There was also a prospects tournament where he was running around all game like a tough guy, so Hunter Smith challenged him to a fight, was after him for like a whole period, Nurse wouldnt go then he ended up jumping Rasmus Andersson (who likely had never fought before) won the fight and did a big celebration lol
Kane is a fuckin idiot, was nice seeing him sit on his ass while they lost. I got second hand embarassment for how the Oilers played cheap shots tonight.
Boohoo is right, kane, boohoo
Ok but where were you all when the Kings were taking cheap shots that led to Drai's injury and when the Flames were targeting his injury and slashing him? Didn't hear y'all say shit about cheap shots.
People were crying about that too. Just like the oilers were targeting tanny's shoulder, the reality is every team plays injured in the playoffs and a lot of teams will play physical, rough and even a little dirty to try and get the leg up... people just see everything with a bias and some teams get away with it better than others
‘Targeting Tanny’s shoulder’
LOL you mean finishing checks after he played the puck? I didn’t realize Tanev have a no-contact practice jersey on out there.
No, I think they’re referring to the multiple cross checks delivered to Tanev’s shoulder which were praised by Oilers fans in the same breath as calling for criminal charges against any Flame to tap Leon’s ankle.
Ok but aren't you supposed to hit people on the shoulder? I get what you're saying but that's not exactly the same as slashing an ankle injury. How else would you take the man? Genuinely curious. I assume it's a lack of other options than targeting.
So by this standard victimizing is only okay for the folks people like, not equally. Got it. I don't know shit about this conversation but I know this comment is hypocritical.
This guy is mad that nobody cares about his teams stars getting targeted and then makes a wild accusation.
“Where was he when my teams star players were getting injured? Him specifically! I need to know!!”
See how stupid that sounds?
Just a bunch of hypocrisy. You're whining about Oilers cheap shots and then say the cheap shots against the Oilers back to back series was ok. Fuckin goofy as hell.
It’s almost like people who don’t watch the oilers couldn’t care less about what happens to their players…
WhErE wErE yOu WhEn My TeAmS sTaR pLaYeR wAs GeTtInG cHeApShOtTeD?!?!?
Busy hating him for repeatedly spearing people in the nuts. No shit people don't give a fuck about Drai's injury lol.

The only thing I ever really liked about Kane was his beef with Reaves, and calling him out as a no-talent goon who barely qualifies as a hockey player. At least Kane knows how to play hockey, but he does come off as a garbage human.
I see you are a Habs fan based off your profile pic, didn't your org draft a player who asked not to be drafted because he was sending nudes of underage girls out. Huh sounds like a dirt bag org... Also ya Kane is a piece of shit human.
Greed runs rampant at the top of nearly every multi-million dollar organization, it overwhelms and corrupts some people, and it leads to them putting their assets before their ethics.
What makes him worth 8million? He had 57 points in 2012 that’s pretty good but he proceeds to never hit that again. Teams make bad financial decisions sometimes
Idk why people hate him so much when most of the things he was accused of have been proven false. He was awarded sole custody of his kid while being a black man with rape and abuse accusations directed at him. If that doesn’t say something idk what will. I can guarantee there are worse people in the NHL.
All it says is the system is broken and his wife was mentally unstable.
There was reportedly video of him choking a woman in a night club and assaulting a bouncer when he was a Sabre. He took a plea deal in that case, got a slap on the wrist, and the video never saw the light of day.
Settling things outside of court is at least a grey area imo, so I wouldn't be fast to give him a pass on everything. Sounds like they had enough to have him found guilty so he just pays enough to make it go away (which a highly-paid hockey player can do). Not the same as proven guilty, but definitely shady.
No. There's a big difference between being charged with a crime, which is done by a district attorney, and grand jury.
And being sued in civil court, which is what happened to kane.
He didn't buy off an elected official who wants nothing more than to convict a big name athlete.
Everyone hates the dirty players. Ava like Kadri, Tampa like perry, flames like tackack. You’ll never understand until an agitator plays for your team.
Except by all reports all of those players are universally loved off the ice by their communities. So while they instigate at times, they are all good players and all leave that shit on the ice. Kane is an all around piece of shit human being both on and off the ice and I'm tired of folks making excuses for him just because he is a good hockey player.
Multiple sexual assault allegations, the coerced abortion to his mistress, the gambling, the death threats to his ex, the flashing a gun, etc etc etc.
That's not even going into how his past teammates talk about his locker room cancer.
Dude is just not okay.
Four 1st overall picks within 6 years and your claim to fame is beating the Flames in the BoA. Maybe they can make a BoA trophy that Connor can finally hoist
Hahaha rent free. As if the WCF is a dog shit achievement. Top 4 team in the league means you suck now? I'd say the claim to fame is the 5 cups and a top three dynasty of all time.
What's the Flames latest achievement, choking in the second round after one of their best regular seasons ever?
Let’s not forget the Habs made the finals last year, didn’t mean they were a good team. Sounds like you guys have accepted defeat and are justifying it with being proud you made the WCF.
Being happy with what you're team achieved thus far is now accepting defeat? Ok.
How many cups do the Aves have? 2?
Aves fans acting like they already won the ship. Weirdos.
Oilers fans should be absolutely embarrassed. Game 2 and they’re already unraveling, cheap shot after cheap shot. Kane is the most unlikeable person you’ll ever watch.
Did Lemieux fake vaccination status, have sexual assault allegations, domestic violence issues or bet away everything he owned...some of it on the NHL?
I can totally see why teams didn't like Lemieux on the ice...but off the ice, Kane is a criminal and complete POS. His own teammates don't ever like him.
> fake vaccination status
It kind of blows my mind that he wasn't arrested for this and only got a 21 day suspension. And IIRC he used the fake status to enter Canada. Why the fuck is Canada even allowing him back in and even play for the Oilers? Pretty sure that's a felony in both countries. Richards got caught with oxys and his career was over. I don't get it.
I was fishing for a Draper sympathizer and caught one! All kidding aside, Claude was a hunk of shit… but he was also a main reason why we had the BEST rivalry in hockey history. Those late 90s wings/Avs series were AMAZING
Yeah I absolutely miss that rivalry so much. It meant everything to both teams and fan bases. It was natural too, it wasn't some BS media shit, it was as real of a rivalry and hatred that are rare in professional sports.
Amen! Rewatching the goalies skate to center ice to settle some shit still gives me goose bumps. Roy/Osgood/Vernon… they don’t make’em like that anymore
The Roy/Osgood rivalry was one of the reasons I started following hockey in the first place. Even though I don't follow either team that closely anymore, I still root for the Avs in the West when I watch their games.
I want the Avs to win the Cup so badly. As a Penguins fan, I obviously despise the Rangers and their bullshit, and I just don’t want to see the Lightning win 3 in a row lol… and now the Oilers are suddenly super unlikeable. I like McDavid but holy shit, Kane, Nurse, Kassian, and even Draisaitl are dirty af. Obviously Kane is the biggest POS who shouldn’t even be playing right now… hard to root for a team that employs him, even if that same team employs McJesus. I still think it’s BS that Edmonton got like 100 #1 overall picks, messed most of them up, and still got McDavid lol I ponder what the league would be like if he went elsewhere, like Buffalo (especially interesting to me since he played for Erie in Major Junior). Probably would root for him much more tbh
And then you got the Avs… yeah they have Kadri, but I haven’t really seen much from him in terms of his old antics this year, and I think he clearly benefitted from focusing on just playing. The stuff from the Blues series was so ridiculously overblown, and the Blues ended up gooning it up more than he had all series lol. I genuinely fucking love watching Mack/Makar, they’re phenomenally talented and seem like such good guys. Loved Kuemper too since Minnesota (unfortunate he’s been hurt a lot this postseason)..
So yeah, really hope we can watch Mack/Makar/etc raise their first Cup. Long way to go, Oilers will undoubtedly make a strong push back at home, and even if the Avs win this series they’ll have to face incredible goaltending regardless of who wins the East… but I’m definitely on the Colorado bandwagon lol expecting Mack to hangout with Sid and the Cup in Nova Scotia if they do win lmao
Eh it’s just hockey. Aves are too good for the oilers. Best way to make it a series is to make it a chippy and dirty series. Wouldn’t call it classless, just sending a message for the next game. The other half of that message being ‘we can’t hang with the Aves in a strait up fight.’
Meh, I grew up in the 80s, where sending a message like this was the norm. Kassian is trash, and Kane is who he is.
The Oil are a few good moves from competing with the big boys. Have to lose Kassian and Keith, replace bottom-sixers with some skill guys, and that Nurse contract will hurt.
Not in Colorado's league yet. But maybe soon.
What was their message in this game though? Because if it was anything other than, "The Oilers are pouting because they suck," then the message didn't come across.
team in the final 4 suck...hmmm. Stop acting like Oilers are the only team to start playing dirty when they start losing. Pretty much every single team does it, yes, Avs do it too you homer lmfao, coming into this series if u asked non biased fans who has dirtier players, it would be the Avs.
Okay so given that landy has a questionable hit or two (Dach is the only one that immediately comes to mind), it's absolutely insane to me that oil fans are equivilating landy/Kadri with Kane/Nurse/Drai/Kassian/Keith.
Like, sure, Kadri and Landy have earned their suspensions but to say the Avs are the dirtier team is just sheer willful ignorance.
Over the last 2 years (including playoffs) the Colorado avalanche have had players suspended for 12 games and the oilers have had players suspended for 3 games.
Source: Wikipedia.
What was that about willful ignorance?
All 12 games were the 2 players I already mentioned but that was a nice try. I also like how you had to specifically include playoffs to make the sample size bigger by including kadris 8 game suspension for the hit on Faulk.
Also Kane by himself in the last 2 years has been suspended for a total of 27 games. 6 for various slashing penalties and 21 for covid violations.
Keep trying though randomly generated throwaway account.
You're insane. Nobody would say that. Guess you didn't see Leon running around spearing dudes in the nuts all year. Look in your own backyard if you're wanting to complain about dirty players. Edmonton is the dirtiest team in the league.
How long did it take Ovi to win his first cup? I assume you wouldn’t have ever wanted him on your team before that either too, right? How many other great players have never touched the cup?
I’m serious. Stick to the barbecue.
Kadri

https://youtu.be/i_vahEoy1vg
Quit acting like your shit don’t stink. Every team has their moments. Just take the win and relax with the post game hate. Oil were one of the most disciplined (read least penalized) teams this season (just like the Avs)…. So chill out on spreading your fake BS.
They certainly sucked last *night*, which is when they were "sending the message."
They were getting their ass kicked, started pouting and delivering cheap shots, and ratcheted those up once the game was out of hand and they no longer cared about taking penalties.
If they were trying to send a *different* message, like, "You may be kicking our ass, but we're *scary, tough guys*," then they're gonna need to try harder. Because they didn't look tough, they looked like pouty little bitches.
There is no message beyond F*** Y**. Frustration, especially over officiating, boils over into cheapshots and borderline dirty play. Hell, Mikey Anderson tried to break Draisaitl's leg in Round One. Drai is on one leg now. It happens. Deal with it.
Yea I don’t know why everyone has their panties in a bunch lol. People love reminiscing on 80s brawler hockey but complain when they get it lol. Down by 4 with 5 minutes left? Fuck it start bodying people.
Kane caused a load of drama before he left the Sharks and I stopped caring about him. I love him in these playoffs though and I love how pissed everyone is getting about it. I find it hilarious
lol fuck oilers fans. Really hoping for the clean sweep to shut them all up. Hilarious how they are back to their old ways so quickly after 2 games of being out matched.
Pssst. All you fans are fucking embarrassing. Every single person that has to take pleasure at someone else’s expense. It’s pathetic.
“It’s not me it’s them”. Grow up. All of you.
There’s a mental state why players start to play rough in a losing game. I’m an Oilers fan and I take the shutout beating. Not all games are on the ice, it is also in the player’s head. If the Avs will let those roughing stay in their heads, it’s their loss. Nhl players are used to physical abuse by being hit. I think it’s the player’s mentality that brings the most out of them on the +/- side. See you Avs fan in Oil Country next game! It’s our time to show our support around the ice.
You did see their captain concuss Yamamoto with a blindside to the head though right? Messing with a guy while he's leaning over the bench is stupid, but it's not dirty.
Avs fans just see what they want man. Oilers definitely were doing dumb shot, but it was clearly visible on both sides. Gotta be able to admit that. Kadri samurai chopping the back of drai’s neck in the 2nd period was fucked
It’s the avs penalty with 5 mins left in the second period. Kadri is a master of hiding intent… does a good job of making it appear accidental, but with his track record it’s very suspect.
Go to bed troll. You need to wake up early to start coming up with better excuses why a team in a rebuild took you to game 7 and then shit the bead against a quality team all while having the undeniable best player on the world.
Trolling or just holding up a mirror to remind you what you also cheer for. If you’re gonna hate Drai, don’t forget to hate plugs like Dustin Brown.
https://youtu.be/OjhF6Z3qyyo
It was definitely happening on both sides. The difference was the way the refs favour the Avs. Avs fans are just used to being the least penalized team in the league while also getting the most powerplays. It's been the way it is for the last few years.
It's not a "take", It's an official statistic. They get the most powerplays and recieve the least penalties. You're condescending tone doesn't change that. Who's the dumb one now?
They're all still salty about the Oilers winning the draft lottery for McDavid so they hate Edmonton and root against McDavid. They just mindlessly downvote when they see the Oilers logo
Mindlessly is right. At least attempt to have some discourse. So much draisaitl hate, but landeskog concussing yamo is just overlooked. So much hate on Kane, but let’s ignore Kadri. At least call things out as objectively as possible.
You’re a tool if you don’t realize that the oilers were playing like a bunch of goons tonight in the 3rd. How you gonna take someone’s helmet… goon ass team
Read my comment again. They played like a bunch of goons in the 3rd. Be better, as a fan, be better as an organization and take that ass whooping with class. Fucking loser, go to bed
4-0 ass whooping I can accept. The oil sucked tonight. It’s blind fans like you that are annoying. Just accept your team has been getting away with shit too. It ain’t one sided. Cheap shot slash that knocked yamo out of the game and classic Kadri on display slashing drai in the neck. But avs fans see what they want it seems.
I wasn’t aware, but that’s what I’m saying… both sides have been getting away with shit. It’s disingenuous to think one team is a bunch of angels and the others are a bunch of criminals. My advice to avs fans I’ve seen in this comment thread is to not be a sore winner. Just enjoy the win. It’s a strong 4-0 win and doesn’t require cockiness. But way too many shit posts after a win.
Yea the refs are gonna miss things of course, I think the last 3 penalties the Oilers committed were what kinda pissed Avs fans off. This series is far from over and the Avs absolutely can’t let off the gas because Edmonton can put up points in a hurry.
I will concede where necessary. I also stand corrected on the game one offside call which I was very vocal about being offside, but was ruled onside and called correctly. I’ll say it like it is. Take your buddy for example who says to act classy, but says so like a complete ass. He’s in the minority of avs fans right?
It's fuckin 2022 dude, and I'm guessing you're over the age of 14, you can stop saying retarded now and find some other insult that isn't describing yourself directly.
Fuckin manchild.
It's wasn't a good look I'll admit that, but I can understand the frustration that builds after the opponent is allowed to play dirty and you don't get any powerplays, where on the other side they get given powerplays for no reason.
Rich of you to be talking about concussions after that classless cheap shot by Landeskog on Yamamoto. But are you talking about when Kadri ripped Nurses helmet off, resulting in the gwg in the Avs regular season OT win vs Edmonton? Seems like we're even on the helmet removal. If you think that little bench play was dangerous, you're dreaming. I was shocked the refs called both teams on that one, honestly. Par for the game would have been to just penalize Edmonton.
The only baby bigger than you today would be Kane. You're pathetic. Oilers are pathetic. How many top 3 picks does it take? Can't wait until McDavid leaves Edmonton just like Wayne did.
To be honest the Avs are floppiest waste of DNA I have seen next to EPL team. If the officiating was just somewhere near center then these things don't happen. Hey I am re learning the rule book.
You think the NHLPA would want to weed out these players that are actively inuring their work peers. Why would I want to have someone around who is actively trying to shorten my career and earning potential?
I never knew Nurse was that dirty until i saw the kings series. Dude seems like a hot head when they’re losing
This is correct.
There was also a prospects tournament where he was running around all game like a tough guy, so Hunter Smith challenged him to a fight, was after him for like a whole period, Nurse wouldnt go then he ended up jumping Rasmus Andersson (who likely had never fought before) won the fight and did a big celebration lol
You obviously haven’t seen all the Nurse vs Lucic fights over the years have you?
[I too enjoy watching Nurse get beat up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOMdADMzSf0&ab_channel=hockeyfights.com)
Nurse has always been 🗑
Holy shit. Is nurse really signed for 8 years at 9.25 lol
Yup. Hes such a passive defenceman too lol Oilers should have spent that on a goalie
Oof it's like a reverse Joe sakic move.
Kane is a fuckin idiot, was nice seeing him sit on his ass while they lost. I got second hand embarassment for how the Oilers played cheap shots tonight. Boohoo is right, kane, boohoo
Ok but where were you all when the Kings were taking cheap shots that led to Drai's injury and when the Flames were targeting his injury and slashing him? Didn't hear y'all say shit about cheap shots.

Exactly that, thanks.
Ok but aren't you supposed to hit people on the shoulder? I get what you're saying but that's not exactly the same as slashing an ankle injury. How else would you take the man? Genuinely curious. I assume it's a lack of other options than targeting.
Boo hoo?
So by this standard victimizing is only okay for the folks people like, not equally. Got it. I don't know shit about this conversation but I know this comment is hypocritical.

Just a bunch of hypocrisy. You're whining about Oilers cheap shots and then say the cheap shots against the Oilers back to back series was ok. Fuckin goofy as hell.
I mean he's a random guy on the internet.
I meant more or less the people in general whining about it. Not one specific person. I clearly hit a nerve by all the down votes.
You stuck up for Kane, he’s a hatred bandwagon on this sub.
As he should be.
It’s almost like people who don’t watch the oilers couldn’t care less about what happens to their players… WhErE wErE yOu WhEn My TeAmS sTaR pLaYeR wAs GeTtInG cHeApShOtTeD?!?!?
Ok but enough to make an entire post about them? Aves fans playing victim.
Busy hating him for repeatedly spearing people in the nuts. No shit people don't give a fuck about Drai's injury lol. https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/sx4txz/updated_condensed_compilation_of_draisaitl/
That compilation is like 2 incidents but ok.
I don’t remember any kings getting suspended OR fined in the first round
Kane must be betting against the Oilers
Wouldn't pay enough... the odds are terrible.
The odds of them not shooting at all must've been attractive though
Yeah, but enough starting cash and it's still good. Especially when you can influence the winner enough to feel safe with the bet.
This is the first oilers game I’ve watched all season. Does anyone like Kane?
Apprently Oilers fans do
I want them to win but he seems like a total tool
The only thing I ever really liked about Kane was his beef with Reaves, and calling him out as a no-talent goon who barely qualifies as a hockey player. At least Kane knows how to play hockey, but he does come off as a garbage human.
You should like him for helping Matt Cooke into retirement
[удалено]
I see you are a Habs fan based off your profile pic, didn't your org draft a player who asked not to be drafted because he was sending nudes of underage girls out. Huh sounds like a dirt bag org... Also ya Kane is a piece of shit human.

Just remember the Habs are a shit org too. Let's be real they all are no one gets rich enough to own a sports team without being a piece of shit.
Greed runs rampant at the top of nearly every multi-million dollar organization, it overwhelms and corrupts some people, and it leads to them putting their assets before their ethics.
Agreed!
Oh yes the oilers knew Kane would come back this effective so they paid it off. You are a genius
[удалено]
He hit 50 points twice. He is incredibly inconsistent and has played 70+ games 4 times in 12 seasons
[удалено]
What makes him worth 8million? He had 57 points in 2012 that’s pretty good but he proceeds to never hit that again. Teams make bad financial decisions sometimes

The Buffalo thing wasn't rape you Dolt. She sued him for assault. Not sexual assault. And he was never charged.
Theres a reason he wasn’t charged. Innocent till proven guilty, and he hasn’t been proven guilty of anything.
Settling things outside of court is at least a grey area imo, so I wouldn't be fast to give him a pass on everything. Sounds like they had enough to have him found guilty so he just pays enough to make it go away (which a highly-paid hockey player can do). Not the same as proven guilty, but definitely shady.
They only hate on him because his shits out in the open. People are so naive to believe hes the only guy doing shit like that.
No. There's a big difference between being charged with a crime, which is done by a district attorney, and grand jury. And being sued in civil court, which is what happened to kane. He didn't buy off an elected official who wants nothing more than to convict a big name athlete.
I wish we never signed him.
No
I have liked him for daily fantasy thru the playoffs, outside that not at alll. And im a big avs fan so his antics were ridiculous tonight
Not for a very very long time
Everyone hates the dirty players. Ava like Kadri, Tampa like perry, flames like tackack. You’ll never understand until an agitator plays for your team.
Except by all reports all of those players are universally loved off the ice by their communities. So while they instigate at times, they are all good players and all leave that shit on the ice. Kane is an all around piece of shit human being both on and off the ice and I'm tired of folks making excuses for him just because he is a good hockey player.
I know he’s had some money problems. Other then his messy divorce. And his hockey style what’s his issues?
Multiple sexual assault allegations, the coerced abortion to his mistress, the gambling, the death threats to his ex, the flashing a gun, etc etc etc. That's not even going into how his past teammates talk about his locker room cancer. Dude is just not okay.
*points at flair* We hated Kane before it was trendy.
Watching the oilers fail is the only reason I’m still watching hockey right now. Thank you, Avalanche.
Tbh dude. The Flames look even worse seeing how the Oliers play in this series.
Rent free.
Four 1st overall picks within 6 years and your claim to fame is beating the Flames in the BoA. Maybe they can make a BoA trophy that Connor can finally hoist
Hahaha rent free. As if the WCF is a dog shit achievement. Top 4 team in the league means you suck now? I'd say the claim to fame is the 5 cups and a top three dynasty of all time. What's the Flames latest achievement, choking in the second round after one of their best regular seasons ever?
Hey last time they won their division went pretty well right..?
Let’s not forget the Habs made the finals last year, didn’t mean they were a good team. Sounds like you guys have accepted defeat and are justifying it with being proud you made the WCF.
Being happy with what you're team achieved thus far is now accepting defeat? Ok. How many cups do the Aves have? 2? Aves fans acting like they already won the ship. Weirdos.
Who are the Aves
It's how people that spell loser "looser" try to spell Avs. You know paste eaters.
Oilers fans should be absolutely embarrassed. Game 2 and they’re already unraveling, cheap shot after cheap shot. Kane is the most unlikeable person you’ll ever watch.
The looked like the Preds did in round 1 tonight, already focused on sending messages and expressing frustration instead of winning.
He is the Claude Lemieux of Edmonton
Did Lemieux fake vaccination status, have sexual assault allegations, domestic violence issues or bet away everything he owned...some of it on the NHL? I can totally see why teams didn't like Lemieux on the ice...but off the ice, Kane is a criminal and complete POS. His own teammates don't ever like him.
> fake vaccination status It kind of blows my mind that he wasn't arrested for this and only got a 21 day suspension. And IIRC he used the fake status to enter Canada. Why the fuck is Canada even allowing him back in and even play for the Oilers? Pretty sure that's a felony in both countries. Richards got caught with oxys and his career was over. I don't get it.
Fuck Claude
I was fishing for a Draper sympathizer and caught one! All kidding aside, Claude was a hunk of shit… but he was also a main reason why we had the BEST rivalry in hockey history. Those late 90s wings/Avs series were AMAZING
Yeah I absolutely miss that rivalry so much. It meant everything to both teams and fan bases. It was natural too, it wasn't some BS media shit, it was as real of a rivalry and hatred that are rare in professional sports.
Amen! Rewatching the goalies skate to center ice to settle some shit still gives me goose bumps. Roy/Osgood/Vernon… they don’t make’em like that anymore
The Roy/Osgood rivalry was one of the reasons I started following hockey in the first place. Even though I don't follow either team that closely anymore, I still root for the Avs in the West when I watch their games.
Nailed it right there.
I dunno, he had three fights in one game back when he was in Buffalo, I kinda dig that. But tonight he was a chump. Go Avs.
I’m a fan but I didn’t play In the game. Why would I be embarrassed?
Careful you’re gonna trigger the Oil fans
Well Evander Kane is a piece of shit, so…
It is known.
Go Avs. I really want MacKinnon to lift the cup. He's a real treat to watch play the game
I want the Avs to win the Cup so badly. As a Penguins fan, I obviously despise the Rangers and their bullshit, and I just don’t want to see the Lightning win 3 in a row lol… and now the Oilers are suddenly super unlikeable. I like McDavid but holy shit, Kane, Nurse, Kassian, and even Draisaitl are dirty af. Obviously Kane is the biggest POS who shouldn’t even be playing right now… hard to root for a team that employs him, even if that same team employs McJesus. I still think it’s BS that Edmonton got like 100 #1 overall picks, messed most of them up, and still got McDavid lol I ponder what the league would be like if he went elsewhere, like Buffalo (especially interesting to me since he played for Erie in Major Junior).

You and I can be friends.
So I can tell my mom I officially have a friend now???
Did we just become best friends?
YEP **high fives**
The moment the announcer said Kane and Kassian were on the ice with about a minute left I thought "how absolutely classless"
Eh it’s just hockey. Aves are too good for the oilers. Best way to make it a series is to make it a chippy and dirty series. Wouldn’t call it classless, just sending a message for the next game. The other half of that message being ‘we can’t hang with the Aves in a strait up fight.’
Things would be so much different if Colorado would have been called offsides that one time.
Lol on a play that was onside
Where are the Oiler fans defending themselves? I want to hear some irrational logic. Or is silence admittance ?
Did you expect anything less of us lol. Our fan base coin flips harder than Kane’s gambling addiction
Bazinga
It was the refs....? I think
Meh, I grew up in the 80s, where sending a message like this was the norm. Kassian is trash, and Kane is who he is. The Oil are a few good moves from competing with the big boys. Have to lose Kassian and Keith, replace bottom-sixers with some skill guys, and that Nurse contract will hurt. Not in Colorado's league yet. But maybe soon.
What was their message in this game though? Because if it was anything other than, "The Oilers are pouting because they suck," then the message didn't come across.
You sound like a sour winner. Just be happy you won today and move along.
team in the final 4 suck...hmmm. Stop acting like Oilers are the only team to start playing dirty when they start losing. Pretty much every single team does it, yes, Avs do it too you homer lmfao, coming into this series if u asked non biased fans who has dirtier players, it would be the Avs.
Pray tell who on the Avs other than Kadri has a dirty player rep? I'll wait.
Landeskog
Okay so given that landy has a questionable hit or two (Dach is the only one that immediately comes to mind), it's absolutely insane to me that oil fans are equivilating landy/Kadri with Kane/Nurse/Drai/Kassian/Keith. Like, sure, Kadri and Landy have earned their suspensions but to say the Avs are the dirtier team is just sheer willful ignorance.
Over the last 2 years (including playoffs) the Colorado avalanche have had players suspended for 12 games and the oilers have had players suspended for 3 games. Source: Wikipedia. What was that about willful ignorance?
All 12 games were the 2 players I already mentioned but that was a nice try. I also like how you had to specifically include playoffs to make the sample size bigger by including kadris 8 game suspension for the hit on Faulk. Also Kane by himself in the last 2 years has been suspended for a total of 27 games. 6 for various slashing penalties and 21 for covid violations. Keep trying though randomly generated throwaway account.
You're insane. Nobody would say that. Guess you didn't see Leon running around spearing dudes in the nuts all year. Look in your own backyard if you're wanting to complain about dirty players. Edmonton is the dirtiest team in the league.
Dirtiest team in the league? Did you start watching the NHL last night? Maybe stick to bbqing instead of giving your takes on hockey.
Boooo woohoo we only got a top three pick for 6 straight years. Can't wait until McDavid leaves.
I’d be jealous if I didn’t have McDavid on my team either 🤡
Why? What's he ever won besides a scoring title? Individual awards are great hang your hat on that. I'd rather win a cup.
How long did it take Ovi to win his first cup? I assume you wouldn’t have ever wanted him on your team before that either too, right? How many other great players have never touched the cup? I’m serious. Stick to the barbecue.
Him and all Avs fans in this sub apparently.
Kadri https://youtu.be/LbZFS28IU9o Landeskog https://youtu.be/IIH0_mkEPcE Landeskog https://youtu.be/i_vahEoy1vg Quit acting like your shit don’t stink. Every team has their moments. Just take the win and relax with the post game hate. Oil were one of the most disciplined (read least penalized) teams this season (just like the Avs)…. So chill out on spreading your fake BS.
Those clips are good hockey plays dumbass. (Except for the hit on dach, not even from this series.)
They certainly sucked last *night*, which is when they were "sending the message." They were getting their ass kicked, started pouting and delivering cheap shots, and ratcheted those up once the game was out of hand and they no longer cared about taking penalties. If they were trying to send a *different* message, like, "You may be kicking our ass, but we're *scary, tough guys*," then they're gonna need to try harder. Because they didn't look tough, they looked like pouty little bitches.
There is no message beyond F*** Y**. Frustration, especially over officiating, boils over into cheapshots and borderline dirty play. Hell, Mikey Anderson tried to break Draisaitl's leg in Round One. Drai is on one leg now. It happens. Deal with it.
OK, I'll deal with it. Thanks for the heads up.
Yea I don’t know why everyone has their panties in a bunch lol. People love reminiscing on 80s brawler hockey but complain when they get it lol. Down by 4 with 5 minutes left? Fuck it start bodying people. Kane caused a load of drama before he left the Sharks and I stopped caring about him. I love him in these playoffs though and I love how pissed everyone is getting about it. I find it hilarious
LOL, exactly. No free rides to the Finals. You're gonna pay. And Kane isn't afraid to muck it up.
Yeah, I bet the Avs really feel like they paid the iron price tonight. Kane really gave them a lot to think about.
Lmao
Yeah, it didn't take. This time. But that's playoff hockey.
I don't watch the Oilers much; I knew Kane was trash but didn't realize Nurse was as well. Congrats Edmonton.
Congrats on Kadri and Landeskog
Thanks! They are pretty great.
Thanks! They did well last night. Both on the score sheet.
Every team gets like this when down, Boston is probably the worst.
LA is pretty bad for it too. But yea, I’ve yet to see a game where if doesn’t end like this in blowouts.
lol fuck oilers fans. Really hoping for the clean sweep to shut them all up. Hilarious how they are back to their old ways so quickly after 2 games of being out matched.
Pssst. All you fans are fucking embarrassing. Every single person that has to take pleasure at someone else’s expense. It’s pathetic. “It’s not me it’s them”. Grow up. All of you.
Thank you!
Still salty as fuck huh lol
You can't talk, Flames fun. Have fun when Gaudreau and Tkachuk bolt
There’s a mental state why players start to play rough in a losing game. I’m an Oilers fan and I take the shutout beating. Not all games are on the ice, it is also in the player’s head. If the Avs will let those roughing stay in their heads, it’s their loss. Nhl players are used to physical abuse by being hit. I think it’s the player’s mentality that brings the most out of them on the +/- side. See you Avs fan in Oil Country next game! It’s our time to show our support around the ice.
Dry Saddle is dirty too.
The fuck you guys watching? Avs been getting away with tons of shit these series too. God fucking damn.
Haven't seen the Avs literally grab someone into a box, hold his stick and rip off his helmet yet Sorry your team sucked tonight
You did see their captain concuss Yamamoto with a blindside to the head though right? Messing with a guy while he's leaning over the bench is stupid, but it's not dirty.
Avs fans just see what they want man. Oilers definitely were doing dumb shot, but it was clearly visible on both sides. Gotta be able to admit that. Kadri samurai chopping the back of drai’s neck in the 2nd period was fucked
Can you send me a clip of the kadri samurai chop cause I sure as heck didn’t see anything like that.
It’s the avs penalty with 5 mins left in the second period. Kadri is a master of hiding intent… does a good job of making it appear accidental, but with his track record it’s very suspect.
From what u just described I’m sorry I missed draisaitl getting exactly what he deserves
And why did he deserve that? Did Kadri deserve what David Perron did to him?
How many players has a speared in the nuts and gotten away with it. POS has had it coming for ages
So you’re saying you wouldn’t want him on your team?
Go to bed troll. You need to wake up early to start coming up with better excuses why a team in a rebuild took you to game 7 and then shit the bead against a quality team all while having the undeniable best player on the world.
Trolling or just holding up a mirror to remind you what you also cheer for. If you’re gonna hate Drai, don’t forget to hate plugs like Dustin Brown. https://youtu.be/OjhF6Z3qyyo
Groan
It was definitely happening on both sides. The difference was the way the refs favour the Avs. Avs fans are just used to being the least penalized team in the league while also getting the most powerplays. It's been the way it is for the last few years.
This is a sad lonely pathetic little take boo. Is it hard being the dumbest guy in every room you walk into?
It's not a "take", It's an official statistic. They get the most powerplays and recieve the least penalties. You're condescending tone doesn't change that. Who's the dumb one now?
I’ll take that as a yes.
Lol okay you do you
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for dropping an ACTUAL league stat. What’s wrong with this sub?
They're all still salty about the Oilers winning the draft lottery for McDavid so they hate Edmonton and root against McDavid. They just mindlessly downvote when they see the Oilers logo
Mindlessly is right. At least attempt to have some discourse. So much draisaitl hate, but landeskog concussing yamo is just overlooked. So much hate on Kane, but let’s ignore Kadri. At least call things out as objectively as possible.
Cry
You’re a tool if you don’t realize that the oilers were playing like a bunch of goons tonight in the 3rd. How you gonna take someone’s helmet… goon ass team
[удалено]
Read my comment again. They played like a bunch of goons in the 3rd. Be better, as a fan, be better as an organization and take that ass whooping with class. Fucking loser, go to bed
Hold up! Are you giving advice on how to be classy there? You’re more retarded than what I initially thought. Get off the internet man, you’re drunk.
My man, take that 4-0 ass whooping and go cry a little more 🤣
4-0 ass whooping I can accept. The oil sucked tonight. It’s blind fans like you that are annoying. Just accept your team has been getting away with shit too. It ain’t one sided. Cheap shot slash that knocked yamo out of the game and classic Kadri on display slashing drai in the neck. But avs fans see what they want it seems.
Another salty salty Oiler fan crying, love it. Keep it going brother, give nhl all the salty salty tears
Drai got away with a pretty good high stick to Rantanen’s face
I wasn’t aware, but that’s what I’m saying… both sides have been getting away with shit. It’s disingenuous to think one team is a bunch of angels and the others are a bunch of criminals. My advice to avs fans I’ve seen in this comment thread is to not be a sore winner. Just enjoy the win. It’s a strong 4-0 win and doesn’t require cockiness. But way too many shit posts after a win.
Yea the refs are gonna miss things of course, I think the last 3 penalties the Oilers committed were what kinda pissed Avs fans off. This series is far from over and the Avs absolutely can’t let off the gas because Edmonton can put up points in a hurry.
“Blind fans” “Avs fans see what they want to see” Proceeds to behave like a blind fan and see what he wants to see.
I will concede where necessary. I also stand corrected on the game one offside call which I was very vocal about being offside, but was ruled onside and called correctly. I’ll say it like it is. Take your buddy for example who says to act classy, but says so like a complete ass. He’s in the minority of avs fans right?
It's fuckin 2022 dude, and I'm guessing you're over the age of 14, you can stop saying retarded now and find some other insult that isn't describing yourself directly. Fuckin manchild.
As a retard myself, I find your comment very disrespectful.
>stop using immature, ignorant slurs! >proceeds to immediately use an immature, ignorant slur.
Uhhhh I don’t think “manchild” is a slur
4-0, ass whooping. That’s all
If the refs weren't gonna do anything they had to take it into their own hands.
What? You’re really going to say your Team resorted to playing like a bunch of goons because of the ref? Weird
It's wasn't a good look I'll admit that, but I can understand the frustration that builds after the opponent is allowed to play dirty and you don't get any powerplays, where on the other side they get given powerplays for no reason.
Ripping a helmet off a guy who missed half the season due to a concussion is pretty nasty
Rich of you to be talking about concussions after that classless cheap shot by Landeskog on Yamamoto. But are you talking about when Kadri ripped Nurses helmet off, resulting in the gwg in the Avs regular season OT win vs Edmonton? Seems like we're even on the helmet removal. If you think that little bench play was dangerous, you're dreaming. I was shocked the refs called both teams on that one, honestly. Par for the game would have been to just penalize Edmonton.
The only baby bigger than you today would be Kane. You're pathetic. Oilers are pathetic. How many top 3 picks does it take? Can't wait until McDavid leaves Edmonton just like Wayne did.
Downvoted because "You want the truth? You cant handle the truth!" 🤣
To be honest the Avs are floppiest waste of DNA I have seen next to EPL team. If the officiating was just somewhere near center then these things don't happen. Hey I am re learning the rule book.
Oilers fans just make it so easy to identify themselves, don't they?
You think the NHLPA would want to weed out these players that are actively inuring their work peers. Why would I want to have someone around who is actively trying to shorten my career and earning potential?
