Linesmen for Ducks-Oilers, Game 4: Scott Cherrey, Brian Murphy
Linesmen for Ducks-Oilers, Game 5: Scott Cherrey, Brian Murphy

You'd think missing an offside and icing leading to two goals would be means to make sure different linesmen work the next game, but since those both benefited the Ducks that means they get to work the next game in the series. Great job NHL!

To be fair, the linesman put his hand up for icing. I'm not sure if it's his responsibility to blow the play down for it from the opposite blue line where the puck was fired from.

Ducks tied Game 5 3-3 as Kesler was grabbing Talbot's pad and not letting go. That's 100% goalie interference. The goal was allowed to stand.

gently caress the NHL, gently caress the refs, gently caress Bettman. This loving poo poo is rigged.

But what about the previous two goals? Game should never have gotten to the point where a blown call/review mattered. :v:

Yes, the Oilers never should've allowed the 3-1 and 3-2 goals, but the thing is that if the right call is made and the goal is waived off then odds are that the Oilers would've killed off the final 15 seconds. They would've won the game in regulation had the right call been made. Instead we're now facing OT, which the Ducks will likely win, and instead of having won the series 4-1 it's likely 3-2 Ducks headed back to Edmonton.

Whether he did or didn't I just don't think you're gonna get that call when you're pushing a player into your own goalie and I don't understand why dmen continuously think it's a good idea.

I posted this in the GD thread but sometime during the season they really started erring on the side of the players on these plays. There's definitely some kind of secret Brian Burke cabal to not call off goals. I've even seem some offsides that sure as hell looked like offsides called on.

Nurse is the reason Kesler fell, but Nurse is not the reason Kesler was grabbing onto Talbot's pad. You shouldn't be able to grab a goalie's pad and get away with it, no matter how you get into that position.

Anyways, if the Ducks win this series I'm done with the playoffs this year. gently caress watching this rigged bullshit. I don't care who wins the Cup anymore as long as it isn't the loving Ducks.

I legitimately would not be surprised if they had A Meeting and decided to not call back (as many) goals, especially offsides ones, because of the optics of taking away a potential GWG or series winning goal. There's been a ton of comments about "god help the NHL if an offsides review decides a series" or whatever.

gently caress this series. gently caress the refs. gently caress the NHL. gently caress Bettman. gently caress Corey Perry. gently caress the Anaheim Ducks.

The Oilers should have won this series 4-1. But instead, because Bettman loving hates the Oilers, it's now a 3-2 series for the Ducks that they don't deserve. They had 3 goals that shouldn't have happened in Game 4, and tonight the game tying goal should not have happened. There's no way this bullshit isn't rigged. Ducks get multiple obvious calls missed by the refs, they get goals allowed that shouldn't be allowed and now they're going to win the series on Sunday because the refs are in their pocket and giving them this series.

This series is over. Oilers aren't coming back. They can't beat the refs. They can't beat Bettman.

I hope the Ducks get swept by the Preds next round. Those fuckers and their fans don't deserve happiness.

If you're going to go into conspiracy theory meltdown rant posting, at least try to post something new.

Here, I'll demonstrate:

The refs are in Big Oil's pocket. Screwing over the Oilers is a false flag attack designed to elicit support for the Northern Gateway pipeline project and expansion of the Oil Sands.
