The play then went under review and apparently, enough evidence was found to overturn the goal. I think this is a farcical call personally, especially whe you consider that puck is going in whether he touches it or not. The Edmonton Oilers are moving on to the Western Conference Final but they aren’t doing so without some controversy.

Zach Hyman had a goal and two assists and Darnell Nurse, Jesse Puljujarvi and Evan Bouchard each also scored for the Oilers. Mike Smith made 32 saves, helping ...

Colorado leads that series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Friday in St. Louis. The Oilers will face either the Colorado Avalanche or St. Louis Blues in their first conference final appearance since 2006. Edmonton captain Connor McDavid scored at 5:03 of overtime, bringing the Oilers to victory over the Calgary Flames 5-4 on Thursday night in Game 5 of the second-round playoff series, and advancing them to the Western Conference finals.

The Edmonton Oilers have advanced to the Western Conference Finals after beating the Calgary Flames 5-4 in overtime and winning the series 4 games to 1.

It is such a pleasure to watch these players on a night to night basis. This duo is something to watch on a night to night basis in the regular season, but when it come to the Stanley Cup Playoffs these two players took control of almost every game they played. Up to that point, McDavid was have a rather pedestrian night, but when the moments get big your big players need to be bigger. With the game in overtime the team traded a couple of good opportunities back and forth. After going down 2 early in the second period the Edmonton Oilers scored 3 goals in a row to take a lead. In the third period the Flames looked like they took the lead, but it was determined that Blake Coleman kicked the puck in with his foot.

CALGARY — The Calgary Flames didn't go quietly, but they still went with the controversial disallowing of a potential game-winning goal hanging over their ...

"That was the goal, to make the playoffs. Calgary hasn't made it past the second round in 18 years. "Quite honest, the series was about Games 2, Games 4 and Games 5, which is tonight, they were all tied in the third period halfway through," Sutter said. "If somebody's on the ground and you lift your foot up, kick him in the head, that's a distinct kicking motion. They made plays in key moments of games and we didn't. Made the playoffs. Even Game 1, we were up 6-2, we should kill the first game right there. He's one of our captains, one of our leaders. "Games 2 and 3 got away from us. Thursday's Game 5 was tied 4-4 heading into the third period. I just didn't feel like I did." I'll go watch it again and maybe it's glaringly obvious.

Calgary was able to squeak by the offense-challenged Dallas Stars in the first round, but against the leviathan Connor McDavid and the high-octane Oilers, they ...

It’s also safe to say the Vancouver Canucks will be a more consistently better team than they were this season. But it’s safe to assume Edmonton will be better than they were this year. He also doesn’t want to get into a nasty contract negotiation with Tkachuk. But something has to change. In addition, only four of their defensemen are signed through next year. And their offense could not bail them out as they did in Game 1. And it wasn’t as if defense was the problem for Calgary during the regular season.

The Calgary Flames built their reputation on Darryl Sutter Hockey – that heavy-forechecking, quality-defending style that smothers opponents and wins back ...

He ended up posting just an .852 save percentage in the series, and the crease was supposed to be where the Flames had a clear advantage. That’s what’s been happening for the Oilers, and no matter who their next opponent is, that game plan has every chance of being effective in yet another round. In Game 5, the Oilers had 18 slot shots to the Flames' nine. There was a desperation there that we hadn’t seen from the Flames, and by Game 5 I kept thinking, “Just catch the pass and shoot it” rather than trying to rush a one-timer on a hot pass or on one that was in a bad spot. In the summer, I use a plastic oar to stir my kids’ kiddie pool and get the water going in a “whirlpool,” and that’s what happens when Hyman is on the ice. The Edmonton Oilers can be given no greater compliment than the way the Flames were reduced to playing in the Battle of Alberta, chasing more and more offence to try to keep up with an Oilers top-six that simply could not be stopped. The roller coaster Mike Smith Experience includes the type of highs you need to get by great opponents, and Woodcroft gave their team the chance to see that through. But I just couldn’t. How could I? Everything about the Oilers hinged on this, with two players combining for **checks stats** – no, that can’t be right – **checks again** 29 points in five games. This is speculation on my part, but I don’t think the Oil loved how Kane defended a Flames set breakout early in the game, followed by his positioning on the Andrew Mangiapane goal. The Flames played with offensive impatience, which left room for the Oilers to fly back the other way. On the backs of that plan, the Flames allowed the third-fewest goals during the regular season. The Calgary Flames built their reputation on Darryl Sutter Hockey – that heavy-forechecking, quality-defending style that smothers opponents and wins back pucks, which makes the burden of creating offence a struggle for their opposition.

That won’t be good enough for Flames fans, and understandably so. If the video replay was inconclusive, the call on the ice should have stood. Or at least not an answer that convinces Flames or Oilers fans that the other side is correct. Article content Article content Article content

"It goes without saying we try to keep the passion out. To make a call like this, when the game is on the line? We saw him pushing the puck into the net." "It's a thankless job and we realize the significance of the play and the time of the game and we knew it was a monumental play," said Murphy. I throw my hands up and leave it to Toronto.” It doesn't mean we would have won the series, but it could have extended it.
