“You might be determining the series for the Oilers if you suspend him.” Okay ? Don’t leave your feet and elbow someone in the head. If Barkov doesn’t play Draisital has got to be suspended, regardless of if the Oilers season is on the line or not. That was an awful hit.

[@justinmiller5660]

Even if Barkov plays game 3 he should be suspended

[@paulg6274]

It wasnt that bad, get over it

They’ll never suspend the golden boys of the NHL. Player safety is a fucking joke. So now it’s okay to elbow players heads/ faces? That was intend to injure Fair game

Dirty Oilers 😡

crysaitl should have gotten 5 and a game, definitely should get suspended

[@nguoibantotnhat]

The fact is Panthers' 3rd line has outshot, outscored Oilers in game 2. The Oilers are hopeless now.

[@mikeybombardiere8102]

To be fair that 3rd line is naaasty

[@TrueMr.Quinn1]

@@mikeybombardiere8102dude it really is. I have not seen a third line so nasty good while the 4th line while not as nasty, is still good enough to keep up with another teams 2nd line

[@rickyrougs]

honestly kind of expected - both top lines are kind of cancelling each other out and the panthers depth is showing with their third and fourth lines showing up while edmonton's depth is just not there.

[@eberkovich]

@@mikeybombardiere8102 Yeah. Lundell and Luostarinen are fantastic 3rd line player. Especially "baby Barkov", Lundell. Some may not agree, but Lundell is a top 6 forward on some NHL rosters.

[@kalenluck]

Ain’t over til it’s over

Now we know the Oilers are a dirty team focusing on dirt tactics instead of playing hockey, what a disgrace of a team Zero respect for that franchise

[@a3gill]

Foegele moved his knee outward to make contact, and Bennett's knee moved in. Pretty cut and dry.

[@dscwac396]

The Panthers goalie is probably a top 5 goalie of all time dude is unreal

[@MrEspud]

Panthers will give Oilers 1 game. Im sure they rather win their FIRST cup at HOME

He should get 3 games suspension

[@SirVTropic]

As much as I can relate to your outrage, pls stay sportsmanlike... Others than the god damned Oilers did

To quote Darren McCarty ‘Hockey players have long memories’ If there isn’t any punishment by the NHL, then Drai better keep his head on a swivel Karmas a bitch

[@xlr0gd205]

@@TheShedHuntingDogs if Panthers do the same to MCD, it's 5 and a game and likely a goal or two allowed on the ensuing PP, they can't afford that

​@xlr0gd205 if the panthers do that to McCrybaby it's 5 and game and another 20 games. You can't touch McCrybaby.

And we broke Edmonton's pk streak and stopped them from having the Montreal record 😊

That was a short lived victory

Hurt or not is irrelevant! The player left his feet and elbowed another player in the jaw. This is a suspension. I have No rooting interest for either team BTW

[@paulg6274]

Thereve been so many hits like this in the playoffs

“33-34… MOST of the numbers I said are correct.” You said 43. You weren’t close.

[@joestrunk9663]

the T-shirt is because of the constant from SportsNet and TSN about how the whole country of Canada needs to get behind oilers. Canada started the stupid

Well according to buddy on the right they might as well not even play the next 2 games eh? Who knew Patton Oswald was a hockey fan

Suspended

Oilers are done,no coach.

[@BobsUruncle-dl7cs]

Well to be fair BOTH Knoblauch and Coffey are raw green Rookies,the future looks great.

[@kalenluck]

This aged poorly

[@nielsonlars]

Leon just won the series for the Oilers by taking out Barkov who is their best player and more importantly who is used to shutdown the Oilers best players

[@zachlesk5685]

That’s why Evan Rodrigues has more goals than mcdavid drai Hyman and Kane combined this series so far

[@nielsonlars]

@@zachlesk5685 yes because barkov is shutting down those players..with him out that doesn't happen...I hope I am wrong

[@alecbarone2630]

1.) we don’t even know if he’s out 2.) Panthers can still win without Barkey

[@justinmiller5660]

Lundell is just as good as barkov. The team will rally if he's out. The only thing that nazi did insure he's injured in a future game.

[@NicEeEe843]

Barky isn’t super hurt, at worse currently he misses one game and now you’ve made barky angry and the panthers pissed. Buckle up, we’ll see what happens

[@gordon7306]

Get rid of these refs theyre horrible Pansies should of had more penalties Completely being paid off
