Post-Game Talk: GAME #68: Canucks 2 @ Oilers 3

[ChilliBilly]

The answer was never having a lottery in the first place. Edmonton would have less first overall picks and no McDavid if we just did it NFL style with the reverse standings order.

Not sure but what if they said 3 lottery picks, first can move 5 spots, 2nd 3 spots and last 2 spots?

Even better would be to not have a draft.

That would be fascinating. None of the ELC bullshit either. Cap can either stay or go

I think the cap needs to stay if they go that route.

The original purpose of the draft was to facilitate parity. The cap does a better job of this and renders it obsolete. You want to blow 10% of your cap on the latest hot shot prospect? OK, but he might be Nail Yakupov...

Then you would go back to the old days where numerous teams would be obviously tanking, like Pittsburgh did for Lemieux...

 

[Elias GOATtersson]

9 - 8 McDavid and Pettersson are both -7

 

[ErrantShepherd]

First ever Canuck game. Let's goooo!

Man, I hope it's an exciting game for you! Seems like Oilers and Canucks games are usually livelier at least.

First two periods of the Yotes game I caught this season were a complete snoozefest.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

sorry, no giant feet this time

...time for something completely different?

Oh leg?! ...you're looking for a leg?!

 

[Scumbag Frank]

...time for something completely different?

Can't beat this Zombo classic:

 

[VanJack]

If that tandem of Pouliot and Biega are on the ice for another 20 minutes tonight, I just don't know. If they don't 'bend' from Draisaitl's work down low, they could 'break' when McDavid comes flying at them.

Whoever ends up between the pipes for the Canucks night, will need to be 'all world'.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Demko in..Lets hope he's not as shaky as he was in Arizona.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

We're in the time of year where finding out there's a Canucks game that evening is like finding out you have a long intensive homework project. Do I want to play video games or do I want to spend three hours watching Ian MacIntyre and the Canucks PP?

Video games during the intermission my dood

I can't be too mad at Edm. We're seeing ourselves that a couple young stars means nothing if you have dog shit management. I feel worse for McDavid and Pettersson.

4-3 Oilers our goals all by Biega

 

[Melvin]

Can we talk about the fact that this team has 4 injured wingers but Tim Schaller still doesn't draw into the lineup?

 

[Cogburn]

As always thanks to Zombo for the GDT.

Which Canucks team shows up tonight? The meticulous team focused on a playoff spot, or the tired, lazy, broke down Canucks that can't score to save their lives?

If they hang Demko out to dry like they did Markstrom against LVGK.....it could get ugly.

That’s what depth looks like.

 

[The Drop]

That’s what depth looks like.

I don’t even know if you’re serious anymore

 

[Balls Mahoney]

This should be fun... two underachieving non-playoff teams in March.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Good to see the lads are ready to play?

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Pouliot is awesome

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Not liking Demko's positioning so far. Also looks very nervous again. Hope he shakes it off.

 

[The Drop]

That was brutal from Pouliot
