It's fine I guess. Z got $5k fine for the cross check and McD got nothing for the two handed slash.

That's where I have a problem. $5k is nothing for these guys, McD should have gotten that as well. It's there because then it goes on their record for future decisions. McD gets away with it again.

Hyman(?) also cross checked Z after this exchange and got nothing. Z needed a few stitches on his face after the game.

McDavid sold it by ramming his face into Soucey’s stick. And he wasn’t hurt at all. I think the stick actually caught him in the upper chest area, otherwise he would have at least a cut or some teeth missing.

McDavid and Draisaitl played an absurd 29:42 and 29:20. That tells you how much faith the coach has in the rest of the team. That can’t be sustainable at all.

It's all shenanigans and selling things during the playoffs just to get that advantage and no team is immune.

Yeah, like when Hughes launched himself awkwardly into the boards after Kane slewfooted him.

Nurse and Ceci need to be split up.

Yes we can and will after that BS in the 1st and 2nd.

Lol so many missed calls on Oilers dirty plays. High stick in the face drawing blood, multiple slewfoots, spearing in the junk. Oilers are just dirty players.

Compared to? I'm not blind to see some shit from the Oilers too, but last night had some pretty terrible calls.

Upon further reflection, what the hell was our coach doing last night and why was there no response to McD getting put through the grinder? It was discombobulated and without care that I'm honestly confused as a fan and season ticket holder.

As a neutral (Leafs fan) observer, I don't think there has been any particular dis/advantage in officiating through this series. Really the entire playoffs have been decently well-called for the most part, IMO.

Cracking series so far though, it's been edge of the seat hockey. Bettman must be loving the idea of a Canadian team being eliminated, but also dreading the spectre of a non-US side in the final

So last game, let's say Skinner only lets 2 goals in on 15 shots.... that's still just a 0.867 % and yet we would have potentially won IF the guys in front of him actually put the puck in the net; we are making their goaltender look like a fucking god out there because of lacklustre chances. Goaltending percentages are far from a complete story and as a former goalie, facing a shot every 4 minutes (on average) is really, really hard to get into a rhythm for. He must get his GAA down and % up, but he is in a tough spot as per below.

So far in this series, we have had double the number of giveaways, half the number of blocked shots and are losers in the face-off dot. For me, that is far more telling than his save percentage and while he MUST be better and needs to make that one extra key save a game, the guys in front of him simply are not good enough.

For a team 4th in the league for GF this year, we are simply not putting the puck in the net given the fact that we know our D and tending are unlikely to win us games and that's not the end of the world. Our offence is what we are known for, pay for and ultimately need to put a spotlight on. We knew that we need to win many of these games 5-3, 6-4, 7-5 etc. and yet have had almost no secondary scoring at all.

Look at this part of our team, a team in front of our tender and their +/- (especially 2-3 guys), their pts and their shooting %. Absolutely brutal and far more responsible for where we are right now.

Games. G A PTS +/- (in Grey) PIM shots

I suspect that we will indeed see Pickard tonight as there is SIGNIFICANT pressure on the coaching staff to try something new here.

I like Pickard A LOT, but do worry about his lack of experience and talk about a pressure cooker for him to prepare for.

Either way, GO OILERS GO!

Why? They are run and gun champs, but Dallas is perhaps the deepest, most complete team out there. Insane depth.

They lost Valeri Nichushkin to players assistance. He was a huge part of their series against Winnipeg. He scored about 700 goals. And also contributed some goals in the Dallas series.

Without the threat of secondary scoring, the Avs can be shut down.

I figured it would be much closer, likely a 7 game series, not 5.
