WCSF: Vancouver Canucks [PAC1] vs Edmonton Oilers [PAC2] - Edmonton wins 4-3

[McG]

Referees last game: “you’ll never guess some of the worst ever calls I made.”

Referees this game: “hold my beer.”

[MonaTone]

I'm sure Ron will have a explanation about how given the rotation of the earth the call was actually correct because Peterson was the one moving relative to feogel

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Let's see if the refs' attempt to change momentum pays off.

Edit: I guess not.

[Zary's-Mustache]

Get Ian Cole off the ice. Holy crap he may be worst defenceman in the nhl.

[Slanter]

Here's the charging rule, in case anyone wants to try and interpret it. To me, it's ambiguous whether or not you can be called for a charge if you jump from a stationary position. I actually think the NHL might have to clarify the rule after this. And that's not ideal, you don't really want refs coming up with new interpretations in the middle of a playoff game.

Charging is the action where a player takes more than two strides or travels an excessive distance to accelerate through a body check for the purpose of punishing the opponent. This includes skating or leaving one's feet (jumping) into the opponent to deliver a check, accelerating through a check for the purpose of punishing the opponent, or skating a great distance for the purpose of delivering a check with excessive force. The onus is on the player delivering the check to avoid placing a vulnerable or defenseless opponent in danger of potential injury.

Yup, and Bob Stauffer will absolutely say that was either a good call or it was an elbow anyhow.

He's been the Oilers MVP this series.

There was no strides there or any distance at all.

[memphusk]

Yeah I don't know why Cole is playing at all. Full blown bum.

[topfiverecords]

Oh look another McDive

[jg13]

[WCW Nitro]

You know if the league was actually planning stuff they would have rigged the lottery so that McDavid goes to an Amercian team

[Zary's-Mustache]

What a dive are these refs dumb

[Rhett44]

Lmfao this is a joke.

[direwolf]

Another McPP? I don't believe it!

Even if the jumping thing was the reason for the call, EP didn't even jump into him, he basically just went straight up.

You know when you go on twitter and hockey follows from around the league are all saying it was a terrible call.........it was probably a terrible call.

[jg13]

call 2 for embellishment as well ffs

[Rejean31]

⁸how the #### can you not call McDavid for embellishment there?

[dissentowner]

There it is, the McDive

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Boy, McDavid stumbles a LOT.


Refs don't hesitate after that faux-charging call. Lmao
