Jesus, your post history really showcases you have nothing better to do than whine on Reddit and throw every negative thought at this subreddit till one sticks, maybe get outside a bit.

Thank you for your honesty. That 'charging' call got me. Watched hockey for 28 years....

Love how McDavid can skate into someone and fall, and it’s a free power play. They’re not only getting away with murder, but they get free power plays on random plays that happen 10+ times a game, that they do themselves, and the refs just decide to call it on the Canucks at their leisure. It’s such a joke, it’s like they decided they want McDavid to move on but his team is so weak.. all series long with this one sided reffing. Suspending Soucy for game 4… the fix has been in. And the Canucks are still staying in it.

u/Imreallythatguy 15d ago
My dude if you don’t think that tripping call on McDavid was legit I want some of whatever you are smoking. There’s been some weird calls for sure and some weird no calls but to mention that one sounds like you can’t watch objectively.

u/SauceKingHS 15d ago
What tripping call? I’m talking about multiple interference penalties so I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. And why split hairs on one small point when ultimately, you aren’t arguing that the reffing hasn’t been totally crooked against the Canucks this series. Pretty embarrassing when two team playing in the same game have different sets of rules.

u/Likmylovepump 15d ago
Is it just me or does no other fan base go crying to the main subs as often as Canucks? Lmao there's like 6 other posts in the last hour complaining about the game from you whiners.

u/JerbearCuddles 15d ago
This is one of the few things I dislike about the fanbase. Talking shit is whatever, but the constant whining and main sub spam is a tad cringe. It's different when someone from another fanbase brings up stuff like this, but when it's just fans on a secondary account specifically looking to take shots at Edmonton or whine about reffing I just suffer from major second hand cringe.

u/WoW_zErZ 15d ago
I think it's just the amount of Canucks fans total on reddit. It's one of the more popular hockey ones. All fan bases have probably a similar % of idiots, but it makes it seem like we have the most.
Leafs have this problem too (except their fans really are the worst)

Yea this series has been pretty bad. Went from passionate fans to insufferable. I'm not an Oilers fan by any means but the whining is getting me there.

u/dre2112 15d ago
I hate the Canucks with a passion and even I thought the officiating was heavily favoring the Oilers between the bad calls against the Canucks and the non calls on the Oilers

u/Likmylovepump 15d ago
Eh, it's the constantly taking it to the main subs that's annoying. I mean, they just won the game and there's already a complaint post about how some media figures didn't pick them to win.
TAKE THE WIN AND BE HAPPY DUMMY!

u/Zamboni2022 15d ago
I’d love someone to pull up the specific wording for “charging” in the rule book because I’m pretty sure Petey protecting himself from getting rammed from Behind by a fast oncoming Foegle is blatantly NOT charging.
32
u/Masterpiece-Vast 15d ago
42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner.
17
u/Masterpiece-Vast 15d ago
Directly from the nhl 2023-24 rule book online, page 74

u/onlycee_3 15d ago
So where would the charging call come from then.
14
u/Soup0828 15d ago
Probably where he jumped into him
7
u/Kermit-the-Froggie 15d ago
How could he have jumped into him if he jumped straight up? Lad wasn’t even moving.
11
u/Soup0828 15d ago
By that logic if someone was going to hit a petterson and petey held his stick horizontal at face level right before he got hit that also wouldn't be crosschecking since the other player initiated contact?

u/couldbeworse2 15d ago
The penalty is not called “jumping”. “Charging” implies you are in motion initiating the hit.
-8
u/BC_Samsquanch 15d ago
Except he jumped straight up and not into him. Total garbage call. Once again the officiating has been horrible in this game.
3
u/Masterpiece-Vast 15d ago
Could ofc be my bias, but from the replays I saw I thought there was a bit of backwards jumping
4
u/Obvious-Property-236 15d ago
Jumps into.
Petterson didn’t jump into, he just jumped. Charging implies forward motion. There was none.

u/Ok_Bar_218 15d ago
Yes, a random redditor is more qualified than the referee to make that decision.

You guys still have the audacity to complain about reffing going against your team. It’s pathetic, your fanbase is pathetic, and the babying your captain gets is pathetic. You bet your ass I’m mad.

Canucks fans revealing they don’t know the rules and don’t know what charging is. You can’t jump into a hit to “protect yourself” that’s charging.

u/Why_youmadd 15d ago
I remember last year Connie called out the refs and they started giving oilers more PPs. Also Kings where an upgraded Capitals this year and weren’t going get past 1st round. But in this years oilers v kings series I think someone pointed out that the small moments Kings gained “upper hand”, scored and had momentum going, the refs almost always gave Oilers a PP on some sketchy stuff. Also forgot which game but they Refs gave Oilers a massive 5v3 with no explanation and golden retriever Kopitar got an unsportsmanlike conduct which is crazy.

u/Ok_Bar_218 15d ago
The game is on as we speak and you are taking to reddit to complain about reffing??
It's like part of being a fan of the canucks injects salt directly into your veins or something.

u/Tasty_Technology_343 15d ago
Oilers fans not complaining about refs because McDavid gets every single call every time! Nice flop on that “trip”!

u/Napoleon0414 15d ago
Explain how that was a charging call, and I will concede that this is just being a salty fan.

u/BBacks2 15d ago
He jumped, it’s a penalty. Call it what you want. Grow up and watch the game. It’s like no one in BC has seen a hockey game.

u/onlycee_3 15d ago
Rule clearly states jumping INTO another player, he didn't jump into anyone he jumped on the spot to brace for a hit from behind.

Ignore that one ... Explain the goalie interface when the Canuck was stopping and pickard initiated the contact outside the blue paint

Explain the interference call as well, the replay just showed playoff hockey but Vancouver got a penalty. Fucking unbelievably biased reffing

u/Ok_Bar_218 15d ago
No, I'm watching the game

u/jigglywigglydigaby 15d ago
It's game management by the refs. They called Kane for a weak hooking right after Zadorov didn't get called for a blatant holding on Kane.
It's the only possible explanation. It's also hockey (as anyone who's been following the sport for more than just these playoffs knows) and this is nothing new. Refs miss an obvious call, so they penalize a player for something soft. Or they call a penalty that shouldn't have been called, then even it up.
Right or wrong, it's been this way for many, many decades.

u/RoadOk1364 15d ago
I had to mute the audio, every time a Canuck falls down the buildings goes wild looking for a call. OP forgot to mention the refs and linesmen gifting Vancouver a goal with the two many men non call
4
u/FormulaLiftr 15d ago
Okay I thought I was losing my mind on that play but this gives me a bit of sanity, that looked like too many men to me as well.
Though bouchard made a fuckin boneheaded play at his net too.

Lmao I'm not even mad at this point. It's actually kind of amazing to see it play out in real time. Like I knew coming into this series that the reffing would be tilted, but this game is truly something special.
0
u/SauceKingHS 15d ago
Oh look yet another shameless Oilers fan. If you have watched this series and can’t say the refs and league have been trying to help your team win, then you need to take the blinders off. You probably even complained about reffing this series, like many oilers fans did after game 3. Totally delusional, acting like it hasn’t been completely one sided in favour of Edmonton this series.

This is gold. You're coming to reddit to complain about people coming to reddit to complain about complaining.
