  1. The high stick on Stetcher wasn't the little cross-checking high-hit in your still frame, it happened after that when they were separated and Verhege's stick swung around and smacked him clean in the visor. NO QUESTION about that one. However, Stetcher forgot to throw his head back and hands up like a shooting victim. If he does that, maybe there's a call. Either way, it was a blown (non)call.

  2. so we use ankle weights for work outs. i think my oilers need to put them on the bottom of their sticks to keep the bloody sticks down, stop with the high sticking… use weights or a ton of tape

  3. Bruins fan here. Terrible officiating in this game! Looks like the NHL wants only American team$ to win the cup. I remember way back when, when the Bruins just could not catch a break against Montreal but now it's Canadian teams in general who cannot get fair treatment from the refs.

    I am still skeptical that Edmonton will be allowed to win this cup – but I hope I am proven wrong.

  4. Effing massive issue when nit was versus Toronto you were screaming about it but if it's 2 vs 15 in high sticks for the oil your like oh panthers r so good

  5. Stetcher wasn’t in because klingberg is bad, stetcher was in because Darnell nurse hasn’t been good enough. Somehow with stetch on the other side, nurse is lights out most nights.

  6. My headcanon is now Jack Marston giving up his western lawless ways and building a new life by becoming a full-time hockey enthusiast. That was the hardest I’ve laughed in a while; hell yeah brother. 18:55

  7. Good golly will people shut up about the officiating. The panthers are just better at getting away with some borderline dirty play while the oilers are just so obvious (cough cough kane cough draisaitl). The oilers just seem tired and lazy although they really turned things around in the 2nd.

    Feel bad for skinner but i was super impressed with edmontons coach for trying some things like going backup goalie and moving some bad performers down the bottom lines. Really respect him for taking those chances. The broadcasters didnt like the goalie move but i agreed, they needed a change and something to motivate them

  8. Sadly as a Rangers fan they did not win the cup in 1950 despite Raleigh having the two overtime goals. They lost game 7 in double OT to the Red Wings.

  9. Yes Steve, those Panthers are such great and amazing players that the refs played for them during the entire playoffs including the series against your team. Sure, it's all that super talent that works so well for them. Uh huh. Have you ever considered owning your own bridge? I happen to have one for sale and I know you'll just love it…

  10. It’s not a call because the Betman conspiracy theory is real. If the Panthers win this series I defy anyone to deny it in the light of the officiating. Every game in this series to this point has seen legit calls against the Oilers answered by illegitimate non-calls in favour of the Panthers. Every game, don’t talk to me, it’s real.

  11. Edmonton needs to go with Pickard the rest of the way. Pickard is a huge reason why Edmonton won Game 4 & we are not talking about Edmonton's season being on the line tonight. Edmonton plays better with Pickard in net

  12. I'd like to thank Taylor and Travis for showing up and jinxing the Pampers.
    Worked at the Super Bowl and worked again in game 4. Hopefully they make the trip to Edmonton.😂

  13. I don't care for either team, but there are quite a few players I dig, and many I don't care for, on both teams.

    That said, whenever I hear people discussing the refs, I immediately dismiss 99% of the commentary because it's usually one-sided confirmation bias complaining that makes me think of drunken clowns yelling about their favorite sports team, and that's it. But when I start watching closely, armed with a bit of knowledge about the sport, a couple friends of mine were pro, along with a bit of on-ice experience of my own, and I am unable to remain skeptical about what the refs are seeing on the ice, then look over the comment sections on social media and see an overwhelming voice of dismay regarding the refs, I gotta begin to think Florida hockey (and likely other Florida sports) is probably owned by the mob. Shit refs are one thing, continually bias refs in a pro sport is something entirely different. And though one might say "who cares, fuck those fans", it stains the whole league, and spreads like the plague.

    Need to start thinking about the online betting prominence in advertising. One might also note how researchers have been attempting to sound the alarm for a minute after studying countries who have slid into the dark ages due to gambling. Because murderous gangs fucking with your sports is how that shit begins ruining the shit we love, and can lead to far far worse problems in society.

  14. This series would already be over if the Oilers would just get their shit together and stay out of the box, but I guess that is Florida's "super power".

  15. Steve dangle why are Leaf fans so dumb everyone says trade Mitch Marner because he does not do nothing in the playoffs what is McDavid doing against the Florida Panthers nothing he has zero goals we are in Game 5 but yet let's trade Mitch Marner LOL
