[PDSF] Edmonton Oilers (P2) vs. Los Angeles Kings (P3) | Oilers win series 4-2

[drdeath]

Don’t know what the standard is? Really Leon? You literally played these guys last year. The Kings will get away with more than you will. It’s really that easy.

No it wasn’t, you can’t call a goal back over that at all. 

Both the US and Canadian commentary teams called the high stick (in NZ so get the ESPN coverage). Seems everyone but you saw the contact.

If he played for the Hawks ,would you want to see the Hawks win another cup ? 

I have no problem with LA winning another cup.  My all time favourite player Wayne Gretzky played for them. Chicago is a different story though. So no…

Complete BS. And it has to be conclusive to overturn the call on the ice. That is inconclusive at best.

Yeah I don't like LA, but I don't have some deep-seated animosity for them like I do with the Alberta teams or the Leafs. If LA won my reaction would be "meh".

Clearly the puck hits the end of the blade . 

Clearly it didn’t or they would have reversed the call.  It wasn’t conclusive at all.  The puck was flickering all the way up.  You can’t call a goal back if you don’t know for sure…

Live look at the Oil Sands right now:

Umm the puck was hit by a high stick 

No it wasn't and it ruins the flow of the game. 

To have everyone celebrate and half the fans leave and then call it back is just a bad look.

 

Luckily that wasn't the case

Jay Woodcroft is an absolute idiot. His argument for why it’s a high stick is that the greatest player on earth put his hand up? McDavid is always crying for calls. Doesn’t mean he’s right

There is no clearly there at all, especially not clearly enough to call a goal back. 

I disagree. You can see the speed of the puck as it's going up. Without the stick, the puck keeps going up. It hit the curled end of the blade

No that's exactly why its a high stick. He's McDavid. Its Edmonton. Did you know they've won 5 cups? And had Gretzky? And have a big mall?

 

They should be entitled to the cup this year AND Bedard.

I thought it was obvious that the puck would have continued up on his own momentum of not for hitting something.

this angle makes it look like it was the natural arc and his stick was in the vicinity. but the reverse angle looks like it 100% dropped dead after hitting his stick 

[MaxVerstappen33]

The stick literally shakes because the puck bounced off the curled end of the blade. Second clip is all you need.

100% hit the stick. I love it. I fart in Edmonton's general direction

The puck was moving up but seemed to slow down as it reached the stick blade level.  I don’t doubt that it actually hit the tip of the blade, but it was not conclusive and you can’t reverse a goal unless it’s conclusive. Similarly, if the play was ruled a high stick then they wouldn’t have reversed that call either.  

 

The call on the ice stands unless there is “conclusive” evidence otherwise…
