GDT: Around the League 2023-24: The Marathon Becomes A Sprint

[North Cole]

I think in regards to our PPs. The League can't help but give us that with how we are playing right now. If we fought back in scrums or played dirty looking for revenge, like we usually do, we probably see the same screw job we always see. Oilers have learned, don't give the refs nothing.

I think LA came into the series banking on being able to get free real estate. They look massively shook because rather than getting timely powerplays they end up in the box and then down another goal. They don't have any real answer for the Oilers beyond getting us into a PK frenzy or capitalizing on dumbassery in our zone/net.

Lol! That is a thing of beauty.

Waiting for Elliotte to make an accurate comment that Nashville deserves to be winning this game, as well as the last one. Rather than totally stupid comments like LA deserving game 2 against us.

His only purpose on the panel at this point is for Bieksa to troll him.

It’ll never happen. Elliotte alternates between jerking off to the Leafs, Flames and Canucks. None of those teams can do any wrong in his eyes. Even if one is doing terribly they’re always “close”

Rempire State Building is an amazing nickname

 

[BlackDogg]

Yes

Can be solved with a Vann diagram

I’ve watched only about 20 minutes total of the Preds-Canucks series. I see Van only has 9 shots through the first period and a half and had 12 total last game. Is Nashville shutting them down or is Vancouver suddenly inept with offense?

Did I catch them just praising the Canucks play in this game, and how they are underdogs. Hilarious. They needed a sub .900 goalie to absolutely steal game 3. Now leaving a no name goalie to have to steal another one. The goalies are the only good players.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Mwuhahaha 3-1

Asst. coach saying “We’re not going to challenge.”

 

[Sanchez]

3-1 Preds!! Sure looked like it was kicked in but oh well.

 

[oobga]

Hehe. Ngl that looked like a kick. Interesting choice to not get it reviewed.

Looks like the coach was saying "We can't challenge"

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Are the Canucks.....regressing?!?

Say it ain't so

 

[RandomGuy79]

Preds dominating.

Forget what the rules are for kicks. Not sure how the Canucks coaches would allow play to just go on without pressuring refs to look at it. Bar never seems that high for refs to look, and that seemed like actually a kick.

Preds dominating.

"The Canucks are underdogs now because of goalie injuries"

Only useful Canucks in game 3 and 4 end up being the goalies.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Im shocked that consistently getting outshot and outplayed isn’t a viable strategy.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I SO badly want to talk shit about the Canucks but we have a game tonight so I will refrain.

Go Preds

Go Preds

Is it that they are a bad team? No. Is it ok to have 12 shots in a game? No. 14 by halfway thru the third? Absolutely

 

[McRpro]

I'm surprised people think that goal had anything resembling a distinct kicking motion. Seemed 100% a legit goal to me.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Almost like people told them all season their unsustainable shooting % would dry up eventually

 

[Cloned]

Canucks really should be on the verge of getting swept right now. Preds should’ve won all 4 games.

 

[bellagiobob]

 

[CupofOil]

Canucks fans will use the Demko/DeSmith excuse yet they have 14 shots and 1 goal and have been doubled in shots so...yeah.. goaltending is not the problem. Their offense has been non-existent the entire series.

None of us have the power to decide if the Oilers show up or not. Can enjoy the hilarity the NHL provides when it comes IMO
