Yeah, completely unnecessary and dangerous

At worst it's a double minor. 5 is a bit much. Either way, this could be the game right here. If the Oilers end up tying or getting the lead due to this PP, I predict they'll be heading back to Dumpsterville with the 3-2 series lead.

No such thing as a double minor for anything other than high sticking

[ikaris]

More importantly is Ekholm done? That’s a massive momentum shift if so. That guy somewhat stabilized the Oilers D.

I think it’ll depend on how Skinner seems to be after this game, and depending on if the Oilers lose. It’ll definitely be a lot of pressure on a young goalie. The team will have to see how he is in practice at that point. To check his mental fortitude.

With the score…..and the predicament that the Oilers were going to be in, entering the third period, you have to be SMARTER than that.

That’s the right call and very very few dislike the Oilers more than I.

Let's not go crazy now.

Dude's been pulled a lot.

Can't imagine his head is in a good place.

He saw his back towards him and still blasted him into the boards. Whinging about consistency has nothing to do with this hit.

[dino7c]

Vegas just had a 5 on 3 too...####ing moron

Why do teams always do this against the Oilers

You guys are right, I stand corrected. My bad.

I’d be curious to see how the team feels when it’s Skinner or Campbell in net. I’ve been on teams in my past where both tenders were ok or hit and miss. So you’d just literally go game by game. It would actually make us play tentative.

Which hit?

And whataboutism is never an argument. This was objectively a penalty, and I have no issue calling it 5 and a game. I would demand the same if any hit was delivered to any Flames player under any circumstance.

[midniteowl]

5 min, 2 min, still a stupid penalty to take with that little time left in the period and your team is holding a 2 goals lead. Just dumb.

[flamingred89]

Vegas is going to be lucky if they get out of this tied. Unreal.

NHL rule book states you can get double minors for the following:

Butt-ending (rule 58)
Delay of Game (rule 38)
Head-butting (rule 47)
High sticking (rule 60)
Spearing (rule 62)

[Jacks]

Big kill time, make it so.


A shorty would be nice.

[direwolf]

If Vegas kills this off, it'll be a miracle.

[CroFlames]

I’d love for a ref to have the balls to give McDavid a minor for not doing up his fight strap.
