GDT: Game #48: Canucks @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[Vagabond]

Any word of klingberg is playing

Knobber said he'll be likely to play a game next week.

 

[K1984]

Watch it be Jon McIsaac and Francois St. Laurent. Or another know Oilers hater in Chris Schlenker.

It's gonna be something like that. Kozari, Rooney, etc. Kendrick Nicholson is another clown that makes a mess of any Oiler game he does.

It will almost certainly be some "veteran" that theoretically should know how to handle a game like this, but they actually don't and will just make a mess of it again. The vet officials like go into the game with an agenda and execute on it. I predict we'll see some ridiculous calls out of the gate to "cool things down" and you just know they aren't going to be favourable to us.

Too bad we don't have the kinds of players that can repay the Canucks in blood. I miss Evander Kane. We will not survive without functional toughness in the playoffs.

The only way we can get even with these rats is by blowing them to pieces on the score sheet.

 

[Mez]

Destroy this poverty franchise. If we're up 10-0, I hope Knob doubleshifts Drai and puts him out on the PP for a full 2 mins.

LOL you think they will get powerplays???

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

LOL you think they will get powerplays???

If last game is any indication I'm perfectly fine with not getting them.

 

[Mez]

I hope we're up by 1 and with less then 30 seconds left one of our players just holds onto Hughes stick until the refs call a penalty or the clock runs out.

I would love to see that. or have all 5 guys maul their man to make a point to the league.

This is where the game has to start.

We absolutely have to jump on them early. They are going to follow the same formula they always do - antics in an attempt to draw retaliation penalties and they will 100% get those calls. Make it irrelevant by being up 3 or 4-0 after 1.

 

[Mez]

Every damn year this is the difference between us and the other contenders.

 

[PuckG]

It’s interesting to hear the Canucks make this about Garland and retribution.

No one gives a flying **** about Garland.

 

[Oilers88]

Another night dealing with Canucks fans.

Yeah. If one person boos Garland in the building, I'll be disappointed. They are trying to embrace this bad guy persona so they have something to rally behind. Best thing to do to that is ignore them as if they are irrelevent.

Amen.

Drives me crazy when the fans go sideways at a specific individual "enemy" on the other team. Most of the time it's some rat that just ends up thriving on it.

Just beat their ass on the scoreboard.

Love this because it's a test of what may be to come in the playoffs.

Skinner has had a shitty week - let's see how Pickard does having to step in in a spotlight game rather than his usual starts against the bottom feeders. If he can come in, play well, and then have Skinner rebound then maybe new backup isn't as much of an emergency.

This is all predicated completely on Skinner's ability to rebound, however.

 

[bone]

Amen.

The only thing that should matter tonight is a win.

Worrying about retribution for a missed holding or interference call would be the dumbest thing ever.
It's dumb enough in the heat of the moment like McDavid on Saturday, but completely moronic and infantile to plan it.

 

[Stoneman89]

Start pikard more. Skinner is inconsistent trash. That is all.

Pickard has had his issues this year as well, and mostly against lower competition.

Agreed, but everyone cheer when he f***s up.

They both aren’t good goalies. Pickard in an AHL goalie that’s in the NHL because he has an elite team in front of him.

I'm good with that.

 

[dssource]

It would be such a shame if we accidentally cleared 3 or 4 pucks directly into the nucks bench or if Perry was pushed into Demko.

Seriously though, win the game. We need first and it will be nice to keep pushing these bums out of a playoff spot.

I'll watch this one tomorrow. I'd rather sleep well tonight.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Hyman is taking off the full shield, so he's more effective.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I'd like to see him be effective without McDavid. I hope he can be.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'd like to see him be effective without McDavid. I hope he can be.

Can't argue, but I suspect he'll see the puck better and such. I wonder what He, with Henrique and Perry can do tonight.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

I guess he's coming out of the bubble. Can't call him the bubble boy anymore

 

[ZJuice]

Hopefully he can see the Bouchbombs a bit clearer. He’s and podz have been getting nailed a lot lately

No kidding I felt so bad for him last game, drilled twice.

Heck... let's just hold ALL of their sticks and not touch the puck.
