Sorry, nothing in cart.
The Flames and Oilers’ second-round playoff series has been an absolute barnstormer. A great rivalry in the “Battle of Alberta.” Lots of goals. High stakes. What more could you ask for?
On Sunday evening, with the series shifting to Edmonton (-105), both of these squads were probably on edge. Again: They’re already rivals, and now there’s a spot in the Western Conference Finals on the line? All opposition get out of the way because all bets are indeed off.
With the Oilers holding a commanding 4-0 lead midway through the third period, frustration started to set in for Calgary. And a usual suspect — one Milan Lucic — happened to be at the forefront of a roughing penalty that would turn into an all-out brawl:
What chaos!
Aside from Lucic (who was given a five-minute major): How does an official even begin to sort that mess out and designate appropriate penalties? It’s actually pretty simple, as it turns out:
“Everybody else in the penalty box!”
Shoutout to this official for the funniest delivery of a penalty we’ve ever heard and for adding more fuel to the fire of a playoff series only getting more heated.
