This video made me forget about all the business. Now I have a new goal to laugh more and share joy💖
Go Edmonton!
From a disgruntled Canucks fan, I have no choice but to be captivated by the Oilers recent performances. Just fun hockey to watch, take it the distance boys.
We’ve always known how good Jacob Slavin is here in Carolina. The rest of the world found out at the Four Nations— something we’ve known all along ❤
We love Jack Michaels 🙂
Lol leafs take down cats gm1 but oilers buzzin
Bennett barely brushed Stolarz with his elbow. Connor Brown was pushed into the goaltender.
Jack michaels can do no wrong
all this BS is good for Bennett's contract extension only because he is not being suspended by the DoPS!
Parros leading DoPS is the inmates running the prison.
Love how people keep writing off the Oil before they even begin a series….keep it coming!😅
A little shocked and very disappointed by your (and many other insiders) Stone Age take on the Bennett play. The NHL has clearly decided to condone & encourage violence. I am a passionate Leaf hater and even I feel a minimum of 1 game (I thought he deserved to be gone for the series). Parros is a clown. He's proven that over and over again. That he doesn't take into account injury, history, reputation as a excuse to permit and encourage violence and thuggery doesn't make it right.
Back to the play, this is NOT a hockey play. If you watch the replay Bennett takes the shot, the puck is gone and the elbow/forearm gets extended to make contact with the back of Stolarz head. Think about the mechanics of a leftie shooting…. the left hand gets extended, before release and then the left hand comes back. There's no reason for the right arm to be extended unless is was 100% intentional. The intent is 100% to make contact with a defenseless player (a key player… as you said "like a QB"). Also note Bennett path… the puck had gone the other way, he had room to turn north but he intentionally continues through the blue paint.
This was 1000% intentional attempt to initiate contact with a defenseless player. The point of contact is the head. This deserved a harsh suspension. Bennett is a repeat offender – maybe not by Parros lax standards – but by any reasonable standard. Panthers MO is if a player is in the way, break the rules and eliminate that player and dare the NHL to act…. cause you know they wont.
If I'm the Leafs…. cue Ryan Reaves. Owner will pay you $1million once your career is done. You sit on the bench until the game is decided and you run Bobrovsky. All media prior to game…. The NHL asked for this. The NHL wants this. The NHL encouraged this. This is on the NHL. They own this.
a lot of folks seem to forget that Slavin won the accuracy shooting contest at the ASG a few years ago.
Kane, Frederick and Klingberg all the way!!!
Is that really Bukauskas ? He sounds for more mature.
if Vegas can't get pucks on the net, Edmonton will win the series.
But I wouldn't count on that game happening again.
That story about the mouth guard reminds me of the story Doug McLain told about a game that he coached in college where the referee was going to disqualify their team if they didn’t all have mouth guards. He said that the players swapped mouth guards as they got on and off the ice because they only had like seven mouth guards total.
The fact the you enjoy cheap shots, dirty play and players who practice as much is sad.
Jack is a Oil hater, and surprised Louie not far behind…lol…Always telling weird stories even when game goin on….FYI, I watch game with no volume, jus turn it up when Oil score…lol
