You coiler fans should close your traps I’ve never seen a team get away with more BS !! Kane sits on a guys head elbows and punches him it’s ok , 4 cross checks in a row fine !! Hit a guy without the puck no interference, all good , trip a guy while on the PP no worries but when the other team looks at mcwussy it’s a call you fans are horrible and whine too much

I know the names are similar, but I promise this isn't me

I am an Oilers fan but very much like to be as unbiased as possible.

Is Nurse guilty of instigating, sure... but its obviously in response to what I believe is a deliberate intent to injure. Piet lost control. All control. Easily could have broke something on Draisaitl (Hand/face/finger etc). Its one of the most blatant "attacks" in NHL history.

If Nurse gets a game, and i don't think many will bemoan that too much despite from my understanding similar situations being overturned, Piet should get 2-3.

And Nurse officially got a game...

Is that bad or good?

Ahh! There she is. I knew you’d be back once the Oil tied up the series. Welcome back Mrs McDavid.
I agree Nurse shouldn’t be suspended, but rules say he’s going to be. Pietrangelo will get a game as well, you need to take the homer glasses off, there’s been far worse not called in this series. Stick to the soaps with your girlfriends and let the men watch the game.

You called that one

Anything less than 2 games is disgraceful. Nurse suspension is a joke. But that is the NHL rule book. Absolute garbage 🗑️

Agreed

My thoughts exactly. Vegas will miss AP more than the Oil will miss Nurse and his brain farts.

The Makar suspension should set the bar, McCann was injured on the play.

No.,. Nurse wanted to fight Hague in the previous game near the end... i dont think it had anything to do with the intent to injure. Nurse was pissed because he couldnt goad Hague into a fight when Vegas beat the Oilers the game before. Hague was in the boards with Foegele, who threw a flying elbow at Hague and then Nurse came over.


Piet should get 1 or 2 games.

How long did he get?

1 game

I love hockey and started playing at 6. It's the only sport I really care about. That said, what Pietrangelo did is why hockey will never be a mainstream sport in the USA. Crazy, uncalled for, undisciplined, etc. He should be suspended for the remainder of the series, at minimum.

Imagine if an MLB player took his bat and hit someone with it. He'd be gone for the season, maybe longer. The NHL really needs to get the bullsh!t out of the game.

Wow. So much wrong with this post. So little time but here goes.
Hockey is very expensive and not easily accessible, given the fact how big football and basketball are in the U.S. is a big reason why hockey isn't main stream.

Comparing swinging a bat and a hockey stick is about the same as comparing using a knife to a gun. Not to mention the fact of how a stick is used in hockey as part of the game compared to a bat in baseball. Are all the players on the field wielding bats at the same time? A bat is at least twice as heavy as a stick too.

(frank) OFF BRENNAN. Don't you have some nonsensical articles to write on Jaysnation and now for some inexplicable reason Oilersnation???

Thanks Richard. I asked you last thread who Mrs. McDavid was. Don't pretend like you didn't have time to respond. I mean you are a flames fan so apparently you guys have nothing but time to post in the Oilers thread.

Bugger yourself, Jabroni.

Just solidifies your Hockey knowledge lil' champ. A slash like that could have put Drai out for the series or longer that was the intent. Deserves a suspension for sure.

If he intended to injure……he’d be injured. Plain and simple. He was choked and unhappy and gave him a slap on the forearm with his stick, probably not even bruised. How about Tkachuk punching Marner in the face 3 times after the final whistle. Now that should be a suspension.

Chucky was probably trying to get Marners hair out of his face.

Typical leafs fan to compare an overhead chop with the stick to Marner getting a couple of jabs from Tkachuk, who is likely just trying to toughen that lil wussy up in case somebody try's to carjack him again.

1 game for AP

I guess since there are very few Oilers fans left on this site that actually read and post in Sean's blog's it's good that you can find the time in your busy day as a flames fan to post here.

Source? Absolute crap is they give him 1 game which is basically just evening up the Nurse suspension. Although Darnell sitting for a game can't hurt the Oil too bad. Suppose the league has to follow through, instigator on Nurse was a bad call by the refs so not the leagues fault. They can't exactly come out and say there officials are doing a bad job.

Meh. Guess he has no prior history so that is fair. His absence hurts Vegas more than Nurse being out so we will take it.
