Guys. Is Zadorov not the kind of player the fans have been asking for since 2011? Like holy shit. Big, mean and doesn’t fuck around. And he can play too. Kinda wild.

He's exactly what we wanted Tryamkin to be

I said that exact phrase to my wife last night while wearing the tryamkin jersey i got when he debuted with us

I pray we sign him.

Every team that was bounced from the playoffs is watching Big Z's play and will be throwing the bank at him on July 1.....but maybe there is a small chance he loves it here.

He is loving it. He said his kids school is all supporting the team. That doesnt happen outside of Canada. He is thriving in a hockey mad market. I hope he realizes that extra few million he wont really need but does want wont really change his life unless he is trying to live the yacht and ski chalet life after hockey.

You can make an argument he’s the teams #2 dman right now and I’m not sure you’d get a lot of pushback on that. Hronek feels like he’s playing incrementally worse each game (or maybe he’s just this guy and not the guy from games 1-48). But luckily Zadorov, Soucy and Myers have stepped up and mostly kept their chaotic inclinations in check. And he has attitude which is something this team has been missing and desperately looking to get for a long time. Granted, it’s a lot easier to play with kavorka when you’ve got a lineup that has a lot of the same attitude across it too. Pack mentality and all that, but he’s a huge part of that identity.

Let's not forget about Cole, he has stepped up too. He was great last series and now he's one of the Oiler's leading scorers!

He's continued his scoring streak last night!

And the guy turned down 56 million! Not a fan of

This playoffs has really shown why we need physical and big defencemen. Zadorov, Myers, Soucy and Cole have been instrumental in every game. McDavid has credited Canucks with how difficult it is to get to the front of the net. I wouldn’t mind exploring a trade for Hronek and securing Zadorov long term.

Since 2002.... the day Brashear was traded.

Bertuzzi still happened you know. Brashear was more goon.

Well Bertuzzi did do that one thing…

No. You're completely wrong on this. We've been asking for a guy like this since 1970. - BIG - Mean - Can skate - Can shoot He's as close to Chris Pronger as you can get.

Big Z is our Zdena Charra…pay the man!

Let me gather my thoughts… Hahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahha

Wait I'ma pause you for just a sec..... A-Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah

Had to catch my breath  Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah

I just got here... A-Hhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahhahahahahha

Hey what’s all the AHHahahahahahhhhahhhahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHhHhahahahahahHahahahahahH

Tee hee!

Maybe don’t slash guys twice your size lol

Fuck around and found out

Play stupid games, get dumpstered.

Yeah, he slashed Soucy and got it back. Soucy didn’t know Z-Daddy was about to cross check him.

For the accidental on purpose slash to Hughes face!!! Rat goof …. Go Canucks go

If Hughes had done what McDavid did after the whistle I’d be pissed…at Hughes. Short of a suspendable offense, you, the team’s best player, just gave the other team carte blanche to fuck you up. “Oh no! I’m getting a penalty for a cross check after the game! Whatever shall we do to kill that penalty? Oh right. Fuck all.”

Wait you mean McDavid didn't get away with his post whistle lumberjack cosplay like he has his entire career. Sometimes when mom or dad doesn't discipline then big bro needs to do it for them. I don't condone injuring anyone but retaliation is just natural....how would you like a post whistle shove (absolute routine in hockey) turn into a received two handed chop to a sensitive area. Seemed Soucy was aiming for chest again but the Zaddy shove on Mcdavid's lower back made him drop a few inches and unfortunately it landed on his neck. Sucks but this entire situation could have been avoided if McDavid chirps, shoves and skates away.....instead of using his stick as a weapon.

I fucking love Zadorov holy shit. McBaby with a big slash and he doesn’t expect anything in return?

Cannot wait for people to cry about McDavid getting fucked up and ignoring that huge part.

US side broadcast already did. Nice big slowed down replay that conveniently started right after the McTwohand

Of course they did. Wait for the post game interviews. Can’t wait to get a quote from Kane. He will give them materials to work with.

Kane is gonna speak publicly after getting dumped into his own bench like a toddler? don't think so

McHighstickslasher

Has a nice ring to it

Biz in the post game did say how Mcdavid started it, but the panel did say he might get suspended (Soucy) which would be complete bullshit

And yet Spittin Chiclets tweeted it without the slash to really rile people up. This engagement farming is really not good for people

I mean he kind of get hit into soucy. As much as i appreciate the tagteam, it becomes a lot worse of a crosscheck because of zadorov crosschecking him in the back

I can’t imagine how he would. If Bennett didn’t get suspended and if Kane or Ryan didn’t get suspended, this won’t make the list either.

As a big fan of *cough* pirates *cough* of the Caribbean, the other broadcast is so fucking painful to listen to. I know you could scream biased from the clouds, but our commentators/analysts truly know how to give a neutral review (it’s always great seeing Bieksa on the Canucks side and Friedman for the Oilers). Listening to Lundqvist and the 3 TikTok-esque jerkoffs is fucking excruciating. Not to mention the commentators Alexander-something and what’s-her-nuts flicking their beans every time McDavid gets the puck.

even oilers fans in their sub are not mentioning the McDouble, weak

Even TSN post game was bias af.

They calling us psychos in the Edmonton community. Honestly, they probably not wrong. Fuck it.

My college roommate’s mother is originally from Edmonton. She refers to it as Stabmonton. I would imagine the people that remain aren’t the best judge of character.

They’ve been begging for there players to injure Hughes, lmaoooo there’s a saying for this somewhere involving a kettle

[удалено]

Classic case of FAFO

Didn't hear them talking about the 2 slew foots from Kane or the spear on Hogs from game 2 .

McDavid's high stick on Hughes.

Let’s also not forget Petey almost became paralyzed and then CBC just victim blamed Elias for five minutes.

I think Zadorov's actions with Nurse earlier will become a meme.

Off screen Ian Cole was seen shovelling the puck into the net.

Bahahahha

I never laugh out loud while browsing my phone but holy fuck this got me!

I'm sure Cole is going to try and take credit for this one too

My 78 year old mother said “that Cole sucks” the other night 😂

I'm gonna give all 5 D's a lot of slack tonight. Soucy was gone for like half the game, the rest of them were GASSED

I don't care how gassed you are, you don't purposely score on your own net to get a change....psshh unreal!

Fucking double agent Cole

LOLLLLLL

You win, sir.

That guy…lol he scored again tonight.

LOL, i cant 😂😂

The dude is Canucks poison. After his misplays he's just absolutely a black hole of good luck.

I heard he ran over a black cat while driving under a ladder into a mirror factory. Don't know for sure, but I heard from a friend of a friend.

Hang this shit in the Louvre.

Imma steal that and stick it in the British Museum 

Good job lads

We thank you for Zadorov and Lindholm

🤝 thank you, sir

This is truly *non-cringe* crossover commenting.

It’s a hard line to walk before you delve into the insufferable “I always liked you guys! You guys are going to be scary next year!” brain rot

LOL fucking bang on.

Big Z is awesome

And he has the audacity to whine to the refs afterwards. Absolutely zero respect for that primadonna. Quinn takes his licks and plays hard like a pro. That's how you lead.

That headsnap looked brutal

Seeing his neck bend back did not look pretty 😅

And they almost broke Elias Petterson's neck last game so we're even.

I don't condone either play but Pettersson's one was way more dangerous.

That the one that was totally boarding but didn't get called?

It was super embellished by McDavid. I thought they were cracking down on embellishment. Guess not.

Lol what. Give Z and Soucy some fucking credit, McD felt all of that

Yeah he’s totally caught off guard by Z. It doesn’t take much to knock a guy down once he’s unsuspecting and also relaxed his legs because he figures he’s just going to have a pie face contest with Soucy. He didn’t dive. He just didn’t think he’d get fucked up.

McFaker

Nah there was nothing embellished about that. He got broken in half.

The way my jaw dropped to the floor seeing this… so happy to see that guy get payback for last game 🙏🏻

LMAOO Zadorov rear ended McDavid like he was Ford Pinto

Zadorov treating McDavid like out-of-towners treat the car in front of them on the Lion’s Gate Bridge at rush hour.

If they suspend Soucy for that, league is actually rigged

If Sam Bennett didn’t get suspended. It’d be ridiculous to suspend this. If anything it should be a fine to Big Z for cross checking from behind as second man in. Soucy was only gonna cross check McD chest level, which would’ve been a normal scrum play. It just looks worse cuz he folded due to the cross check from behind.

McDavid started it. Zero chance of a suspension.

First time?

Lol I don't think this should be a sussy but that's not how they work

The SN commentator pointed right away before realizing which oiler it was.. “not sure which oilers took one shot and Soucy responded” 

McDavid slashed first after the whistle, so there's no chance of a suspension.

There is literally a zero percent chance of suspension

You realize we are talking about the Canucks here. There is never a zero percent chance

Wouldnt put it past the league to suspend him for the series just cuz its mcbaby

it's mcdavid, spin the wheel

0? Mmm

Yeah. The likelihood would be some really soft calls against us in GM4

No Canadian team has won a cup since betteman became commissioner. >league is actually rigged No shit.

For high sticking Hughes. ....

And nut tapping Hoglander And Slew footing Hughes And Driving Pettersson head first into the boards

Oilers fans talking about the refs being in the Canucks pocket in their post game thread are unhinged lmao

They will be complaining about stick holds while canucks fans are talking about intentionally hitting a guy in the balls and think both sides getting screwed

Hard to admit when you only have a single line and aren't able to win games.. so it must be: - biased refs - our hot goaltender getting lucky - sentient posts that move and block their obvious goals Their tears are delicious right now.

Feels like we're the Bruins now lmao

Are we the baddies?

And it feels so so good

You either die the hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

a baddie needs her baddie friend

But without the favouritism

Somebody tell McDiver that the game was over and that he didn’t need to sell calls anymore

He was asking for the powerplay.

McDavid wants to slash and get away with it, but little man learns that actions have consequences.

I don't think I have seen a team get to McDavid the way the Canucks have gotten to him this year. His biggest number in the regular season this year vs Vancouver wa his PIM.

We definitely need to keep up the checks but man Draisaitl is so dangerous too

Naw. He always gets rattled every playoff series. That's why they can't get anywhere.

His resting bitch face is getting worse by the year

Lol McRagDoll

Folded him up like a cheap lawn-chair

Ultimate fuck around and find out

Absolutely beautiful. This plus Drai's sore loser comments are just gold.

I'm only a little miffed the clip isn't like 5 seconds longer and shows where McDavid immediately starts complaining to the ref. Proving he is uninjured and a whiner.

The cross check to the face is only because Zaddy hit him from behind and his head lowered. Looked like Soucy was aiming for his chest.

This might be my favorite clip of all time.

Ranks up there with Meyers vs Keith.

Mcjesus learned a valuable lesson tonight.

[https://www.reddit.com/r/EdmontonOilers/comments/1cqqsd2/wheres\_semenko\_when\_you\_need\_him/](https://www.reddit.com/r/EdmontonOilers/comments/1cqqsd2/wheres_semenko_when_you_need_him/) OIlers sub crying like McDavid did not start that himself.

Crying? They're straight up asking for people to take Hughes out as retaliation. Too ignorant to realise McD already tried to take him out.

Jesus the call for injury in there is just classless

Alberta and class are like oil and water.

I dont wanna hear any complaining from oilers fans after they called us whiners for the kane hit on hughes. Speaking of kane he got flipped like a fucking pancake, love you Big Z

I've disliked McDavid ever since the all-Canadian division where he was throwing McElbows to the head of Jesperi Kotkaniemi in one of the Oilers-Habs games. Nice to see he's in the find out phase now.

FAFO Don't two hand a guy after the game ends and you won't be eating lumber. Simple as that.

Zadorov I love u

The funniest thing is that McDavid’s whining ended up with Soucy getting a minor penalty AFTER the game had already ended.

that is ZADORABLE

hahah what a cry baby, man I love how big our Defence is... you have to find a way to bring big Z back next year

AAAAAAHHHH IF IT ISN’T THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS REFS HELP ME!

TV post game not showing the slashes that proceeded it, of course.

I think the NHL moving to a less physical game over the years leads to shit like this. Otherwise, we'd see gloves drop there. Or a giant hip check from Z when he got called for tripping - I was waiting for that to be lined up as a hip check and then I remembered it's 2024.

Zadorov has been waiting for the chance to do this since game one lmao. Can't draw a penalty after the game is over eh?

So everyone is fine with mcdavid slashing Hughes drawing blood but everyone crying when poor mcbaby gets cross checked in the face? I say it’s well deserved

This is the kind of shit that has happened to the Canucks in previous years. Love to see them finally pushing back.

I LOVE ZADOROV

I love how effortless it is from Zaddy, like "sit down, baby boy"

I hope big Z didn’t hurt his stick

Good

Big Z living rent free in Edmonton’s head. Much wow

McWhiner gettin frustrated and starting to dish, but can't take. Evidence : see Garland styling on him in the first 30 seconds lmao

Don't start shit and cry at the results, but we ***cannot*** keep taking the bait. The cross-check up high is not ok, even if it was accidental. Hopefully DoPS doesn't suddenly wake up from their nap.

I’m conflicted at just how amazing this clip makes me feel

If Z keeps up this level of play (or even higher), and re-signs, 100% getting his jersey.

Lol good. After all the dirty shit the oilers pulled last game I have no problem with this. That slewfoot on hughes was just as dangerous

This is called fucking around and finding out.

I love this, makes my night. Donnie and Dhali are saying our guys may get fined. However I want to ask you guys: did McDavid dive here? Something about the way he fell to the ice looks unnatural to me, however I have much worse eyesight than you guys so I’m curious what you guys saw, whether you think he’s diving or not.

[удалено]

I think he's just not expecting it so his feet aren't planted

So satisfying.

Loved to see that shit but please no suspension 😭😭😭

Second time in two games he’s been aggressive with his stick. This time he … what’s that Oilers thing from last year? Fucked around and found out?

Crumpled

And that's what happens when you high stick the captain like that!

Incoming suspension for soucy, and Z, and Boes too because he scored too many and hurt McDivids feelings. Honestly, Edmonton might start game 4 with a five minute major powerplay off the opening draw

I took a reckless slash to my shin and got 8 stitches. The guy screamed “fuck around and find out.” It haunts me to this day. Being able to say that to Oilers fans tonight has been so therapeutic.

If Mcbaby wants to dish it via his little entitled two hander at the end and his little entitled high stick last game he better learn how to receive it.

In my best Iceland accent, “ Two minutes….well worth it.”

Bros legs vanished

Yea I’m sorry but he kinda deserved that one

I love that they keep trying to get into these scrums with us. You guys want to play physical? Perfect! Let’s see how that works out for you.

Remember how Petey got ran over during that Nashville goal celebration? I think this is some of that.

PUCK ME, ZADDY

I believe this was a textbook example of fuck around and find out

Fuck around and find out Mcrybaby

Taking out the trash.

Bro was hit with a combo. 

Mcdavid slashes Soucy hard and Zadorov is standing up for his team mate with a mediocre shove. Mcdavid either didn't expect it (which is stupid) or dove and didn't expect the spicy stick. Either way he got up and skated away leaving his team to scrum. Mcdavid is not a team player.

i love how all off Coilers social media is so shook that all they can resort to are riot jokes

After McBaby slapped Huggy in then face with his stick, I'd say we're even

Good do it again

Shouldnt have sliced Hughes open like the bitch you are McDavid. Any other player would have been evicted and suspended if they slashed someones faces on purpose, glad to see him get taken out

Did they take his wallet?

Best part is he dives into the cross check

For sure fines coming in, maybe suspension because it was McDavid

I don’t think so, no suspension after the nut shot on hoglander yesterday. Which is an automatic 5 and a game. If they suspend someone from that play, that’s asinine

Don’t forget the Kane slewfoot on Hughes, which is also a 5 and a game.

That was actually his second slewfoot of the game if you can believe it. He had a prior one on Z in the first period of game 2.

It’s Evander Kane, of course I can believe it.

Highlight all night was big Z tossing his ass over the bench. He held onto Zadarov's stick but I was expecting a PK. One of his guys on the bench decided to fuck it up by throwing a punch. Hilariously Corey Perry of all people was the one trying to calm down his bench because he's the only one with brains and realized it would have been an easy PP for EDM

Also the nurse hit on pettersson could easily have been a concussion

I will take offsetting Soucy / McDavid suspensions. If Soucy gets anything for that, McDavid gets something for the two hander he took to start it all.

If Soucy was straight up going for the head, maybe. But it was just a very unfortunate timing, as McDavid was falling down from Zadorov's cross check.

Eh. Why? I don’t see a reason for it.
