Edmonton is No Good XI: Mud, Sweatpants and Tiers

Oilers on a crash course to meet a healthy Vegas team in round one.

Should be a satisfying reality check against Dallas next game, who are arguably the class of the west and coming in with a 7 game winning streak.

Provided they show up and put in effort. Not always a guarantee with them on home ice for some reason.

The Oilers have accomplished a lot by importing cagey old veterans who are buying what Knoblauch has to sell. But if McDavid and Draisaitl decide to tune the coach out, how long will that last?

He was also injured for a bit. Probably should have been playing less but since he's all they have they couldn't afford it.

Just embarrassing ‘journalism’ from Spector.

From the blog "It’s just the way it is these days, folks. You win some, you lose some. There’s no point whining about it."

"No point in whining about it, but i'll write a blog whining about it" - Mark Spector

And what does this even mean?

"Yes, there was contact. But not enough that Binnington — a serial reactor — had any reaction that belied being interfered with."

But remember. Spector isn't a fan but just a neutral journalist

Was this article comment you? I feel it was very fitting.

‘There’s no point whining about it.’ And then write 500 words about it.

Flames scored a legit goal last week that the officials botched. I didn't see any Flames journalists make an article about it.

Wasn't me, but I agree.

The two calls that Spector/SN decided it was worthy to write a full article complaining about.

Hilarious stuff.

It’s utterly embarrassing. After writing there’s no point whining, the rest reads like satire.

One of these had no impact on the goal and one of these did. I'll let Spec guess which is which.

I clicked on it and it turns out I blocked that guy before.

I’ve…. Never had an easier time guessing correctly. These aren’t even the same…

Didn't watch the game. I thought this was going to be a thing where the one on the right looks like it should have been the disallowed goal, but it was actually the one on the left.

Is Edmonton complaining about their goal being called back? What kind of glasses do you have to be wearing to not see the interference on the right (and lack of on the left)?

[PaperBagger'14]

That’s gotta be troll baiting, there’s only one person I’ve seen online with that level of lack of understanding and he’s a devils fan who thinks a vezina quality goalie isn’t worth a 3rd line winger on a severely down year.

Is Edmonton ever not complaining?

[Coach]

I think that either of those goals was called off is nonsense. Goalie interference is the most randomly applied rule in the game.

There's no doubt the NHL is not great at being consistent on these but if they are going to review goaltender interference then they have to call off the one goal seeing the Oiler player's skate clearly moved the goaltender out of position. That's a basic example of goaltender interference they would show officials in training.
