Series Discussion Thread - Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks

[creasecollector]

Is it just me, or are these Game 1/Game 2 National Anthems @ Rogers Place the loudest anthems you've ever heard? I don't know what it is, but man can that crowd just bring it!

Any non-Oiler/Sharks fans watching this series? Maybe it was my Teal-colored glasses, but it sure seemed like Zac Kassian left his feet every time he hit someone last night. It's easy to lay big hits when you jump into them every time.

those were clean hits! the oilers just dominated them all game long!

Well I am a sharks fan so I guess call me biased but it's pretty clear on the couture hit that he threw himself at him while leaving his feet which is textbook charging at the minimum. Can understand no suspension but definitely a 2 minute penalty at the least (not that it would have mattered last night)

Can't say anything for the dillon hit as I haven't seen it but from what I heard it wasn't pretty either. I feel like Michael Haley should check in here and stand up for our guys because it seems like no one else will

Huge Game 4 tonight! Can the Oilers take a 3-1 lead back home?

I don't fall under "non-Oilers/Sharks fan" but it's not your glasses. Yes, Kassian leaves his feet on a regular basis, and yes it should be a penalty.

I'm enjoying the games, but there is so much stuff I see both teams doing that I think "how was that not called?".

bearded guys look old & slow as of late. Oilers are going to be too much for them, and the series is done in 5 games!

Yup... some wise old man called Oilers in 5 :)

[Carkeys]

the hits were made before he left his feet therfore clean hits!

Oilers got crushed tonight. Though I expect them to come out fired up next game !

[30ranfordfan]

They had better.... though the thing that scares me is what that game does for the confidence of the Sharks. I had JUST been saying to a buddy that I think a good ol' fashioned blowout is what the Caps need to get their mojo back vs the Leafs.

Considering Talbot had posted back-to-back shutouts, I'd like to think this can be a one off, and the Oilers will go out and win game 5.
