GDT: GM 1 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | 7:00PM PST | Sportsnet

[Regal]

What in gods name was Myers doing on that goal

I wonder how many times that’s been said over the years

 

[Orca Smash]

Hoglander Will be on the top line within 10 games if he keeps doing shit like this

It better not take 10 games especially if boeser misses 4 or 5 of them.

 

[bbud]

I really dont like Hughes defensive game. He doesnt win any puck battles

He had a mile of ice if he looks and throws a pass right on oiler stick needs to get his damn act together

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Dayummm McJeezus is good..........

He’s gonna get his 2 PP points tonight like usual.

 

[kcunac]

I think Pods is just fighting the puck. You can see he is thinking to make the right play, he needs to adjust to the speed and lose the nerves.

I'd like to see him simplify and try throwing some hits. That could help

 

[Svencouver]

like honestly I feel like its some sort of sad comedy that it took less than one period of the season for commentary to note travis green "mixing things up"

 

[canucksfan]

Travis Green started Chaisson on the top line over Hoglander.

That is unbelievable.

Chaisson shouldn't be in the lineup but since he is, he should be playing on the fourth line in sheltered minutes and then on the PP.

 

[PavelBure10]

f***ing joke hogs is in the bottom 6

Agreed, he has been the hardest working Canucks by ease thus far tonight. You send him in by himself, and he gets the puck. No way he should be in the bottom 6.

 

[Scorvat]

covering for hughes because he was chasing

Kind of an unlucky defensive breakdown with Miller losing his stick and thus being stuck in no man land. Myers was covering Drai

 

[krutovsdonut]

that was a great period. we need some finish.

hoglander is faster.

three line hockey.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Best player in the 1st:

Nils Hoglander

 

[EpochLink]

Chaisson on the top 6, never again.
Time to send him down the lines.

 

[VancouverJagger]

He’s gonna get his 2 PP points tonight like usual.

At Minimum.........

 

[docbenton]

yea that more on Miller than Myers… I’m not sure why some are blaming Myers for that

No it was on Pettersson, he was the center covering the front of the net and he abandoned his post. Pretty sure Myers was off to the side covering a player otherwise open for a one-timer.

 

[tantalum]

I know there are always issues with the stats but…scoring chances 14-8 for the Oilers from naturalstattrick.com. High danger 7-4 Oilers.

Heat map is as it has been the last several years, though the canucks actually got deep (mostly early and the Hogs late).

 

[Bougieman]

Garland did a butterfingers and dropped his stick all on his own, or he would have been able to stick check Poolparty who was then all by himself for the goal. Frustrating.

EDIT: Oh wait, I think that might have been miller? I thought the 9 on the jersey was an 8

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Lammikko is good

 

[SurferBroChad]

was a good start but they fell apart for a bit, i felt that goal coming.

hopefully they can finish one of these chances in the 2nd

 

[bbud]

I think Pods is just fighting the puck. You can see he is thinking to make the right play, he needs to adjust to the speed and lose the nerves.

I'd like to see him simplify and try throwing some hits. That could help

1st actual NHL game id expect to see that

 

[MS]

Chiasson a useless slow slug dragging down Pettersson and Miller.

Pearson a useless slow slug dragging down Horvat and Garland.

Meanwhile Hoglander is the best player on the ice for either team but stuck playing on a line with two guys who will score 15 points this year.

Travis Green is a shit coach.

 

[rypper]

Cabbie is great.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Podkolzin needs to play like he did on the Russian national team as a 16 year old, he was a bulldog trying to prove himself back then. As he matured into a leadership role he took his foot off the gas with that lunatic energy, he needs it back

I mean, it's been 1 period.

 

[wonton15]

Swap Hog and Chiasson. It’s so fking obvious. Fk you Green

 

[Hooz]

Pod should get sent down. He hasn’t looked ready since the start of preseason. Nothing wrong with spending some time in Abby.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Switch out Chiasson and put in Hogs with Miller & Petey.
