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

[Vector]

I want to see Brock shoot that.

 

[CherryToke]

Can anyone convince me Horvat is better than RNH

Nuge is miles better defensively

 

[Kryten]

Better make it count

 

[ahmon]

tries to pass and pass it right into a defender...

 

[wonton15]

Bruce is about to explode

 

[Petey O]

I want to say boeser has to shoot that, but maybe his wrist?

If his wrist is still bothering him, he shouldn't be playing. He is replacement level without his shot.

 

[M2Beezy]

1-7, but that was a weak weak hi stick call

 

[Canucks LB]

Pearson was exhausted, and he went right back out there on the PowerPlay for some reason

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Why is Pearson on the pp?

 

[Cupless44]

Defensively

He should have buried several chances offensively also

 

[Orca Smash]

If his wrist is still bothering him, he shouldn't be playing. He is replacement level without his shot.

I agree but thats the only explanation and thats on the training staff if thats why he did not shoot. He should be sitting.

 

[quat]

Well, this is certainly interesting

 

[wonton15]

Gotta say, OEL has looked like he’s lost a step

 

[quat]

Is this a new Oiler thing where they whine and complain about every. single. call. It's quite the process I'll admit. Lot's of theatrics.

 

[canuckking1]

I agree but thats the only explanation and thats on the training staff if thats why he did not shoot. He should be sitting.

You might be right. He hasn’t had a wrist shot all game.

 

[FlowMaster]

Watching Pearson and Horvat play hockey is tough.

 

[bbud]

Bo looked rough out there

Anyone have video of the Quinn hit)

Was on intermission

 

[Petey O]

I agree but thats the only explanation and thats on the training staff if thats why he did not shoot. He should be sitting.

I imagine it's just a confidence thing with him. He gets into these head spaces where he has zero confidence in his own ability and makes really frustrating decisions. It made perfect sense with the health of his father, but there won't be an excuse after this season.

Really hope he pulls it together.

 

[wonton15]

I see we are once again relying on Demko all season long

 

[M2Beezy]

Is this a new Oiler thing where they whine and complain about every. single. call. It's quite the process I'll admit. Lot's of theatrics.

Its entertaining, refs gonna start hating them if they keep this up all season lol

 

[BWJM]

Looks like the refs remembered what a "high stick" looked like suddenly.

 

[CherryToke]

Dont take the guy standing in front of the net or anything there Pool man

 

[Kryten]

Why give up possession when Drai was coming out of the box?

 

[Canucks LB]

Joshua is a worst skater than I imagined

 

[Red]

we gonna lose :'(
