yeah I 've seen lots of complaining about this one online don't really get it...would have screwed the Flames for sure had they called icing and it stood- oilers would get a timeout and faceoff in Flames end
it was a dumb whistle but once it happened seems like a neutral to me- yes oilers lose auto possession but they got the puck to center and the time out for their big guns
Loooooob wins the PGT with his Connor power rankings. GOLD!!!

Love the pack mentality this group showed tonight...fumbled the puck all over the ice at times...stuck with it....got hemmed in...just worked harder and smashed bodies wherever they could to loosen the puck. For the most part it was pretty effective, and in some ways reminded me of Hartley's Flames.
The Oilers are in fine shape, they got Stan look the other way Bowman running the show, he's no Ken Holland but who is? was it Stan who brought in future norris trophy winner Ty Emberton (sp)?
"They’re not looking for excuses, but a team that has given up six goals in five of the nine games they’ve played so far this fall is looking for answers.
Chicago is in on Saturday, then Calgary Sunday.
You couldn’t ask for two less dangerous opponents against which to right the ship."

Not only did McDavid not score that, it also showcased his lackluster defense all the way down the ice and in their zone.
No way sportsnet going to run that tape on repeat. You’re going to have to take a secret elevator down 58 flights and then pass through 12 vaults before you find that footage ever again.
It was amazing (though not at all surprising) to watch DeBrusk and Monster Truck talk about the play without specifically mentioning McDavid. DeBrusk said something like " a couple guys might like that play back, defensively" but under no circumstances was he going to be the one to say McDavid got beaten twice on that play (and both were beyond lazy).

Anderson now tied for D lead in points and NHL lead in plus minus
McDavid last in league in plus minus (after 3 games there is a 10 goal differential between the 2 of them)
Flames with as many points as McDavid- 10. includes Jake Bean who was scratched tonight
Flames with as many points as Draisaitl 14- including now Kirkland!
Flames with as many points as as Hyman , Arvidsson, Bouchard, Nurse , Janmark, Brown, Henrique (etc etc). all.
