Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane was on the receiving end of a creative taunt.

EDMONTON -- This playoff series is all kinds of entertaining.

If there wasn't any animosity between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks before this series - there most certainly is now. It's been a high paced and high intensity series so far.

Evander Kane and Nikita Zadorov have been going toe-to-toe all series. They have been looking for the big hits against each other. Of course this came to a head in Game three - when Zadorov levelled Kane into the Oilers bench.

Although this is the biggest hit between the two tough guys - it definitely isn't the only one. Game five featured a few decent hits between the two. It also featured some...unique moments.

The most entertaining of those being this moment below:

Zadorov makes a crying face to Kane - while my lip reading skills tell me that he's saying "whaaaa." This is certainly a verbal jab that has not been used so far this series - or at least hasn't been caught on camera yet.

Nothing appears to be off limits - either in this series or for these two players.
