Post-Game Talk: WCQF GM06 | Canucks defeat Predators | 1-0 (Suter) | SILOVS! SUTER! HEROES!

[Another Empty Netter]

The Oilers didn't have to play playoff hockey vs the Kings like Canucks did with the Preds. They aren't going to be accustomed (or built for) to low event, low scoring hockey.

Oh they’re accustomed to it all right

Accustomed to losing

 

[alternate]

I like our chances vs EDM, but don't even care if we lose. This PO was about getting experience, and NSH gave us that. Oilers *should* beat us, but it's all house money now.

And if they don't? Where does that team go from a 2nd round loss to the PDO kings? All the pressure is on the Oilers.

Thanks to the Preds for making this group earn it. Didn't play our best, but lessons were most definitely learned.

 

[Regal]

You forgot a girl from Edmonton.

Nah, her knees are too frozen to go that quickly

 

[Zippgunn]

I don't even think the Oilers are the favorites.

 

[TruGr1t]

Yeah, my expectation is Monday at 7pm.

Yeah the Leafs/Bruins winner is already scheduled for Monday, and that isn't even over yet. Unless for some random reason they push Canucks/Oilers as the only game on Tuesday.

 

[M2Beezy]

Bring on the oilers

Canucks in 6

Man Id hate to lose two games to those coiling losers

 

[ziploc]

Holy smokes this feels good to win one.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

The reffing was objectively dog-shit this series, and favoured the Preds. Nashville played a dirtier, defense-focused game and spent a lot of time in their zone, with a couple of the earlier games completely tilted against them.

And yet, the powerplays this series were 22 to 13 in favour of the Preds. That is unmistakably biased, and it damages the NHL's brand imho.

In comparison, the EDM - LAK series (which saw the offensively gifted Oilers cave in the Kings) resulted in a much more logical 20 - 12 PP advantage to the Oilers.

The refs really do have it out for the Canucks, and it kind of sucks.

 

[DFAC]

Yeah, my expectation is Monday at 7pm.

Won't be Monday. There's a Pearl Jam concert at Rogers on Monday. So either Sunday or Tuesday

 

[Regal]

Yes you go with Vezina candidate Demko.

Moot point, but I think it's a slam dunk decision if he is healthy.

What if he can play but isn’t 100%?

 

[Zippgunn]

Tue would be better. Boys need the rest, maybe even give some time for Demko to recuperate

Not sure if serious...

 

[Vector]

Won't be Monday. There's a Pearl Jam concert at Rogers on Monday. So either Sunday or Tuesday

God damn it!

 

[M2Beezy]

Silvos is the

Kid with a shutout in an elimination game! To come in under the circumstances and play the way he did is ice cold. So happy for him and the team.

Jacky boy Burton

 

[arttk]

GUYS!!!!!!!!!

DUDE!!!!!!!!!

 

[TruGr1t]

Won't be Monday. There's a Pearl Jam concert at Rogers on Monday. So either Sunday or Tuesday

Then for sure Tuesday, with Avs series on Monday.

If you think that's bad, wait until you see the gift PPs the Coilers are handed.

 

[wonton15]

I can’t wait for Zadorov to lay out Draisaitl and watch HFBoards go up in flames

 

[NetMapel]

History will be made.

 

[Blue and Green]

Not only did we somehow get a 5th-round pick for Anthony Beauvillier, but then he came through with a spectacular non-effort for us on the winning goal to clinch the series.

 

[I am toxic]

Man I love your toxicity

 

[DFAC]

What if he can play but isn’t 100%?

Silovs unless Demko is 100%.

Easy call IMO. Silovs has looked great.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

History will be made.

I legitimately think he stopped that with his balls.
My goodness.

 

[M2Beezy]

Man I love Silovs.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Yeah, my expectation is Monday at 7pm.

Pearl Jam is at Rogers Sat/Sun/Mon
