00:00Okay, we've had time to digest this whole Oilers-Ducks goal thing, but I do think that there
00:05are a couple of things that Oilers fans are missing. First, this whole, oh, the league is
00:10out to get us thing, uh, that made a post about it and someone shared a comment suggesting that
00:15the referees were paid off for this one. I, I don't know what to tell you on this one. If
00:22you think
00:22that the NHL, which has allowed you to win four draft lotteries, have another one go your
00:29way so that you stay third and get Leon Dreisaitl, and then watched as this team bloomed into
00:35one that went to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals, where you were able to eliminate teams from
00:40markets like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Dallas, and they saw all of that, watched you go to
00:47two Stanley Cup Finals, but decided now's the time to start rigging things against you guys?
00:53I, I don't know what to tell you. You're just, you're looking for something that ain't there.
00:57Secondly, this, oh, well, the referees, uh, no one was there to see it, and then they just called
01:03it a goal on the ice and made it impossible for it to be overturned. First of all, there was
01:07a dude
01:08who was kind of back there, and no, he probably didn't have the best view of it, but referees talk
01:12about these things all the time. We often get the whole referee huddle up thing, and then they come
01:17away, and a goal, and then they do the video review. Also, after the video review was done, he didn't
01:23say, I don't know, goal. Dude came out and said, upon further review, the puck crossed the goal line,
01:30therefore, we have a good goal. So, they could have absolutely waved the entire thing off, and then
01:35decided, ah, maybe we should take a look. It still was going to be called a goal, because it was
01:40a
01:40goal. Let's stop acting like the goal line was like the weird things you try to jump on in Mario,
01:46and it's moving back and forth. Just because there's a skate on it doesn't mean we don't know where
01:51it is. And yes, part of the puck is covered up. We know what pucks look like. It's not a
01:57bunch of
01:57avocados where you just put one out, and oh, I guess we're going with the big one today. They've
02:02been the same size for a while now. It was in. It sucks. I know. Look, Blue Jays fan, I
02:08made up so
02:09many different rules that I thought could have explained away Barger's ball getting stuck under
02:13the wall in the World Series. Sometimes it doesn't go your way. It sucks, man. Next time, don't blow a
02:20two-goal lead, and then another one to a fourth liner. I know fourth line scoring is a foreign
02:24concept up there. And also, if you're this good, maybe it shouldn't be this hard to beat the 18th
02:30best team in the NHL. Just saying.
