Someone should make a highlight package of the McDavid dives for YouTube.
Don’t forget to include him throwing up his arms exasperated at & embarrassing the refs non-calls… literally the opposite of what every minor hockey coach teaches their players to not be a pathetic whining poor-sports.
Don't get me wrong, I am very happy the Oilers got screwed, however I think Makar is just insanely lucky he didn't touch the puck. I don't think that was intentional at all.
They got the call right by the letter of the rule, but that really doesn't feel like what the spirit of the rule is. It was the right call on a technicality, but I have a hard time not believing he didn’t intend to have possession or attempted possession.
If this had happened to the Flames we'd be livid right now.
I remember a similar play against us a couple years ago, and I remember being livid. However, looking back at the rule, and the no touch, it was the right call. Same thing here.

I think the Oilers were very fortunate to get back in this game...Avs were totally owning the 3rd and they got a break on a hurt player and a perfect fluke bank pass from Kassian and then a PP on a massive dive.
Before that they had like 2 shots in the 3rd and the Avs had multiple breakaways
watched the game at a pub in victoria tonight. the entire bar was pro oilers except a few college girls who i have to assume are from calgary cheering against the oilers. it was nice being super obnoxious everytime the avs scored just because #### the oilers.
i really hope this is a short series i cannot stand smug woodcroft acting like hes a genius mastermind everytime he pulls out a win on a record breaking game from mcdavid or drat
