Looking at a few Oilers media accounts this morning and they sure have had a weird, albeit typical Oilers reaction.
1. Don't say anything and hope nobody noticed the kick;
2. Everyone settle down, we need more camera angles to see if there was even a kick;
3. Okay, there was a kick but we need more camera angles to see if if made contact:
4. Okay, Kassian admits he made contact but he was just getting his leg free:
5. Allright, the video clearly shows Kassian's leg was free before the kick, but really it wasn't that hard;
6. Fine, its bad, but Chara's completely unrelated cross check is way worse;
7. My personal favourite where Staples agrees that hockey players are dumb and make mistakes and it's just "good old hockey";
Next up, after the suspension is announced there will be a coordinated Oilers media effort to push the narrative about how the league is out to get them and it's unfair, and they would be a dynasty if only people weren't so mean to them.
