In fact, Ethan thinks this is pretty much a big-time L, as he told me.

Yeah, let's put the press release on the screen for Avery, and I'll read it out loud for audio. The Oilers organization is disappointed, and we share in our fans' frustration over the three-game suspension of our captain, Connor McDavid. We support him through this process and the organization, and our fans look forward to having him back in the lineup versus Seattle next week.

That's embarrassing. It's a little bit. That's embarrassing. Avery, you cover the Edmonton Oilers. I don't think you're going to have any bias in this situation. That was clearly a suspendable offense, even though he's most definitely not a 30 player. He was defending himself, but, you know, you got to do a better job than that. And the Edmonton Oilers press release.

What do you think about what happened in that situation?

Yeah, that just seemed like, as far as Conor McDavid is concerned, that seems like some Sidney Crosby shit, though.

Dave, I don't think they're going to call penalties that late in the game.

Dude, quite frankly, and we've seen this, I don't think they're calling a penalty the entire period in the playoffs, let alone in that last-minute situation.

Avery, I think you're right. The officiating, at least this season, has been pretty lackluster. And in that situation, it was pretty lackluster as well. Obviously, you've got to give game misconduct to both McDavid and Tyler Myers, but I think you're pretty much calling for Russ McCauley's firing at this point.

Avery, you covered the Oilers and we've all seen the disappointing start, but they have now scratched and clawed their way to a point out of the Pacific Division lead. Was there a switch that got flipped? What happened there?

Before we close this out really quickly, and I might even add another Ola to the situation for the Hart Trophy this year, McKinnon, McDavid, or Dreisaitl? Someone else.
