You often cheer for our biggest rival?

Oilers still lose this game.

I think I heard a couple of good Flames comments just lately. Haha.

Why do Oilers celebrate like they won the cup every goal

Ever wonder why Nurse is such a little bitch? It’s because he spent his youth getting dunked on by his sister.

Ugh, that's probably game. LA's special teams are terrible. They need to try and keep it 5 on 5.

[DoubleK]

Those goals remind me of what Washington did to Fleury. Make him move across the ice and shoot it at his ears.

[Macindoc]

I can’t tolerate any more of Sportsnet’s Oilers fellation. Going to find something remotely enjoyable to watch.

If Smith quits diving, they will.

Ha! It won't be a BOA, it will be a BAR (Battle Against Refs)

that's what frustrating, they were doing really good at that, a clear dive by Smith put them on the PP and changed the game.

The nhl will fix officiating and it will be more penalties until teams realize you can’t mug your way to a Stanley cup anymore.

Lol, you really think constant penalties is gonna build veiwers? They lose veiwers as teams get eliminated.

[Manhattanboy]

In a BOA series I could see myself murdering a ref or two.

[direwolf]

Smith's dive completely changed the game. Kings are unravelling now.

Penalties were already 2-0 so the refs didn't have the guts to call the dive too.

Nah they lose viewers when talent gets eliminated. No one watches someone like St. Louis mug their way to a Stanley cup.

You think the media harping hard on the refs and then the refs calling a lot of penalties isn’t linked?

Anecdotally I don’t know a single person who watches hockey playoffs if their team isn’t in it. But every basketball or nfl fan I know watches basically all the rounds.

I recognize that you need to say that because it currently benefits your team.

Fact is, playoff hockey WAS the best post season in all of sport. Why? Because the NHL let the teams decide the outcome. It was ####ing tough hockey that certainly pushed the rules to the max. It forced GM's to actually BUILD a team that was well rounded and could play in both ends. Hard work paid off.

Now? Have you watched the games? The life has been sucked out of it. And if you support that, I question both your knowledge and passion of the game.

Smith is going to eff up. I know this to be true.
