Should be a satisfying reality check against Dallas next game, who are arguably the class of the west and coming in with a 7 game winning streak.
Provided they show up and put in effort. Not always a guarantee with them on home ice for some reason.

The Oilers have accomplished a lot by importing cagey old veterans who are buying what Knoblauch has to sell. But if McDavid and Draisaitl decide to tune the coach out, how long will that last?

He was also injured for a bit. Probably should have been playing less but since he's all they have they couldn't afford it.

Was this article comment you? I feel it was very fitting.

Flames scored a legit goal last week that the officials botched. I didn't see any Flames journalists make an article about it.

It’s utterly embarrassing. After writing there’s no point whining, the rest reads like satire.

Is Edmonton complaining about their goal being called back? What kind of glasses do you have to be wearing to not see the interference on the right (and lack of on the left)?

That’s gotta be troll baiting, there’s only one person I’ve seen online with that level of lack of understanding and he’s a devils fan who thinks a vezina quality goalie isn’t worth a 3rd line winger on a severely down year.

I think that either of those goals was called off is nonsense. Goalie interference is the most randomly applied rule in the game.

There's no doubt the NHL is not great at being consistent on these but if they are going to review goaltender interference then they have to call off the one goal seeing the Oiler player's skate clearly moved the goaltender out of position. That's a basic example of goaltender interference they would show officials in training.
