Wow more then half of those were iffy penalty calls at best, this is nitpicking of the highest order by a fan not a journalist. If you go back and go through the game with a fine tooth comb, I'm sure you can find a dozen of the same nitpicking plays that the Oilers were guilty of and weren't called. I guess you want a NBA McDavid rule where you put a gold helmet on McDavid and if any one breathes on him the play stops and a penalty is given. If you want the NHL refs to start calling that stuff on McDavid then you have to accept that they're going to call the same level against the Oilers. And with the league's 4th worst penalty kill, I doubt you want to get into that battle. I wonder Staples, was that video made by the Oilers propaganda department and sent to you?

I hope Stephen Walkom and his crew see this tweet, share a tremendous belly laugh, and proceed to call even fewer infractions than before.
official Oilers coverage is 100% indistinguishable from the wildest of HF posters. that is so amazing.

Someone should post a video of the missed call on Johnny when he was manhandled, and the garbage call that awarded McDavid a penalty shot on the adjacent play a few years ago.
There are plenty others

I'm not convinced the refs don't still hold a grudge against Calgary over Wideman...but videos like this are the best thing for us. This staples "explosive" video just is an attempt to show-up the refs. And we all know who is behind it.
This gives the refs someone new to hate and hopefully they forget about the flames.

The Refs had a valid grudge against Wideman/The Flames. Its still up in the air and regardless of my own personal opinion I can understand them being upset about the entire affair.
But this video? It reminds me of the Sharks and Canucks from almost a decade ago. They demand every tiny little infraction to be called for a powerplay because their abilities 5-on-5 were atrocious and their only hope was special teams.
And the NHL has been trending that way, but I hope it stops.
Special Teams are important, but they shouldnt be the 'Be-all and end-all.'

It would be interesting to get some context to see if the number of penalties per game has increased or not. Also, it would be nice to know which team draws the most penalties.
EDIT: found the stat for which team draws the most penalties. Oilers are 20th.

"Calgary has been the better franchise for many years. They are not anymore, and are firmly in the chase position from this point forward."

Wow, that video is embarrassing even for Coiler fans. There was maybe one penalty in there - the high stick on McDavid that he snapped his head back on. Of course, that could have been (and likely was) an embellishment. Why embellishment you ask? Well, two seconds later there was the very obvious dive by McDavid where his feet somehow magically go straight out in front of him on what the naive or idiotic think is a hook or trip.
For Staples to give that video any credibility is ludicrous, but we shouldn't be surprised by it.
Maybe the Identity Line can pick up the slack for McDavid and continue on their torrid pace of... nothing. A very good representation of the Coilers Identity for sure.

That is one of those articles, along with the 'thing or 2 about winning video', the bold moves statement and other hilarious Oilers things that will go down in history.

He should be kicked in the face with that quote every day.
"Hey! How are we doing chasing the Oilers? Are we doing well? Have we caught them yet? Oh....the only way we can catch the Oilers is by lapping them?
You know, I dont think we can really commit to sucking for a few decades just to even the playing field for the Oilers. They already got four #1 draft picks so I dont see anyone challenging them for the 'Toilet-Bowl Crown.'

He doesn't just give it credibility. Staples calls it "explosive video!" ... of "clear violations!"

These clowns are easily the most pathetic franchise in all of sports (their propaganda/media wing included.) Staples in particular is an embarrassment to his profession.

I got a laugh out of that too. Like he's comparing it to the Zapruder film.
