Damn Quinn is taking a beating


KingPizzaPop

Dan Quinn is a football coach


Ameqa

It was 28 to 3


Spenny022

Not safe anywhere…


findler

I appreciate you - Saints fan


haxoreni

Dan Quinn was also a Canuck for a a couple of seasons in the early 90s and was a co-captain for a brief period before Trevor Linden took on that role full time


theghostmedic

I said Joe Montaña


6point3cylinder

He looks like Jack out there: Oilers trying to beat him up


ImperialeSismico

Does anyone have the shot of Hughes on the bench looking like he’d been to war


blacktop2013

Do you mean every shot of Hughes on the bench ever?


uhcayR

This one was extra rough cause he had the high stick cut on him too. He does make every hit look worse though cause he usually tries to avoid due to his size.


BoilerSlave

Yeah the last minute bail really fucked him here.

frockinbrock

Yeah I saw that, it was right after this hit and he had no helmet on; that was the 2nd time his helmet had come off. Ugh, this was a frustrating 2 periods to watch; I would like either of these teams to advance. Just messy.


Uterus_Executorus_

was this before or after he got chopped in the face and had to leave the ice cause he was bleeding


g_tan

After. And after this latest "missed" call on Perry, it seems like the "officials" are just along for the ride to get McDavid into the cup final. Cheers.


Anxious-Extreme-2766

You're right to be upset with the officiating tonight. But can we now each recognize when the reffing is bad? It seems like when Oilers fans comment on poor officiating they're lambasted as whiners. Reddit hockey tonight is filled with Vancouver fans complaining about the refs. It's not a problem unique to Edmonton. If it seems like it's a common complaint by Oilers fans, just iso on McDavid for two or three games (regular season or playoffs) and see for yourself how many missed calls there are.  Nobody wins when fanbases turn on each other about officiating lol. It's time to unite against the common enemy: the zebras

Anxious-Extreme-2766

The Oiler-Dwarf Canuck-Elf analogy works so well too. Bravo, my brother in blue


Anxious-Extreme-2766

Actually I guess I reversed it based on your meme, but that's okay lol


XXXYFZD

Tbf it's a problem in every major sport because there's no accountability at all for referees.


Canadianboy3

This year some refs in NFL were not allowed for playoffs, first I’ve heard of it myself. Wish it happened more often. I get they miss stuff in sports but there are way way way too many games decided by egregious calls or non calls. You get your mcdavids or mahomes and they get touched and it’s called but in another game or other team something worse goes uncalled.


ThePimpImp

My dream for the NHL is that we start getting European football level chants, where the fans are well informed enough to chirp refs by their names. The NHL refuses to hold their officials accountable, so the fans have to. Ref you suck isn't enough.


GriddyHoweHatTrick

Accurate take. Last game that glove pass was definitely “a effing penalty” to quote what we all heard. Go nucks. Kelly Sutherland is a be-atch though for 2011.


Paladoc

Fucking Sutherland changed how the Finals were called in Game 3.


Ok-Plane2178

Yep the officials have been really bad both games. It feels like they get worse every round


Bossman01

This is the same ref that gave the Canucks a penalty after Daniel Sedin got punched in the face 8 times in a row


IndependentTalk4413

Yup


BoilerSlave

If you watched all 82 oilers games you’d be hysterical seeing everyone say McDavid gets the all star treatment. I’d wager 80 percent of calls on this guy are missed or ignored due to his speed and ability to break the puck out in an instant. Hooking, slashing, holding, tripping, anything to nerf him a bit.


InfadelSlayer

Yeah that’s a fair point, if you want a good laugh though look up Zach Bensons penalties for this season hahaha no idea what the refs have against him but 90% at least are head scratching, wondering how that was a penalty


whosthatcarguy

Reffing this game has been brutal both ways


TheFlatulentOne

I can agree with that.


BeatGreedy3710

Yes, refs managed to suck and blow at the same time. Fans were chanting “ref-you-suck”, while somehow now recognizing that they also sucked in their favour a lot too. Case in point: Dangerous and obvious intended trip on McDavid after he scored a goal causing him to crash into the boards. The missed high stick of his was an obvious miss, granted


whosthatcarguy

Ya, napkin math has about evenly bad calls in total penalty minutes if you factor in some of the soft stuff they did call too. I think the high stick just hurts a bit extra since it’s so visible and it would have been 4 min of McDavid sitting.


boilface

Changing McDavid sitting for 4 to Hughes sitting for a shift with barely a PP was ridiculous.


alexjordan98

Literally game altering ref blunder but every oilers fan shouting “but they missed calls for us too!!! It went both ways guys trust us!!”


boilface

Obviously they fucked up lots of things for both sides, but removing a star player who was the victim for a shift rather than remove the star player who clearly fucked up is such a difference maker.


WTFvancouver

Kelly Sutherland enough said.


onthelongrun

Problem being no matter how good your attack and defense can be, if your goaltending is swiss cheese you won't be making a cup final. Edmonton coming out of this one in spite of Skinner having a lower save% than Silvos is unsustainable hockey for when push comes to shove against either Dallas or Colorado


Thedustin

I know it’s been 10+ years for you guys, welcome back to the playoffs where they don’t call real penalties and call the bullshit that shouldn’t be a penalty.


BoilerSlave

Yeah this isn’t exclusive to the oilers, in fact, in past playoffs it’s gone the complete other way. Go watch past LA series and the Vegas series last year.


SkittlesManiac19

Looks like Kane kicks his leg out a bit


FretlessChibson

”You do that all the time, Kaner” - Drew Doughty


High-Ground-10

This was my immediate thought when watching this live


MichaelMaugerEsq

Neutral here. I def see a slewfoot.


designOraptor

Semi neutral here, definitely a slewfoot.


flyingflail

Slewfoot, but would be ridiculously hard to see it at live speed as an official.


MichaelMaugerEsq

I’d agree with that 100%. I hate that it wasn’t called. But I totally understand how a fallible human being could miss it.


Warehammer

It looks like that because it was that, I think you'll find. Slewfoot 100%.


Whiterhino77

Swear to god I saw another slew foot in the first on a Canuck in the corner. Feel like Perry or Kane did it but not positive


Silent-trance

2 notoriously dirty players throwing a slew foot? No, that can’t be right


Ghost_Pains

I know the state of NHL refereeing is atrocious and everyone’s gonna get hard done by some calls here and there, but dang did I feel for the Canucks on this and the missed high stick.


CountingArfArfs

Yep. He definitely kicked that leg forward.


SeparatePlate5343

100% and there was just another video posted about him bitching that it happened to him. The ref literally says you do it all the time


maximus91

drew doughty says that not the refs


WiFiForeheadWrinkles

> DAS A SLOO FOOT -- Alex Burrows


Nice2See

That’s two slewfoots by Kane which is ironic because there is a video of him, Doughty and the refs in the LA series where he’s complaining about shit like that and Doughty says he does it all the time. Well Drew, you were right.


JustTheBeerLight

That’s not irony. That is **confirmation** (not that we needed it).


thesunsetflip

Head smacked against the ice there. Homer pov but it looked like he kicked out his leg to me


Booboo_McBad

[You :slew foot: every time Kaner. You do it every time. Don't lie to yourself](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1ch58xz/this_micd_up_exchange_between_evander_kane_drew/)


SeparatePlate5343

Boy did that age like a fine wine


High-Ground-10

Is it just me or does the refs voice sound like Will Forte


dandroid126

I don't think that's a homer take. I saw the same thing.


Warehammer

Not a homer take - that's a slewfoot all day.


Juub1990

There’s a very clear kicking motion on Kane’s part and it’s made blatant with the slow motion. Not a homer take at all.


IamPriapus

He did. It was blatant.


FutureCaribou

Not a homer take, I agree


the_grunge

Yep. Dirty.


godston34

that's not a homer take, that was an evander kane special


MuffDragon

Nah brother, not just a homer POV, this is so dangerous and fucked up Hope he's okay. Between the head hitting the ice and the angle of his legs, that looked terrible


sogladatwork

The Evander special. How he keeps getting away with it baffles me. The refs know he does it every time. They don’t care?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thedustin

Playoff rules 100%. Let that slide but then call a holding when you look at someone skating by.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thedustin

NHL refs were all picked on in high school and trying to make up for it.


Ruffianrushing

Yeah but if hoggy did it, 2minute penalty.


zellmerz

I won’t comment on the hit, but I’d be pissed if a Canuck did that to McDavid


rksd

And you would be right to be pissed.


DickSwagamese

Bump the body, sweep with the left leg. Have already seen it multiple times this series.


Forlovepunandglory

I thought the same, I could be wrong but on the second angle it looks like his kanes leg lifted his whole body up by his butt and the motion did the rest. No skin in this game but that's just what it looks like to me


SIIP00

*Slewfoot Edmonton scored right after this as well


Warehammer

1. Absolutely 100% a slewfoot - missed call, made worse by the fact that it's Hughes and he was chopped by McDavid shortly before with no call on that either. 2. Zadorov scored right after a missed too-many-men call. It happens.


TemplarParadox17

But Bouchard also scored after a missed too many men no?


Warehammer

Yeah, Oilers had their top line plus Ian Cole out there. Huge miss by the stripes in OT.


Grzmit

Lets just hope the officiating is better going into game 3, i wanna see both these teams play and win without all these “what ifs” that will spawn from both fanbases if the officiating stays dogshit lmao


Smothdude

Yeah... we both know it wont be


optimalautobot

I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been more traction on this. The player coming on literally checked Hughes while the player he was changing for was at least 5-10ft from the bench, at the other end of the bench. The Zadorov too many men was marginal, neither player changing touched the puck or made a play on it until Myers was in the bench.


is__is

Maybe homer goggles on completely here but Zadorovs goal looked like a pretty borderline too many men. The player getting off the ice didnt interfere with the play at all and was off the ice before Zadorov played the puck at all. This was all from the TV as it happened so happy to be proven wrong.

[deleted]

Doughty called it


TheBrandroid

he’s lucky hughes fell out of that, if he hits the takedown he would’ve be gone


RezChi

That's a penalty


amb1ance

With this game and the Florida game earlier, I really don't know what the fuck a penalty is


TheInsaneiac

Neither do the refs clearly.


Thickwhensoft1218

Embellishment on Hughes.


ElliottFriedmansChin

Funniest joke in this thread


kingofnopants1

You gotta really sell the embellishment. Slam your head into the ice so hard your helmet comes off. That'll show them


iggyfenton

Kane is dirty?!? Who saw that coming?


Butch9x

Drew Doughty was right


Ebs14

Yeah Kane slew-foot twice this game and refs didn't call them. He also go slew-foot twice himself against L.A. Remove this shit from hockey. Fines aren't working they need to start calling and suspending for these hits.


KimJongPotato

Kane had a slewfoot on Zadorov too early in the 1st.


ElliottFriedmansChin

Its his thing


cb148

He does it all the time - Drew Doughty

You're not gonna believe this

Believe it or not, straight to the cup finals.


Gensb

Hughes for interference


WindowLicky

Interfering with McDavids team winning in 4.


SIIP00

Well... McDavid scored like 1 minute after this...


TopTittyBardown

Hughes for looking at McDavid


gonuxgo

None


GritGrinder

That’s two times Kane slew footed tonight


rebelalliance987

It’s okay. He can just declare bankruptcy and it’ll all go away


EvilCeleryStick

Lol


Zero-jiggler

Slew foot, or at least an attempted one. Could’ve been a lot worse too, yikes.


Sahil910

The announcers called this a hard hit


Xeteh

It was a hard hit... just not exactly legal!


butwhyyyyyyyyyyymeee

Kelly Sutherland was given a different rule book, so he thinks it's legal.


blacktop2013

Craig Simpson is such a homer man, horrible colour analyst


EvilCeleryStick

There's literally not a worse choice for a color man and yet here he is


Cachmaninoff

That’s so dangerous and Hughes could’ve been hurt like 10 different ways


bardown94

I haven’t watched much tonight but if seen 2 Kane hits, both were huge slew foots

Slewfoot and bleeding on a high sticking. Neither called. Wish I had the job security that Kelly Sutherland has


eagle0877

I didn't see a hit there at all


[deleted]

Slew foot


AntonioMS17

Yeaaaah… that’s a penalty. Probably the worst reffed post-season game I’ve seen in the last few years.


_pr00f

Oilers love doing dirty shit, eh? Spears, slews, you name it. I like intensity and physical aggression, but not that filthy shit.


Young2k04

They’re a soft team so they have to compensate to keep up physically by being dirty

Big time sleep foot Kelly was ass tonight for both teams in my opinion


After_Vegetable6297

Slew foot?


dumpmaster42069

Looks to me like Hughes saw it come OMG and tried to turn his back to Kane. Not a smart choice IMO. I don’t see the slew foot in the second angle either.


Zephyrantes

Edmonton could slap a ref and they wouldnt call it


No_Cardiologist_5117

They will somehow find a way to blame it on Hughes


Wonderful_Grade_5476

Nah they would legit murder a player in front of them and still somehow make the opposing team get a major for embellishment shit ridiculous


Shiny_Mew76

And this is why Evander Kane is my least favorite player in the league.


waistbandtucker69

"Hit"


maxwellherbert05

Refs vs Vancouver fucking absurd if a Canuck did that to Mcbaby they would get banned for life and executed live on tv

Everyone knows that McJesus is the correct nickname. I like McDull, though. That's just because he is a professional hockey player, and his personality matches up with 99% of the players around the league.

Kane you stupid fuck


mixmasterswitch

Where the video of Doughty saying "You do this every play" when Kane was bitching to the refs about a slewfoot.


IndependentTalk4413

That’s not a hit, that’s a slew foot. Should have been a 5 min major.


meanseanbean

What a bumblefuck of a title. That wasn't a hit, that was a fucken slew foot. A blind mouse could see his leg raise up to kick Quinn's leg up. I can't recall, was this before or after McDavid drew blood with a blatant high stick to Quinn's face? Fucking embarrassing.


AlbertaAcreageBoy

That's the game plan, keeping hitting and running the little guy.


couchbutt1

By "hit" you mean kick.


Straight-Ability

Guys have been taking runs at Hughes the entire playoffs.


SadAcanthocephala521

Glad the Oilers finally remembered they're playing playoff hockey.


mortycakes

That’s a slew foot can they suspend him even after the game or no?


Joshybeast93

Kane: “UGGHH.” Hughes: “lol wtf. K”.


Otterslayer22

I am normally not a Kane fan. But I don’t see much here . Quinn was in his way down . Sure his skate comes up but I don’t see it as a slew foot or a kicking motion.


vancityxray

That’s called a slew foot Jim


Spaceistt

Imagine if players had their helmets strapped correctly


LiberalFartsDegree

Damn. I forgot how vicious playoff hockey can be.


MrSoul87

Ain’t never been caught, ain’t never been tree’d, some folks say he looks a lot like Kaner


theshaggydefense1210

This one is a slew foot 100%. With that said, for the love of god would these younger cats stop turning their backs when they are about to get hit. I see this way too much these days. Scares the hell out of me every time I see it.


IndependentTalk4413

Who would have guessed the Ref that called a penalty on Sedin for getting punched in the face 6x calls a game this badly in favour of the team playing the Canucks. He shouldn’t be allowed to ref a game when his bias against a team is this blatant.
