian complaining about the officiating. 🙄
Edmonton, despite being the better team in the series is self destructing because they are not playing disciplined hockey. The calls have all been warranted. A bunch of slashing and cross-checking penalties tell me the Oiler Goon Squad are digging their own graves. I don’t even like the Kings. As a SJ Sharks fan they’re one of our biggest rivals. I just am sick of everyone crying the Kings haven’t laid down and allowed Connor McDavid to put on a show. Sorry you groupies aren’t getting assist from the refs and have to actually earn it. If it’s any consolation at least ALL the ESPNTSN National Announcers share your groupie crushes on the oilers and can’t stop blowing your wads all over your McDreamy analysis.
God, it sickens me to say this but — GOOOOO KINGS!!!!
Oilers keep complaining but they never mention the bad calls that go their way or calls that were missed on them too.
The refs haven’t gotten worse, we have. We nit pick everything and expect the game to be fair. It never was and it never will be. Enjoy the game and let it go. Oilers fans mad about a high stick… why aren’t you mad at Nurse for a bad defense play to let it in? Don’t make a video about the refs unless is about us the fans!
It takes away from what it means to win the cup. Honestly the last handful of teams were carried by the refs. It's all about gate and gambling revenue.
Here’s the thing. I’ve noticed that officiating for some ungodly reason seems to biased towards the American teams. My dad said it’s been like this ever since betman took over which makes sense considering it’s been 30 years since a Canadian teams won the cup
Current society….its the refs fault, its the Kings fault, blaming everyone except themselves. According to media, Edmonton was going to have no problems with the Kings 4-1 at most. Easy peasy. Why don't the Oilers step up, take blame, and play better. Don't give the refs a chance to make a call, score 6 or 7, you are capable. Otherwise, in a few games you can pick up your participation awards. P.S. The high stick is the definition of inconclusive half the people see it one way, the other half see it another. If it was called on the ice, it wouldn't have been overturned. The league needs to revisit the video reviews and limit it to plays that effect the immediate goal or call. IMO
The thing is refs make mistakes but this one was costly, and not because it's the Oilers it could of been any team and was. This game could of cost a team the Standley Cup. What every team wants is calls being called fare, if you don't know what off side is or high sticking or any other penalty is then I would suggest you refs go back and learn a little more before you become a referee.
The leafs are 0-8 in the playoffs when Wes McCauley is reffing. I really don’t think it’s a coincidence. He should not be allowed to ref leafs games. His bias is too blatant.
I watched the oilers vs kings game 3, and the amount of diving by the kings was actually ridiculous and a shame to the game. If anything the kings should’ve been on the PK more for diving
i also miss the days when the refs just let players play when the playoffs come around.
i really just typed "play" three times.
however, what is this about video evidence the refs didnt see proving it was a high stick? i didnt see anything online like that. and i looked. now, first of all, it doesnt matter. the game is over and the refs didnt get this mythical camera angle (that was probably some dude's phone camera, if it exists at all), the point is to find conclusive evidence, not "the truth". there is a difference. i said first of all, but i dont have anything to add. it was the right call.
just saying i wanna know what u would look like if nurse hit u like that when u didnt expect it
There’s no crying in hockey. Last playoff the Oilers got away with a ton of physical infractions. They lost to the Kings and came up with the solution to rough up the Kings at every turn. And they got away with it. This year the Kings evolved and this is their response.
Also, all of the Oiler fans who keep using the “the puck changed vector so therefore high stick”…the puck changes vector due to something called gravity.
This feels a bit like 2012 where Vancouver was the villain and everyone suddenly was a Kings fan…the enemy of my enemy.
They either start calling everything or nothing. None of this game management nonsense.
It's tough to watch. I don't think the nhl wants Canadian teams winning and if you frame the reffing in that context suddenly alot of it makes sense. At some point we need to have some accountability. I knew that was high sticked when it happened and I said to my partner in the review that it was going to be a no call.
Imagine how many 5 on 3s the kings would get if draisaitl and kane got called for all there crap
Lol every time blame the refs
Power plays 5-4 but it’s the refs fault the oilers have no depth scoring
Canada's Game, Leave it alone…you the game alone.
I’m almost certain you wouldn’t be complaining if LA was getting “hosed”
