He was probably on a word count limit and ran out of space, and couldn't fit in the part where McDavid didn't take a penalty or penalty shot on Kesler's breakaway.
The comments section is what I imagine HF to look like.
So who else is checking this thread periodically just waiting to see what Thisisanoutrage comes up with?

I didn't watch all the highlights, but that screen by Perry was perfect. That is about as close as you can get to the line without crossing it. I hate him (although I know I would love him on the Flames), but damn he is good at what he does. Talbot's foot was sticking out of the crease. The little nudge he gave it was small enough that it didn't really impede Talbot from making the save, but was probably enough to distract him mentally. Too small to notice in real time, and small enough that incidental is plausible.
Seriously, if you need to review the thing with a microscope, then it defeats the spirit of the rule. Same thing with the supposed "potential offside". We were also scored on when a similar thing happened in this playoffs and most people agreed that if you need to get a micrometer out and consult Olympic figure skating judges, it probably isn't a meaningful way of enforcing the rule.

Lucic’s luck changes. First Ryan Kesler tipped him the puck for a good bounce goal, then Lucic levelled a nasty crosscheck on Nate Thompson of the Ducks, which for once wasn’t called as a penalty.
In an article ranting about how the refs screwed you, you put this gem.
I've been in Edmonton all week and the fans are bitter today. Nobody is talking about anything except how the refs screwed them over last night. I just politely smile and nod.
If I never see another Oilers car/truck flag it will be too soon. I'm making this post from the hotel restaurant and the wifi password is 'gooilers'. Hurts every time I have to enter that.

Looking forward to the Ducks hopefully wrapping this up in game 6 so the universe can finally be restored to it's rightful balance. And then hopefully they destroyed by the Preds in round 3.

I'm not even going to open that and I know its Staples.
Every time the Oilers win its due to their sheer awesomeness, which, considering their past decade is a dubious term to throw around regarding the Oilers, but when they lose they've been screwed by the same system and organization that has handed them 4 #1 Draft Picks and the softest schedule in the league this season.
Talk about idiots biting the hand that feeds.

Yes, the fans of a team that was given four 1st overall picks in a six year span (including a generational talent like McDavid) should be the last ones complaining about a conspiracy to see them lose.
There is just nothing humble about that fanbase.

While listening to the fan960 morning show today several Oiler fans were texting in complaining that they don't talk enough about the Oilers. Don't these Orange Crush clowns have their own radio station? Its funny how they expect CALGARY FLAMES RADIO to gush about their team. E=NG. Also it was great listening to Boomer and Warrener trolling Oiler fans.
