ESPN stat: 22 points for McDavid in the postseason in 9 1/2 games.

Reminder Kane had that fake vaccine card stench, now he's riding high in Canada...

It's insane it's taken the Oilers this long to finally have a good team when you get to start with McDavid

I love McDavid, but I am conflicted with Kane being the beneficiary of this.
I really wonder how much of Kane’s issues on other teams were products of the nasty divorce that he was going through. Maybe that’s all behind him now, and he’ll be the player that he was supposed to be.

Just checked the box score - I follow hockey sporadically, and figured Kane would be out of the league for all his issues but here he is racking up a hat trick in the playoffs.

I don't even think that should have been a penalty on Lucic, but "Everyone else in the penalty box get two minutes for roughing" is hilarious

Given the score, Lucic has to be smarter there. Take a whack at the puck and keep skating by. Stopping on top of the goalie (or an inch before) is only going to end one way.

Looks to me like Lucic assumed Binnington was going to turn away from the net and move in the direction of the shot, so Lucic tried to peel off behind the net.

Binning then backed directly into Lucic.

I can see an argument either way, though. Lucic doesn't exactly deserve the benefit of the doubt (/Ryan Miller voice)

You mean Smith not Binn, but otherwise I agree with you.

No fan of Kadri but love seeing him get the hattie after the double cross check + attempted flying elbow. Both of those plays were more egregious than Kadri’s play on Binnington (which I thought was a good hockey play for a loose puck).

Perron's specifically was disgusting. The DoPS is purely reactive so nothing will happen, but this is ridiculous.

If DoPS were worth its salt, Perron would sit for Game 5 at minimum. What he did in the initial scrum got Rob Gronkowski a game in the NFL, and at least he didn’t follow it up by trying to elbow the guy in the head after he scored. Dumb luck kept Kadri from a likely concussion.

Also, the people hand waving what the Kadri family has gone through is a problem. I’m sure these same people went after Tom Wilson’s socials when he brained Sundqvist, right?

Not going to lie, Kadri is making me a bit of a fan with his handling of this situation.

Putting up a hatty, in their barn, to put them on the brink of elimination is cold blooded.

To then go on TV after the game and tell the fans they motivated him to that performance is awesome. I can’t imagine how that felt after everything his family has gone through over the last couple of days.

the extra cherry on top is he seemed to trigger Tim Peel with his post-game comments.
so yeah, point Kadri. Maybe even 2.

Berube and St. Louis can make even Kadri the sympathetic figure. What a fucking league.
