What about cases where it's not a dive but the refs call it anyway because they don't want the Oilers down a man?
I wonder if the meeting addressed that scenario.

I just hope Bettman didn’t negate the effect of those warnings by having his own meetings with the officials saying “We need more scoring in these playoffs so start calling more penalties.”

If I had to guess, I assume Tocchet is talking about Filip Forsberg who I definitely didn't realize was a big diver until this series.

Cuthbert and Oake are good. I guess they come as a crew so we also get Simpson and he's good too, but I do like Debrusk more as a color guy.

Any clarity on what is going on with Demko? Usually a knee injury is a long term thing, but then saw the video of him skating a couple days ago... though now Tocchet saying he's not really close to being considered for the early games in the series. All kind of confusing to figure out what is really going on.

When I joined CP in 2011, I would've put Canucks on my most hated list--most of us might have then. Now, they seem a bit less awful, and they don't have two guys so heinous their contracts were voided plus Nurse and the Wonder Twins. Additionally, there's been so much cross pollination with Markie, Tanev, Zadorov, Lindholm plus even Toffoli for a bit that I've noticed my Nuck friends and I seem to loathe each other's teams a little less.

After this series though--right back to the hate. I don't think they've quite got what it takes right now to beat the greasers and the zebras--Pettersson is looking like their next Louis Eriksson contract (we can only hope) and Demko won't likely be back this series. Plus I think Vancouver's got a bit of that "just happy to get this far" vibe after last year.

I do think the longer layoff maybe helps them more. I do know who this hurts the most though: the Kings. Every extra day it takes the league to get to the very last game of the playoffs may cost L.A. millions in cap space and real money:

So that's another hilarious thing to watch.

I don't understand why people are upset with the break. It helps the Canucks more imo.

They just came off a bit of a physical and grueling series. The Oilers had a bye round and are completely healthy anyways.

As for the over-the-top love for McDavid from the panel, it is annoying. But they did that with Crosby too. We were just a bit more immune to it because most of us don't hate Pittsburgh as much as Edmonton.

I agree with you on waiting for McDavid to leave asap. Then at least we can maybe just appreciate a pretty good player.
Nice revisionist history there Oiler fan. The media never went as bat #### crazy over the top with Crosby as they have with McDavid. And Crosby is a winner. Stanley Cups, gold medals, none of which McOverhyped can lay claim to.

I was going to get onboard with the “hate on embellishment” train. Then I saw that Colin Campbell is the one talking. This is a guy who can’t discern kicking motion, pucks in the net, and many other things. He can’t discern diving.

It probably went more like this:

“Hi…is this Kevin? It’s Colin Campbell calling. Huh? No you didn’t send me down, that’s a different Campbell. Listen Kevin…yeah I got it. Thanks again. I’ve got your signed shirt hanging right here. I look at it whenever I have to make a call. Thank you…how can I repay you. Embezzlement? You have what problem? Yeah it’s bad. I’ll do a presser to tell people not to do that.”

“Hey guys…no embezzlement…embellishment.”
