The refs keep that #### up we’re 100% f____d
How can you stop him if you can’t lean on him (he flops theatrically)
You can’t skate stride for stride
You can’t poke because he’s got your stick in his hand/armpit.

Saw that too. Hope the flames are sending footage to the reffing supervisor as that directly led to a big Oilers goal.
I’d agree that Gaudreau seemed to embellish after getting cross checked but what’s frustrating is McDavid did exactly the same thing the other night and there was no penalty. Had a bad feeling about the way the game was going after that call - you could just tell this was gunna be one where the refs wanted to make a statement.
