Also, that was a pretty dirty slew foot by Eckholm. Fitting right in, I see.
I thought he pushed DeSmith's pad into the net as well - was never even brought up by either the commentators, nor HNIC (you can rest assured that if that was a Flames goal, there would have been an inquiry).

Then after the game, they had a fairly lengthy discussion about whether the late interference call on McDavid was warranted. Like are you fricking kidding me? He put his shoulder into the guy. If you want to debate a call involving McDavid, how about the one where he hugs Joshua and Joshua gets a penalty for it?

HNIC used to have a biased slant towards the Oilers (and Leafs), but they have just stopped pretending and have gone full on homers this year.
