Hmmmm, it looks like McDavid was trying to avoid a hit after dumping in the puck and Ekblad was running interference. McDavid was chasing his own dump in.

As per the rules ... Ekblad would be penalized for Interference once the puck is dumped in, but since McDavid moved into him, its nothing and play on.

That almost looked like Connor was trying to jump thru between them . Oh well , down he goes !

Maybe Ekbald shouldn't try to interfere with McDavid chasing the puck, and he wouldn't get run over. Either both get the box or neither, good no call.

It looks to me more like Ekblad is trying to rub out McDavid after he dumps the puck, but gets caught off guard as he cuts to the middle and pushes him out of the way. Doesn't seem like this should be a penalty to me. If Ekblad had rubbed out McDavid on the play would it have been interference ... probably not either.

He drove up when he hit him but one foot was still on the ice, elbow was down. Reverse hit. And Panthers stop crosschecking and embellishing dives and just played hockey. Perhaps Panthers should focus on winning, not making the Oilers lose.

Dumps the puck in and goes left to avoid a check. Unfortunately there was another Panther player in the way and he took the hit.

About time he stood up for himself

Move bit get out the way. 😅

Ekblad grabbing Connor by the nuts at the end was the worst part of this. Ekblad choking out Bouchard until he has to tap out. I think he’s looking for a career change to another sport.

lots of cry baby's out there . go oilers go

What’s there to see.

this would look different if this was a game in the 1970's or maybe even early 80's... this is just something that can be seen at public skate on Saturday night

Hyman did the same move and got called for interference 🤔

Honestly, I don't like McDavid for the fact he gets Gretzky suspensions, but they were literally interfering with him intentionally knowing he'd either have to take a hit or run into the pick like thing. Interference on ekblad in my opinion. Picks aren't legal in hockey are they?

I guess it could technically be a charge, but my first thought watching it live, and on this replay, was that it's interference by Ekblad. I'm a bit too excited to dive into the rulebook right now, so I could be completely wrong.

As per rules McDavid would get a charging penalty

my say is that its june & hockey in june is stupid, go outside

McDavid left his feet. Pederson of Vancouver was called for a penalty in Edmonton series when he was being hit he left his feet. Same type of play. Mc David is the annoited one by the NHL. McDavid also slashed a Vancover player and High sticked another causing blood and was never penalized for anything.

Both of the Oilers “star” players tend to jump when hitting. Aka, they know how to play hockey, but have no idea how to be physical

Clear jump and targeting the head. Two game suspension, but of course, it is a star player so...

Damn, There are a bunch of crybaby oiler fans here. 😂

Arms up, jumps and "accidentally" falling on Ekblad while putting left hand on his face... I know it's the umpteenth time saying this in this series particularly but put Bennett in McDavids shoes and McDavid in Ekblads shoes and everyone would be calling for suspension on Bennett.

Normally I’d say no call on this, it’s SCF both players putting it on the line, no real advantage gained. However, we pulled out the microscope for an offsides review in game 6. That in mind you have to read the rules by every letter, so in this case definitely a charge on McDavid for leaving his feet prior to contact.

Another elbow to the head from another star oiler. No call. No surprise. 🤷‍♂️
