The coaches challenges were the right calls. If you look at the rule any contact with the goalie in the blue paint is goalie interference. Perry has made a career doing this.
I’d be more pissed with the coverage in front of the Oilers net, Rasmus Andersson’s goal highlighted the breakdowns. Then Mantha collects on a rebound with no one covering him. Same goes for Kirkland’s goal, speaking of Costco that hit on former teammate Draisaitl was great. Not to mention Pospisil splattering McDavid in the corner only to have him retaliate with a cross check. No call on the play, as usual, league and its 2 tier reffing system.
What was Skinner thinking when Backlund tapped him on the ankles? He should focus on making a save rather than his acting career.
Maybe having 2 Skinners on the Oil is confusing the D, there has to be a reason they look so bad.
Do you think McDavids tantrum in the dressing room has got too much traction? Drove a wedge between the team? Are players waiting for him to actually start playing well?
Flames 3-0, Oilers 0-3
Im sure Edmonton will turn it around, and although I’m enjoying the start, Flames need a top 5 pick to help their rebuild. |
