[GM45] Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Sat, Jan. 18th | 7pm | HNIC/SNP | Doom & Gloom

Soucy didn't see a shift after that PK goal against.

He played it terribly but Garland was the reason the Oilers had that much space to begin with - fled the zone for no reason whatsoever:

The oilers play style is a championship system, its similar to colorado or florida in past years, they just keep working and try to score goals.

I hate edmonton but you have to give them credit, to many coaches try to dump it out and lock it down and teams like the ones above will always slaughter that safe boring style in todays game.

Man, Demko just does not look comfortable. Have to think about moving on from him - he has no trade protection and you have to think a team will take a flyer. That $5M could go a long way next season.

Seems like the canucks are trying some odd 2nd period long change defender scheme. LS defender comes off, RS defender comes on to replace the RS guy then he changes so LS D comes on? Otherwise why the F have Myers Hronek out there a few times?

Oilers have arguably the two most talented players in the world.

We have exactly one game breaking player and he should not be leading the rush across the blue line on most plays.

Well the only solution is to get a coach that will play that style. Because that will never be Tocchet.
