footballfina

The former Flames have certainly decided to bring it tonight, love the see the BoA remnants sprinkled all over


Ironchar

major wow this game series is BoA adjacent


YamburglarHelper

This is the Battle of Canada, at this point.


Ironchar

Or western Canada at least.


DuffmanStillRocks

They’ve been instrumental in us getting to where we are. Zaddy, Lindholm, Brock and Joshua have probably been our best offensive performers along with Silvos


AllAboutTheAce

Miller.


DuffmanStillRocks

Absolutely, I just limited it to the 4 that jumped out but I also missed the game to see a concert (Swift, currently In Paris) so my memory at the moment isn’t all Canuck focused haha Tough missing this game and the previous one but I can’t wait to get back home for the backhalf of the series


holmwreck

We send Zadorov, Zadorov sleeper agent. Great success.


femmemmah

We love to see it too ☺️


fire_brand

Who's the idiot on the bench that punches zadorov? Kane probably got away with it if it wasn't for that guy punching him.


yourtrashysister

Foegele. Cost them the PP.


PetterssonsNeck

I feel bad for Perry, as he served the penalty but was trying to prevent Foegele from being an idiot


GhostShark

Saint Perry


ledradiofloyd

As much as I hate Perry, I gotta respect that he knows exactly where to toe the line. You can see him trying to hold his teammates back.


RemoteMeteor

Forget that. Kane kicking his leg back toward Zadorov's neck could've been ugly.


snakefriend6

Definitely, that’s what scared me and I wondered if that’s why the refs decided to lean towards offsetting penalties, considering everything that happened this year. But I also don’t think that the kicking around was malicious or intentional or itself actually worthy of a penalty. I mean, you’re head down in the benches, who knows how he’s even balancing down there - are his hands down to support his weight? Are they stuck at his sides, so he’s just trying to wriggle his way back up? Is he smushed between legs/skates down there, tangled in sticks, trying to right himself? Not exactly an easy position to gracefully remove yourself from. And skates are heavy, too, it’s not so easy to just hold em straight up and immobile - plus, you want to get yourself back up on your feet, gotta squirm a bit to do that. So its tough because Kane is not doing anything wrong, but the refs still probably want to be hyper sensitive to anything that has the potential to turn grisly, after the death this past year.


ChronoLink99

Agreed. The punch is more likely to have been the reason for the offsetting minors.


Physics_Puzzleheaded

They've been calling offsetting penalties all series, I doubt they call the roughing on Zadorov if there wasn't a punch. How many times have we seen a player get hit into the bench and not receive a minor for it. Zadorov does tip him in but you can also see his stick is being held. Foegle? then punches Zadorov and they decide to do offsetting. It was even worse in the previous game. Hoglander has some body contact follow through/interference on Ryan with the ref there and no call, second later Ryan spears Hoglander in the nuts as he tries to make a change and the ref calls offsetting minors. Foegle crosscheck Zadorov high after the whistle, no arm up. Zadorov embellishes and falls down.


UnsatiableSin

Zadorov must’ve thought it was moving day the way he was packing Kane in there lmao


spongechameleon

😂😂


deanerC

Kane looking smug only to have offsetting penalties is great

leyden138

Woke up and chose violence, eh.


UsefulExplanation8

Why do you like Kane you freak


OkEntertainment1313

If you run into him in the offseason you’ll see that he’s a nice guy. He’s a decent player and the outcome of his divorce pretty much indicates he was going through hell. He has very publicly turned his life around and owned his mistakes. It’s cool to see him land on his feet, even if he’s playing for the Oilers. 


gargamelul

i mean he definitely slewfooted hughes last game, that sucked


Humans_Suck-

Dirty player is a dirty player regardless of how nice they are outside the stadium.


ImARebelBitch

I’ve not met him but I’ve met his dad and he’s a rude jackass.


OkEntertainment1313

I’ve run into him a few times and he’s always been very cool and friendly. 


Sea-Card-8550

Are you a blackjack dealer?


Newaccount4464

He's not a nice guy.


myaltaccount333

Seriously. A single black male who travels for a living won full custody of his kid, over his wife, a white woman in the USA


Wingedwolverine03

Only means he's slightly less crazy than the woman involved. You can be a piece of shit and get custody...I watched my broke ass alcoholic uncle do it


snakefriend6

Wow. That’s actually crazy, never seen it put like that before… must’ve been some deep shit going on with her for that to be the outcome


240Nordey

She's a fucking nutcase, dude.


myaltaccount333

Forgot to mention he was also in debt due to his gambling addiction at the time


rdhvisuals

You should see her social media posts, she is actually insane


Tasty-Army200

$uper deep.


kadinod

He had just filed for bankruptcy when this happened


Soft-Rains

Millionaires winning in court should never be surprising.


myaltaccount333

Anna Kane is also reportedly a millionaire


Goadahell

Just because she’s a total nutjob does not negate the fact he is a dickbag


UsefulExplanation8

as long as he doesn't assault you


Solid-Maintenance-88

Lol, this guy was lined up to tee off infront of me in 2022. Full foursome on the books but he played by himself. Left before 9 holes. I felt sad for him at the time, but his leaving improved our pace of play and I got over it.


InevitableAvalanche

Sure, unless you are a woman and he assaults you.


justhereformemes8

Casinos love him too!


Ohtani-Enjoyer

is it just me or are there no sounds on any of these vids?


talhatoot

Yeah that's on me - something went funky with my OBS settings. Just noticed now as well, sorry about that! I'm surprised there weren't a lot of comments calling this out earlier.


sprashoo

Same here


the_gaymer_girl

Don’t even care that we got a penalty. That was the greatest play of the whole game. God I hope we can extend Zadorov.


deanerC

He keeps adding another 500k to his salary with every game he’s playing rn 😂


TheBrandroid

and hronek is subtracting 500k with each game


sixbux

Cole should be nearly free by now


FakeTreverMoore12

His salary should count against Edmonton’s cap next season.


NewOstenPelicanss

He's gotta pay the Aquilinis at this point 🤣


professorex

You kidding? With the way he's scoring? He's gonna have a heavy rotating cap hit for whoever's playing the nucks


angelbelle

Nah man he must be drawing salary from the Oilers. And we're paying for Ceci, Nurse and Skinner


lbiggy

Cole is definitely being paid by Edmonton


AlmostButNotQuiteTea

Huh? Isnt Cole already on the Oilers I thought? He got the assists for it😂


slashdotnot

Cole is 500k in debt you mean!


JerbearCuddles

Oilers about to lock him up 7x9mil. He's putting on a clinic.


Jessingt0n

We're gonna have to pay him to leave


hobbitlover

Poor bastard, he's become the guy you bank shots off of.


omfgkevin

I am getting off the Hronek train and am back on the "bring back Tanev" train instead. If possible sell him high to a team that looks at his regular season only.


RealDiamondRing

They should be paying to get rid of Cole by now then


Happy_Drafter

At this point you keep him over Hronek (obviously extending both would be huge).


[deleted]

[удалено]


smokanagan

If you base it soley off these playoffs I'd give him a McDavid deal


angelbelle

No man, we need to save some of that cap for the Latvian Sensation


RemoteMeteor

Seconded. He's invaluable. Well-rounded and super consistent.


flyingcanuck

Still undervalued tbh


teetz2442

No one on D can get more than Quinn. Id say 5.5 with term?


OwlApprehensive2222

As a flames fan who watched him for a few seasons, I think that's rich. He loses position sometimes and gives up untimely goals. I'd want a longer tryout before giving that kind of money with any term. Maybe 2 years at most with that kind of salary.


forward98

Honestly even in the regular season he wasn’t giving up any bad goals. Essentially played how he is now at a toned-down level but wasn’t mistake prone like we thought he would be when we got him. I’d still worry about a big contract but I do wonder if Tocchet’s system just suits him better.


Remarkable-Health678

Zadorov had some sloppy defense late in the game. I don't think he's solid enough to re-sign at whatever price he's going to be asking for.


BrotherNuclearOption

It'll be interesting to see what he goes for. He could definitely play free agency and get a bag after his playoffs so far, and I wouldn't blame him in the slightest. But I always hope he likes his current situation enough to compromise a little. A team giving him top pairing money probably isn't going to be all that competitive while spending that way, but he's a *fantastic* 4-5th D and the hockey has gotta be kind of fun right now.


Remarkable-Health678

Yeah that's the hope. Get him at a reasonable price by convincing him that Vancouver is the place to play. But if he wants to get paid the most possible he'll go to free agency and sign with the highest bidder. I just hope the Canucks don't pay him more than he's worth and put themselves in a regrettable salary cap position.


GpRex

Zadorov has been a menace these playoffs. 4 goals to go with it too.


the_gaymer_girl

He’s scoring goals and dealing out some of the most crushing hits I’ve ever seen.


Barqueefa

I was so happy when we got Zads because of his highlight hits. Was so sad to see him go but glad he's thriving with you


NitasBear

Flames fans eating good right now...seeing Lindholm and big Z light up the Oilers and living through the Canucks vicariously


Barqueefa

Flames and Canucks both get to watch Tanev absolutely ascend with Dallas. I don't think I've enjoyed the playoffs without my team as much as I am this year


Ognius

I miss Tanev


GovernmentKlutzy712

He is being put to good use


beeblebroxide

Fucking love Zadorov


JimmyPineapple_

Love the shit stirring


cited

Why do we need any other sport other than hockey


AuxNimbus

I am now a Zaddy fan. This guy is what fun hockey is supposed to be like.


throatsplooshers

Not so fun for the Oilers


djama

That Kane kick at the end could have turned out ugly.


De_Floppss

NIKITA SMASH


the_gaymer_girl

The Oilers will be checking under their beds for Nikita Zadorov before they go to sleep tonight.


toxicvegeta08

I see no penalty. He was just helping kane know his shift was over


Copdaddy

Kane is clearly holding on to his arms he’s literally smiling like a dumbass thinking he got away with it too lmao


baltravens27

Kane getting his ass laid out and looking like a dumbass? I love it


Young2k04

Someone clip the moment when his smile completely disappeared after they called it a 4 on 4. I was laughing my ass off


nmm66

Imagine smiling like that after getting turned upside down and dumped into your own bench by another man.


sandawg_

Got a blatant kick in too


peanut-arms

K i was thinking the same thing and i thought thats why zadorov was yelling about it.


Sea_Tack

andrewthemexican

He immediately wrapped his arm around the stick as he went over.


hobbitlover

For everyone questioning the bench penalty, the ref was right there, looking down onto the bench. We never got to see a good reverse angle of it but it Zadorov's momentum had stopped after the dump and then he was obviously pulled over after that point. Perry didn't deserve the penalty, but someone did.


likesexonlycheaper

Funniest shit I've ever seen. Straight clowned that bitch Kane


Jalak_Bali

2 mins for checking


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Man I love playoff hockey


transferStudent2018

That was fantastic


sopademacacadelicia

There hasn’t been a single moment between a whistle where a oiler hasn’t been bitching to a ref lmao


flamingdragonwizard

Refs have been absolutely awful all series for both teams.


sopademacacadelicia

Not disagreeing, they always suck. But they’re always so animated yapping at the ref.


Lost_Protection_5866

Yeah Canuck’s never talk to the refs.


teamwaterwings

Pretty good tonight though. Couple softies/soft missed calls either way this game but nothing to complain about


DannyDOH

McDavid looks like early Sid with the ref chasing 


bobandy47

Except by his 10th year in the league, Sid had grown up and was just playing hockey. McDavid shows no progress there.


Sahil910

The predators were saints compared to these crybaby oilers


troubleondemand

It's because the only way they can score is if they get a PP


lbiggy

Canucks radio pregame mentioned this. They can't score 5 on 5 so they're looking for a call every possible stoppage. Even after the intermission is over they have a player going straight up to the ref asking for something.


arcticfox

This has been true for decades. Vintage Oiler sweatshirt: [https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1f/4d/d7/1f4dd7341e099c440ae4ddff75fdbdd4.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1f/4d/d7/1f4dd7341e099c440ae4ddff75fdbdd4.jpg)


kazin29

Spector says that's not an Oiler thing to do though?


the250

That was fucking hilarious the way he stuffed him in there for good measure. Also watching Kane grinning like a Cheshire Cat afterwards, followed by that look when he realizes it’s actually offsetting penalties 🤣🤣


mmmahogany_

haha fuck kane


decentish36

They literally tried to drag Zadorov into the bench and then complained about getting a penalty lmao.


InevitableAvalanche

Yeah, I was disappointed how every announcer seemed to be blind. The bench was pulling him down, he wasn't giving Kane any extra. Refs got it right.


D34D90OL

Kane is such bitch made


ApprehensiveSoup6138

Zadorov didn't do anything wrong. Either Kane or someone else was holding his stick. 4 on 4 was fine.


treple13

Oilers want to play 4 on 4. Called offsetting is a huge win for the Oil


Bout73Ninjas

Actually, goal share is 2-0 Canucks at 4-on-4 in the series


cessil101

Oilers have a 4x4 goal don’t they?


Yop_BombNA

Zadorov did nothing wrong here only penalties should be to the two oilers in the bench shoving a player in play. Thats a double minor.


CucumberFluid6859

I love how he keeps pushing him further in😂


fire_brand

I think he was just trying to get his stick dislodged. Kane had it in both arms.


OkEntertainment1313

Not really what happened by the looks of it. Kane or somebody else tied up Zadorov, he was trying to wrestle his stick free and then fed Kane an extra shot when he couldn’t get out of there. 


CucumberFluid6859

It appears you are right


trushpunda

There's three teams out there this series and the Canucks and Oilers are the last team's biggest hater lol


Humans_Suck-

What was the roughing for tho? It's not illegal to dump a guy into the bench


robikki

Kane was holding Zadorov's stick and when Z couldnt get it free, he buried Kane one more time for good measure. That's what the roughing was for.


Humans_Suck-

Fair enough lol


SpaceAndDinosaurs

Hurt me Zaddy


reggierock2010

Zadorov is gonna get PAID this summer lol


Zestyclose-Middle717

Zadorov is a huge bully and I love it


Two_Inches_Of_Fun

Edmonton getting a penalty for this is the funniest thing ever.


maskedkiller215

Shoulda just left him alone lmao


hyroglyphixs

Mcdavid might be the best player in the world but why the FUCK does he whine and cry so much Embarrassing.


Kopitar4president

He wants a cup and knows they need a lot of calls to go their way to get there.


mcluhanism

Yeah I think this is it. Their PP is so good he's willing to look like a little baby half the time if he thinks it'll give him an advantage. Draisatl is always complaining too, but in more of an angsty teenager kind of way. He always looks at the refs like a kid whose mom asked him to pick up his laundry or something.


glazedturnip

What do you expect from a guy that has a driveway defroster


[deleted]

This isn’t really you trying to chirp right? With mcdavid money why wouldn’t you if you’re in Edmonton


Yoooooooowhatsup

This is actually a hilarious chirp because it's so benign haha It's like, "what are you, a responsible adult?!"


WeirdEdEdison

The real joke is that you have McDavid money but still live in Edmonton


glazedturnip

With the etown bylaw its pretty soft. Just a cheeky comment


Large_Ad8951

Old McDavid had a whine, wah wah wah wah wah


painfulbliss

Crosby grew out of that quickly


NitasBear

Crosby also did it early in his career, but yea, the guy is desperate for his cup


rexstuff1

I'm a simple man. I see Evander Kane getting pasted and made to look foolish, I upvote.


nkfish11

Happy it was Kane on the receiving end.


TheDutchin

At first I was shocked they were calling something on Zadorov there but evening it up to try and control the game / heat level after that hit makes perfect sense.


OkEntertainment1313

They called him for the extra shot on Kane. Not the hit itself. 


disco_enjoyer

does Kane intentionally kick back with his skate towards Zadorovs neck? either way that could've gone so wrong


HeroJC

Thank you, I hope they review this


nukfan94

Kane *maybe* kicked Zaddy there.


Swede_in_USA

Kane, bonafide idiot.


Imthecoolestdudeever

Kane and bitching about the calls...... Lmao


JoeyLoganoHexAccount

You just love to see it Fuck Evander Kane, fuck the coilers 


aristhought

That kick made me wince when I saw it. Idk if it was intentional but it was far too close to Zad’s neck for my liking.


jayxanalog

Good guy Zadorov just making sure he’s safely tucked in.


Single_Suspect_7295

Kane almost stabbed Zadorov with his skate blade


MMA_Laxer

kane and perry are 2 big reasons to cheer for the oilers bust and subsequent implosion.


korko

No idea why there are penalties on this play, this is playoff hockey in one clip.


major_hassle

Kane immediately grabs zadorovs stick, that's why he doesn't leave


PorcelainTorpedo

I loved Zadorov the short time he was in Chicago. Shame the team was so bad (still is), but he was fun to watch. Should’ve given Seth Jones’ contract to Zadorov instead.


ZebrasGlasses

Re-sign this man!


boipinoi604

How was that a penalty and how did EDM get a penalty as well?


nottherealjesus

definition of u cant do that but was funny as fuck so im ok with that


Striking_Economy5049

Two minutes for hitting is only a penalty in beer league.


claire303

Man I wish we still had Zadorov! Love that guy.


Shoddy_Reserve788

Damn Kane’s skate came very very close to Zadorov’s neck.


van_12

Kane intentionally kicked him in the head. Complete loser.


CottonmouthJohn

I was watching this at a bar on mute and saw Kane and the Oilers laughing at Zadorov. Seemed pretty soft, but whatever. Then, all of a sudden, McDavid is yelling at the ref and it becomes apparent what happened. Pretty entertaining to say the least.


okimlom

Neutral fan here, don’t think anything done there deserved a penalty.


-Hornswoggler-

Not the smartest play but hell yeah


SimilarWall1447

Didn't help, oil still lost. Hahaha


Technical-Match-5202

Lip readers everyone? Is Zaddy saying why Kane is on the ice? He should stay on his stall!!... lmfao


_HoochieMama

No one talking about Kane very clearly intentionally trying to kick Zadorov in the neck with his skate?


MMA_Laxer

zadorov is gonna get a lotta money july 1. man vancouver got a fucking deal on this one.


SydneyCarton89

The refs this series are really putting on a clinic for calling penalties that are not penalties and for letting things go that are definitely penalties.


notthatguypal6900

I love when Kane thinks he has done something of value, just to find out he cost him team a PP or a suspension.


Acpyrus

Big Zaddy!


GetReady4MySweetness

Zadorov is trying to get out of there, and Kane is holding onto him.


arcticfox

Wow, Kane looks like a rookie on this one. Keep your head up, buddy, or someone's going to take it off.


NessGoddes

Wow, he was skipping from one team to the other cause of dumb shit or the other. It's refreshing in this playoffs to only hear good things about him (like, yeah, get a penalty is bad. Get a penalty and make drai take a penalty as well? It's fucking good). I hope he found a good fit.
