Pre-Game Talk: Oilers vs. Canucks - time to make Vancouver rainier than usual

[McHelpus]

How are we still not playiiiiiiiiingggg this is ridukulos

All good, McDrai with a full week rest in the playoffs? Sounds like a nightmare for the Canucks.

Still, if anything the Canucks probably pushed to have this delayed so they'd have more time to mend. Especially for Hughes, who has been playing with something. Overall it benefits the Canucks

 

[elmeroil]

Not sure why y'all are bringing this up but if you're comparing it to Nuck fans turning Vancouver into a war zone after losing in the finals, well... there is no comparison.

It's like comparing the way Cam Ward's family were treated watching the finals with the way Nuck fans treated Lucic's family when they were playing the Bruins.


Henrique is listed day to day with an injury.

I'd put Holloway there

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'd put Holloway there

He'll probably get time there, but Janmark is largely fine, they're concerned about defensive responsibility there and Janmark can bring that.

 

[brentashton]

I kinda worry Holloway lacks the IQ and will defer to Mcdavid too much. I'd rather try Foegele

Holloway deserves his shot tho, even Janmark deserves his shot over Foegele

I don’t understand your post.

You start by saying that you’d rather have Foegle than Holloway because Holloway lacks IQ, then you suggest that Holloway “deserves a shot tho” and then say Janmark deserves a shot over Foegle.

All in the space of 3 sentences.

Can you just pick one of the three and commit to it?

I’ve met people like you on the Henday. You straddle 2 lanes for 2 kilometers then lane change to the left hand lane only to boot over to the right hand lane in 100 meters in order to catch the off ramp to Calgary Trail.

 

[brentashton]

Interference, hooking and slashing with intent going uncalled on McDavid wasn't, and still isn't, a good look for the NHL.

Nor is salary cap circumvention by LTIR or George Parros running DoPS. But here we are.

I miss all the talk around Rybellsus.

I was thinking that the Pearl Jam concert yesterday may have delayed things a bit also.

They should have been able to have played today. Pearl Jamb was on the 4th and 6th. But because they use eastside labour to clean out the Roger’s arena it’s a longer turnaround.

Wah?

PS you must be jet lagged . Hope you had a great visit with family and trip.

 

[McDoused]

I’m hearing Demko will be back for game 5 at the earliest. Sounds good to me.

Lets win it in 4.

 

[KCC]

So I. Guess shorthouse is calling the game tomorrow as Singh is calling the canes game today.

 

[Mav3rick07]

T-minus 24 hours.

 

[soothsayer]

I miss all the talk around Rybellsus.

Rybellsus? Hey, I'm taking that!

 

[Mav3rick07]

Cuthbert and Simpson are announcing the Oilers / Canucks series.

they might be remote... did you see fatso between the benches

Cuthbert and Simpson are announcing the Oilers / Canucks series.

there we go, a Vancouver homer and a color guy who never seems to make a comment or sees a play in the Oilers favor

 

[RegDunlop]

Jeeeeezzzz
Another day to go yet

They had Preds/Canucks gm 7 booked for the Sunday between the two Pearl Jam shows so they could have slotted gm1 in there. Canucks played Friday and could have made the 2 day turnaround like Dallas has to do playing Sunday then Tuesday. Also the Ranger/Hurricanes series started Sunday so I don’t see why the Oilers/Canucks couldn’t have.

Vancouvers version of LTIR I guess.

[tiger_80]

Dallas is humping Colorado with grace. lol

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I hope the Oilers players haven't forgotten how that scumbag Tochett kept his stars out for a late PP in a 6-1 game in the first game of the the year

 

[flashy]

is our new cringekino going to be our pump up song for this series?

 

[McAsuno]

The offence with Ryan O’Reilly and Gustav Nyquist is the same as Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl I guess apparently? Good grief, the homer take is strong.

Also, Zucker was the preds 2nd line C, but go off Iain!

I'll never forgive Rick Tocchet for blowing out Ryan Smyth's knee.

It was a dirty scumbag play which Tocchet was only suspended for two games.
