[@paulthompson8793]

Unlike the Stars goal, this actually was goalie interference.

[@tonyc8752]

But it wasn't. Vancouver knocked McDavid into their own goalie. Should have been a goal.

[@conorcahill5422]

That is goaltender interference written all over it. Silovs stays well within his crease before McDavid nudges him over after jumping.

[@keefersmotherland1308]

yeah that was a flop ...

[@TheEdmontonOilersAreGood]

Myers shoves Mcdavid into Silovs

[@ffnc258]

well u still lost bud , go to sleep now

[@northernpunx1978]

lol sure. Lucky the goalie didn’t get an embellishment call on the acting.

[@shadow188]

So no one sees McDavid just hop into the goalie?

[@thomasoconnell7992]

Nope

[@willstuart4504]

Well it was waved off immediately, so I'm guessing YEAH, someone saw it.💡

[@sergiog8524]

As nucks fan, he didn't hop into the goalie lol. Looked like he hopped to put the puck in play and he got knocked Over in the process by nucks defenders

[@mrhurst198]

He jumped to the avoid that heater of a bouch bomb coming at him at 90mph and got pushed into the goalie

[@northernpunx1978]

No. We watch the actual game. Van knocked him into goalie. Worst sportsman comments from Vancouver.

[@xSnarfsx]

He skated directly into the blue and stopped there. That's a good call, easily lol.

[@SamThompson18]

Didn't know Silovs could dive 😂

[@testedtrue7693]

If defencemen can push players into goaltenders and have goals taken away, this will set a new standard for defence in front of the net. Have seen goaltender interference called in two playoff goals, Dallas and Oilers. Two shocking calls that could change game outcomes. Are refs betting on games now?

[@DontBeStatusQuo]

Also the Panthers game had a couple

[@ExplorationRandomDestination]

Been way more then that Toronto really trying to control the narrative

[@JarradBruessel32]

Lmfao mcdavid is skating into the crease and does nothing to try to avoid hitting silovs moron

[@Crimsonfangg]

If McDavid hadn't jumped up in the air, he might've gotten away with it. He was way too obvious.

[@zzz7zzz9]

He jumped up, so his feet weren't in the crease.

[@Trrippy_Shades]

youre obvious...ly a casual

[@Crimsonfangg]

@@Trrippy_Shades a convincing counter argument.

[@GP8201]

Goalie should have got called for diving. Could only imagine he injured himself from that over-acting.

[@keefersmotherland1308]

Nothing to see here ... just vancouver goalie diving

[@beckettplant]

A Canucks sandwich with McDavid as the filling.

[@politicalbandwagon4989]

Imagine nucks fans if the jerseys were reversed on this call lol

[@Cartoondude135]

What do you mean by "jerseys were reversed on this call"?

[@dcalliou7]

Pucks in the net before they shove mcdavid into the goalie

[@Christian-mm5ym]

That was actually goalie interference, for once they got it right

[@tonyc8752]

It wasn't, but good try

[@Pyrus425]

Compared to the stars goal this is very reasonable

[@SiDoda369]

Goalie also helped out with that backward shoulders check on to your back soccer move.

[@peterrollinson-lorimer]

Looks like a good call to me, not that he could have stopped the shot anyway.

[@Nahash5150]

Can't do that.

[@oogiev2]

Refs got this one correct

[@tequila6306]

What even is goaltender interference anymore. So stupid

[@roofpizza1250]

This was.

[@tequila6306]

@@roofpizza1250 doesn’t matter lol

[@ViclikesHockey]

Easy goalie interference idk why people in the comments are saying that should been a goal😂

[@marine_michelle4538]

Did you hear about the same call at the Stars-Avs game six yesterday?

[@tonyc8752]

Vancouver caused it. Bad call

[@roofpizza1250]

McDavid trying too hard, possibly cost his team a goal. lolz.

[@MisterStealYourChick]

a goal that doesn’t matter, oilers in 7

[@MikeHawkPEN15]

[@goose5462]

LOlz, LOlz..... did you catch McD's 3 assists or the 5-1 victory. This didn't age well, did it loser?

[@xxTheTruMan196]

The vast majority of goaltender interference calls in the playoffs this season have been complete trash across every series. That being said, the ref made the correct call here. Whether it was incidental contact or not the goalie was knocked over inside the blue paint and thus unable to play his position.

[@tonyc8752]

The refs blew this one too. Vancouver blatantly pushed McDavid into their own goalie, who then embellished. If anything, Vancouver should have been called for at least one penalty, which would have been wiped away by the goal that should have counted.

[@randomname9758]

It shouldn't be that hard to get goalie interference right. They have let goals in that was way worse than this

[@JarradBruessel32]

This is the right call. Mcdavid doesn't try to avoid contact and skates towards silovs and stops there

[@classic.cameras]

Why is this goal on the NHL website as counting? Did the NHL over rule the refs?

[@darkphoenix2]

I don't like it. Too easy for goalies to feel a guy in the other jersey graze their jersey and they fall over helpless. McDavid had nowhere to go.

[@JarradBruessel32]

He skates towards there and doesn't try to avoid contact at all

[@darkphoenix2]

@@JarradBruessel32 contact with the goalie? he barely touched him and was helped by the defender, he didn't just plow in here

[@JarradBruessel32]

@@darkphoenix2 lmfao he wasn't helped in by the defender. He jumps and hits the goalie.

But despite this blunder, the Oilers still won this game.

[@rodvella-iq4so]

Canucks zone coverage way too passive - when the oilers have time to make tape-to-tape passes it will end olio in their net!!! Lucky it was called interference!

[@reckersworld9351]

The refs of all the playoff games have been terrible.

[@MetalHeadAZ]

TOO MAY PENALTIES!! GO OILERS GOO!!!

[@texasaggie75]

Oughta be a penalty there, the Oilers dude jumped into the goalie.

[@zzz7zzz9]

What's the penalty?

[@robrick9361]

Mcdavid jumped so he wouldn't block the puck. The defenseman did push him into the goaltender but Mcdavid was already way too close.

[@bowlerdude041]

This IS goalie interference, but it would be nice if they didn't bail the goalie out for taking himself completely out of the play as soon as he felt any contact.

[@anthonybasciano6551]

That was total bs

[@JarradBruessel32]

How?

[@ArgentLost]

Pushed in. Yeah sure. We can tell who these guys are cheering for. Good ole impartial announcers ...

[@liloneilltelus5227]

Oilers were too primed tonite???????!

[@richard2303]

It’s McJesus, so no penalty.

[@biggest451fan3]

What a disgrace by the nhl, good thing the Canucks have no chance of containing the best hockey team in the world

[@nathanrasely7903]

Congratulations sir, you win the award for the most delusional/random playoff hockey take so far in 2024…You are aware Vancouver is up 3-2 right? The “Best hockey team in the world” More like the best team that hasn’t made the cup finals, and whose crowning achievement was getting swept by Colorado in the western finals a couple years ago.

[@aaronm5535]

Easy call😊

[@liloneilltelus5227]

Edm has the refs helping them big time

[@jonbenjisnomore7935]

That's why this goal was called back? Please tell me you're not a Canucks fan? Maybe if the Canucks wanted to end this series early & on the road they might have put more shots on Skinner tonight. Seriously I can't understand why so many haters of the Oilers call the Oilers whiners when that is exactly what you are doing here. Smh. 😢

[@tonyc8752]

Get your eyes checked

[@tihseht472]

Same goes for dallas ot winner. Theres no need to be inches from a goalie as few ft works just as good. The NHL does need to be more consistent with these calls though as I've seen worse called a goal.

[@tonyc8752]

Leave the game to people that know hockey. Your comment is the dumbest thing anyone has said so far.

[@ColinTaylor-sj7ti]

gotta love the braindead oilers fans booing this obvious call. Stay classy Alberta

Hilarious considering Canucks goalie dove and acted like he was shot out of a cannon. The biggest and most obvious dive in the entire series was this play right here.
