I know there's zero chance the league does it, but Draisaitl deserves at least a game off for that elbow to Barkov's chin.  Oilers like to goon it up when things aren't going their way.

Tkachuk could just run his massive German head through the boards on his first shift and I’d think both teams would call it even.

I think this is one of those things that he will pay for next season.  No sense letting the Oilers get rolling on a PP just to get payback.  But he'll get it.

Nurse is dogshit. Worst player on the ice nearly every night. He should’ve been given a 5-minute major and been booted for that knee to knee hit on Bennett. Wow, terrible call.

In the good old days, this third period would get ugly with Dave Semenko, Don Jackson, Kevin McClelland and crew dropping the gloves with these Florida shysters. 

Unfortunately, in today's friendlier game, it will be a facewashing festival. Don't want anyone to get hurt.

Fuck him, that was 100% McDavid.  My wife could have scored that.  
And they give it right back.  Gonna guess Nurse was out there?  Yep, that was him diving into the goal.

He actually knocked it in with his glove

Some real team of destiny shit going on with the oil this season.  0-3 is a little crazy though. 
 

tckchuck showing some effort that a coach can latch onto and use in the room.  Goal cam shot of that was sick.

I don't watch a ton of hockey but saw that goal saving play.

Then saw #91 on the play, and if I was Tkachuk I would have fucking laid in to that dude after the game. Just idly skating around like he was at Rockefeller center in December.

I'm sure he thought "oh, that's in" but also a quintessential "play until the whistle/horn sounds" type of moment.

You can see he doesn't realize anything for another 3 seconds.

Also the clock stops at 21.4 for a moment when they thought it went in.

Was watching some NHL Network post-game last night and they were citing Skinner's stats this playoff late in all four series. His numbers from Game 4 on are ridiculous. As a team, the Oilers are 10-1 in Games 4-7 in these playoffs. Bob looks a little shaky and the Panthers should be worried.

Brady Tkachuk is a fucking gamer. He's talented no doubt but he doesn't have near the same god-given skill as guys like McDavid or Draisaitl. What an acquisition he was from Calgary a couple of years back.
