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

[Josepho]

I had a lot of fun that period.

 

[Canuckle1970]

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

Let's give Huggy Bear a break - he's missed practice a few days due to a cold.

Someone needs to dummy Nurse - guy needs to be checked bad.......

 

[Jumptheshark]

How is Puljujarvi complaining about that?

becuase 5 minutes later the same play happened but the canuck player doing what he did and there was no call

 

[logan5]

Have to score on this power play. Canucks 3 PP's in a row, so you know the penalty threshold is going to drop. Weak calls upcoming on the Canucks.

This is what Dakota Joshua is for. Keep idiots like Nurse in check. He can stand up to any guy in the league.

 

[JT Milker]

Begone.

 

[Dirtyclapper]

lol did pearson just outskate 3 oilers?

how out of shape are they

He quit smokin darts this offseason

 

[mossey3535]

Team looking great. If forwards can play like this all the time the team will do well. They are definitely making things simpler for a depleted back end.

 

[ChilliBilly]

I had the good scoring chances at like 7 - 1 for Vancouver.

What a great start to the season. Could have been 3 or 4 - 0 after one.

They carried the play the the Oil are getting frustrated.

 

[kanucks25]

Stillman after one period Looks solid.

Other than that one play where they let McDavid walk into the slot uncontested he was fine.

 

[LordBacon]

I feel like nurse is constantly trying to injure other players.

 

[Hooz]

Sucks to see Hogs going this way. He needs to figure it out quick, before Mikheyev comes back.

 

[krutovsdonut]

what a ridiculous puff piece of a feature on mcdrai.

"what's the toughest question you have asked mcdavid?"

draisaitl. "that he needs to score 60"

gross

 

[Diversification]

What the heck is Friedman wearing? Maybe suitable as an ugly shirt, but as a suit?

Makes me long for his Ron Burgundy phase.

 

[kanucks25]

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

He looks a little busy to me. It worked on that play where Pettersson setup Hoglander for the one-timer (Poolman stood up at center) but it didn't work when he tried to do the same thing and got put in a spin cycle for a odd-man rush against.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Just curious where's Bieksa

 

[sting101]

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.

compared to Lidstrom?

 

[krutovsdonut]

I feel like nurse is constantly trying to injure other players.

from watching the preseason, it is the oilers thing this year. they are going to be dirty. they want to be feared.

Just curious where's Bieksa

not needed to fluff the oilers.

 

[Hansen]

There was one or two clumsy moments but I dont see Hog standing out in a bad way after that period. Hes going to the right places, getting open, taking up space in tight, its not his fault we lack a dynamic powerplay built around generating shooting and passing lanes

 

[Canucks LB]

That’s a good question, where is bieksa?

 

[Zanon]

Why does Darnell Nurse remind me of a pachycephalosaurus

 

[Canuckle1970]

Just curious where's Bieksa

He's a Saturday night guy.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Canucks gotta capitalize on one of these PPs, jesus. Makeup calls are coming.

 

[Hansen]

That Elliotte Friedman is the face of hockey broadcasting in Canada is so wild and disturbing to me
