Colorado Avalanche (C1) vs. Edmonton Oilers (P2)

I don't care much either. I'd rather Colorado wins the series, but really, I have nothing vested in it.

I didn't mean I don't care in terms of not being personally invested in the series, I just meant if the post-game discussion is about whether or not a rule was technically violated as opposed to whether or not something fundamentally unfair happened then, to paraphrase Lil' Baby, you can miss me with that ish.

A call like that is going to have players lifting their stick every time they enter the zone just incase the player skating out hasn't cleared yet. That's silly.

If that happens (or, possibly, to prevent that from happening), I suspect we'll see a more encompassing definition of what being in the possession of the puck entails.

Landeskog with what looked like a blindside hit on Yamomoto to the head, no call. Immediately afterwards, a chintzy call on Draisitl and then another call to put them down two - looked like MacKinnon's own stick hit him in the face, though, but I didn't get a good look at the replay.

Edit: There's the replay, elbow to the chops.

Slash to the hands isn't chintzy. It's called all the time. Didn't see the Landeskog hit.
Oil are no match for Col so far. McD and Drai look rather ordinary.

And here I thought Colorado playing their backup would be advantage Oilers, shows how much I know.

Don't be too hard on yourself. 

This one time, a zamboni driver came in as emergency backup and this so called NHL team couldn't score a goal only scored two goals on him.

I figured it was going to be a smoke show.

They scored 2 goals on him. Then they go shut down by the team in front of him.

Looking like Colorado's going to sweep.

Oilers are being dominated. They can't play D and have no answers. They're not very good.

Have to think Kane gets at least a game for this hit on Kadri.

Tim Peel thinks this hit is karma.  Tim Peel was an NHL official a year ago.  The NHL essentially did nothing about their corrupt officiating.   This is a recording.

Not defending him but there are a lot of people who think the same thing. He took out Biddington.  Not a good way to respond to anyone getting hurt for sure.

To bring up Binnington (that's how it's spelled) yet again, to say you're not defending Peel because other people think Kadri is getting his come uppance, and your response is he could've responded better? Really?
