Post-Game Talk: Oilers def. Canucks in season opener, 5-3 (Pettersson, Miller, Kuzmenko)

[RutherPlan]

What Canucks are doing to the Oilers, is what Bruins did to the Canucks.

Canucks are owning them mentally. Burroughs and Stillman is such a solid pair.

 

[Petey O]

How is that idiot making so much money?

 

[ahmon]

overall team still put pucks in places that they can't get to.

once the speed/physicality ramps up it will become even more evident.

so many times we just lift the puck to no one, even when Brock made a great block he then decides to dump it to no one. We were not shorthanded.

Even Petey before a change just dumps it to no one.

These habits you don't see in elite teams.

A lot of the pressure from the oilers came from these plays.

Im willing to be both Kia and Sarah beat up Darnell when they were younger and Darnell would tell Mommy about it

 

[theoriginalBCF]

I'd put Podz in for Hogz on PP2...

 

[crowfish]

Hughes has some questionable hockey IQ at times. He frequently hesitates to pass over to a wide-open EP on the powerplay... Only to then fire a pass straight through Petey's skates a split second later.

 

[CherryToke]

Oilers are really believing that cup contender hype aren't they? Clowns lol

 

[Canucks LB]

Stillman after one period Looks solid.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Nurse such a clown

 

[Pip]

All of the penalties have been supper blatant. However refs will still looking to even up after the Nurse penalty I bet

 

[Canucks LB]

Bumper slot horvat goal inc

 

[LaVal]

Watching how much the Oilers whine and complain to the refs must have been what it was like for fans of other teams to watch the 2008-2013 Canucks.

 

[Sharkbomb]

This period could have ended 4-0, Oilers were lucky. Hope the boys can keep the intensity they've shown so far for another two periods.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Why do the Oilers have so many idiots in the lineup? Basically wasting mcdavid and drai with all the low IQ players.

 

[Peen]

Canucks have had so many grade A chances..hopefully it doesn’t bite them later in the game..

We gave up 4-5 really good chances as well but

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

as ever, if you're going to go with two LHS on the first unit PP, how is one of them not OEL?

what even is the point of having OEL on this team?

move EP to RW, move kuz to the left side to utilize his RHS, and put JTM on the second unit. JTM, boeser, and whoever's leftover between podkolzin, garland, and hoglander is a damn good second unit, even if you have to ice two randos who have no business being on an NHL PP on the blueline.

 

[LordBacon]

nurse is a bum. overpaid and bad at hockey

Perfect for the oilers.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

What Canucks are doing to the Oilers, is what Bruins did to the Canucks.

Canucks are owning them mentally. Burroughs and Stillman is such a solid pair.

Yeah..that pairing is getting under their skin..

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Big pp to start the 2nd. Gotta take advantage so mcdavid can't will the Oilers to a comeback.

 

[krutovsdonut]

oilers are playing well. canucks better. the only canuck a little off is hughes.

canucks will need to keep their head up. the oilers are going to start head hunting now. it is part of their identity.

the oilers pk has been impressive.

Hughes has some questionable hockey IQ at times. He frequently hesitates to pass over to a wide-open EP on the powerplay... Only to then fire a pass straight through Petey's skates a split second later.

For whatever reason he can’t set up Petterson for one-timers how he likes them. It’s sorta comical ar this point.

To me it's a choice and not a lack of hockey IQ. At times he tries to score with his muffin shot and looks off petey

 

[wonton15]

having Stillman back there feels great as more physical insurance tbh

 

[Peen]

Didn’t think Poolman looked too bad that period. A LOT better than he did at the start of preseason.

Has kept up with the pace of the game

 

[Gstank]

Oh Elliot you might want to hide the tape of that interview. Has a weird tan line going on there
