NHL Game 3 Highlights | Oilers vs. Kings – April 21, 2023

They're not scared of you Edmonton , if fact it looks like you're scared of them . All that young talent and you're getting beat by a bunch of escapees from the retirement home

ouch.

Several years ago, the NHL wanted to get more scoring. Stricter infractions were enforced, no more hooking, holding, etc, which seemingly improved scoring. Combined with faster skating players, faster shots, and several other things. From a spectator point of view, more skills showcased…bravo. With the enforcement of infractions much stricter, the league has created many more special teams situations. Statistically, there are teams in your league with 40% of their goals being scored via power play situations. While this has created more goals being generated, it is changing the face of the core of teams. Teams are now being built specifically around out numbered situations. It once seemed that the team with the best goalie won, now it's evolving to the team with the best power play wins. In a game that once had a league champion nicknamed ‘The Broadstreet Bullies”, obviously it has changed dramatically.

The stricter enforcement of infractions has also created a new dilemma: player uncertainty and inconsistent officiating. Because of these evolving rules, players seem uncertain what exactly is an enforceable infraction, which has the officials calling or not calling infractions determining the outcomes of games. Is this what the NHL and their board of governors is attempting to create or is it just the evolution of a sport that is increasingly getting faster and more skilled? WIth the current speed of the game, is it truly possible to skate backwards as fast as someone skating forward without having any other options at slowing them down without taking a penalty? With the older rules that were not as strict, an attacking player could expect to get hooked, held, slashed, or actually hammered with a bodycheck which, while play a bit slower, was likely a deterrent to just charging straight up the center of the ice and having the other team commit an infraction that could lead to a goal more than 30% of the time. With these rules constantly evolving, players seem uncertain which minor contact will result in a penalty, and with penalties being at the digression of the referees, it creates a playing environment where only the fastest players have the greatest effect on their teams. Penalties calls have way too much gray area allowing for way too much inconsistency from game to game. Since the introduction of replays being used for an off ice official to view under certain instances, maybe the league should consider an off ice team to review penalties or lack thereof to make the game more even for all teams. If a call is missed on ice, an off ice team could alert the arena officials, make there correct call, and reset times as is done when a goal is scored, called incorrectly by the on-ice officiating staff, and subsequently corrected. Instead of having groups of 2 officials in every game being relied upon to call the games consistently, have one person make/correct on ice calls. It is not as inviting of a sport when the officiating weighs a lot more in deciding the outcome of hockey games. Something needs to change…

Нерс… Господи когда тебя обменяют

Oilers depth disappearing which isn't a surprise. McDavid and Leon can only do so much. If the Oilers don't score 5-6 a game…. they struggle.
