People take the Knoblauch clip out of context, he basically said the standard for what’s a penalty all year long should be the same for every team but it hasn’t, in every series there examples of calls being made one way and not the other. Not that he’s whining for not getting calls.

[@canadiangamer6210]

seems more like hes whining when call are agents his team, he said nothing when calls were in his favor in a majority of games but when the calls arent on his side he has to mention the refs... just seems off putting

[@Thynqikan]

@@canadiangamer6210 I think he has a point, as Dallas isn't any more disciplined than any other team as they have done quite a few offenses that should have been called and were called on other teams in the 2024 playoffs. Example: the hit at center ice on Holloway is interference as he did not have the puck. OR when Ekholm is tripped deep in the Dallas end in game 1 but no call. None of the slashes to the hands have been called either, yet the refs have called several on the Oilers so far.

[@franklindcottrell]

Maybe the oilers should learn how to play 5x5

[@JonSnuh]

@@franklindcottrell it's not about playing 5 on 5, it's about one team getting on average less calls against them the other. Game 1 was very tight checking from both sides, but Dallas had 5 power plays versus 1 for Edmonton.

As a Canuck fan, watching McDavid get the 4 min penalty after the whistle when we didn't get the same treatment for the one on Hughes is brutal...

[@popeluigi]

the reffing was terrible front to back in that series, but at least it wasn't "biased". It was just dogshit inconsistency

[@JH-jw7pu]

It was the same ref too, Sutherland.

[@winkletown8828]

[@Traumatree]

@@JH-jw7pu Sutherland should go ref in the Eastern, and would get layed off if we would do the same to either Rangers or Florida.

[@Traumatree]

OP, McDavid was returning the favor that was not catch by the camera - you had to be there to see what Hughes did. That's why he got the hit. Reffing in the Dallas vs Edmonton is biased.

[@BahamutBreaker]

That play by Goodrow at 7:09 is not getting enough love around the hockey world. Thank you for pointing his play out and highlighting its significance. I played soccer competitively for two decades - that type of “first touch” on a lofted pass, while moving in the same direction as the ball, is a VERY nuanced and underrated skill that goes unnoticed by fans, but does NOT go unnoticed by teammates. Now, trying to do that same thing with a flat stick on a small cylindrical puck, while skating? Cripes… that’s otherworldly hand-eye coordination and “silky” hands. Top-tier stuff from the veteran.

​@HarrisonHollers Are Rangers fans really this insecure that they gotta act like the regular season matters and brag about padding their playoff stats by beating a team that didn't even wanna be there? Remember, last season FL beat the best regular season team of all time and swept the Canes. You guys almost got reverse swept by the Canes. 😂😂

Oilers having McDavid and Draisaitl is one thing. Oilers having McDavid put them in literal "Cup or Bust" mode is different, and every series so far I'm trying to figure out whether it's good or bad for them.

[@OWlsfordshire]

It's real bad. They have a 3.5 mil cap hit next year for trying to cheat the cap this year via maxing out then passing out huge bonuses. Now the Oilers will be years away from another run. Hopefully Drai leaves.

As much as I love Dallas, I don't see Edmonton giving up so easily. In fact, Although Dallas took game 2, Edm outplayed them for almost the first 2 periods. Dallas needs to step up their early play. And it couldn't hurt to have Hintz back on the ice either.

Soilers got away with lots in their series vs Vancouver. Now it’s not going their way they’re complaining. How ironic.

[@stevencooke6451]

We're exactly where we thought we would be: tied one game each. Except for the Oilers haters who said Stars would win in three. You mentioned two defenders who are finally getting a lot of attention for their great play: Heiskanen and Forling. Like you I watch the Leafs a lot, and people wrongly think that if only they were slow and tough they would win, but even the really hard-nosed teams like Florida don't have players who are purely just tough. Their dirty players are also skilled. Maybe when they had Radko Gudas you could point to unskilled but mean as Hell. I'd love to see both series go the distance. Finally, I do know how to predict whether goaltender interference will be called. It is solely based on which player makes the actual contact. Not who caused the contact. So, if I launch the attacking player into the goalie with a cannon that's GI. If I launch the defender into the goalie with a cannon, it's not. It's as if the refs are poorly programmed bots basing all decisions on one factor.

I’m sorry Oilers cannot complain about officiating after the series against the Canucks 😂

[@IngyStudios]

They can because two Canadian teams they don’t care about, but bettman can rig it for American teams against either Canucks or oilers …

[@winkletown8828]

Regardless, at least Canada teams are being eliminated 😎

[@thaneoffife6904]

Sure they can. Canuks got away with as much as the Oilers did. The officiating was poor bit it didn't favor either team. The Canuks got their chances on the power play and for the most part did very little with it. That's very different from game 1 of the 3rd round where the Oilers were called for 3 minors ( 2 of which should not have been called) and a double minor while the Stars were only called for 1 bench minor for too many men. Having watched the game there was no reason for that disparity based on the standard set by the calls against the oilers. The officials for what ever reason decided not to make any calls against the Stars.

[@angelaa.9915]

The officiating is fine (so far) in this series. The Stars don’t take many penalties! Through 15 games, they’ve been called 34 times. Through 14, EDM has had 54. Just for fun number time: through 12 games, COL got whistled 44 times, and through 13, VAN got whistled 53 times. Short story long, DAL doesn’t take a lot of whistles in general, it’s not just in this series that the refs are suddenly on their side 🙄

[@parrydox.gaming]

No one knows wtf is a penalty anymore. Florida still gets away with so much but the Rangers have been getting them back several times. I’m still shocked at how the league didn’t even talk to FLA regarding the KO cheapshot to Marchand. Ever since that moment nothing shocks me. No one including the refs and players know what goaltender interference is. No one knows what is a cheap shot and what is a clean hard hit. I miss the days when hockey was insanely physical but not every hit ended up going for the head. With the league and refs doing nothing, the players have only ramped it up. Just wait until we keep going in these series. Something bad is going to happen and then the league will finally get more strict towards headshots and cheap shots. I love fighting and hard hits in hockey but this has gotten nuts man.

[@ILoveMisty1985]

As a Stars fans those posts in overtime in Game 1 were excruciating especially as they ended up losing in 2OT. That makes it seven straight Game 1 losses - all but two in overtime. In other words they lost Game 1 of every post-season series since their miracle run to the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals, which was incidentally the last series where they won Game 1. Somehow they won four of the last six series where they lost Game 1, but their luck ran out against Calgary in 2022 and Vegas in 2023. Who knows when it will run out again.
