No love for Edmonton?

 

Nobody is stopping that Oiler offence. I hope Dallas gets swept 

 

Yes, hope the Oilers sweep Dallas and then beat Florida. I would like Florida to have another short summer so maybe they start off next year badly.

The first Dallas goal was a gift that likely wouldn’t happen again. 
 

Kulak flubbed on the puck causing a turnover close to the net. Followed by Skinner flopping forward and doing snow angels. It was a gift. 
 

Dallas played the 1 - 2 - 2 formation and still couldn’t stop the Oilers

This is the first time I seriously begin to think that 1993 might be in jeopardy as the last Canadian Cup

Dallas always loses the first game.  They'll be fine.

Impressive stat about playoff teams with the highest PP and PK combined score. 
 

This year’s Oilers have run away with special teams play at both ends.

I was wondering why it was since 1978--but that's because NHL doesn't have PP/PK stats before that.

What did folks think about Trouba’s elbow? Minor penalty or a major?

 

The one camera angle looks like a minor penalty to me but the other camera angle makes me think it’s a major. 
 

Gallagher was suspended for a lesser chicken wing elbow

Trouba gets no "benefir of the doubt" I-M-O ... almost everything he does is "intent to injure" unless OBVIOUS BEYOND ANY DOUBT not

Much as I like PK Subban, I don’t understand his commentaries on controversial hits. In almost every case, he defends the hitter, yells that “that’s playoff hockey.” 🤮  But in this particular case, he is banging the gong over and over that it’s a dirty hit.

Never been a fan of Trouba, or Kreider.  He gets no benefit of the doubt from me either.

Why what has Krieder done?

Just because he "accidently" ran into Price, have seen 5 or 10 of those in this years playoffs?

And if the NHL is OK not suspending Trouba, i dont care.

If Trouba played for Montreal, am sure he would be viewed different on here.

Kreider running into Price is far from the only time he has run over goalies.  He had 3-4 alone in the same playoffs as he hit Price. 

 

As for Trouba.  I hope he gets suspended.  He's a dirty player with lots of these dirty hits and a two hand slash to another player in the helmet this season.  He absolutely gets no benefit of the doubt.

And was not penalized 1 minute, correct? Never suspended.

So he is playing within the rules and is a very good player, isnt he? 

 

Trouba is like many hard hitting d-men, they live on the edge, no suspension coming for elbow, so all good as far as NHL safety dept is concerned, so why do fans give a crap. The $5,000 fine is gonna make things all good, no?
