GDT: WCSF - Game 2: Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Fri. May 10th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | Don’t Change That Channel

[Muffin]

McDavid and Draisaitl make all defence look bad same way MaCkinnon and Rantanen do

Except it was self inflicted. That play doesn’t happen if Soucy doesn’t step up for no reason.

 

[Coffey]

JT Miller decided to have zero shots today. I wonder who’s next?

 

[snag]

1 he shouldn't have. He shouldn't just get calls & non-calls in his favour because he's the best player, thats why ppl hate him.

And the best player SHOULD be drawing the most calls otherwise the other guys aren't doing their jobs either

 

[Summer Rose]

Silovs still a little shakey, but he has a lot of development ahead of him

He's a young goalie and I wish him well. Maybe he can become the next Arturs Irbe.

 

[VainGretzky]

Call McDavid high stick Canucks get 4 min poweplay they probably score at least 1 .Refs can change games in a blink

If yesterday was today would today be tomorrow

The same can be said about the high stick on Hyman. There were a lot of missed calls in this game. But when you get a powerplay because RNH dropped his stick and gets a penalty for it, it should take away the sting a bit.

Hymans was missed and in the middle the action around the net with 10 guys involved. McDavid was in open ice , the puck a few feet away, and it drew blood. Hughes got thrown off the ice because he was bleeding on it. Southerland wouldn't even look at him , just kept pointing to the bench.

 

[Kurtosis]

Oilers were a coin flip away from being down 2.

Vancouver's pressure in the latter half of the first game was better than Edms pressure tonight

I was talking about the series as a whole though.

 

[Three On Zero]

He's a young goalie and I wish him well. Maybe he can become the next Arturs Irbe.

He’s already earmarked for the next Demko

 

[syz]

Top line and top pairing dragging the Oilers around like f***in Weekend at Bernie's. Anybody else needs to wake up.

 

[Brookbank]

Vancouvers pressure was better than Edmontons pressure tonight? What kind of rationalizing is that? That comment is up there is "handshake respect"

Vans pressure in game 1

 

[Dust]

I think we're giving Sutherland far too much credit on the missed high stick by McDavid. I'm guessing he didn't make the call because he was staring at the attractive blonde in row 10, instead of officiating the game.

 

[Grifter3511]

I have it as an even 3 3 split.

Game 1: P1 - Edmonton, P2, P3 - Vancouver
Game 2: P1 - Edmonton, P2 - Vancouver, P3 - Edmonton

It's about as even as it could be.

Fair enough. I didn't actually see the first tonight so I was just going off hearsay.

What I will say is that if the Oilers need to ride their top forwards this much to get past the canucks, it doesn't bode well for future rounds (both in quality of competition and energy levels of their top players).

 

[nuxnux1]

Woulda been happy pre series splitting the first 2. Gotta remember we have a guy with less than 10 nhl games in net and not our vezina nominee.

Canucks bitching about a missed high stick penalty as if the exact same thing didn't happen to Hyman at the end of the 1st period.

Or how about the missed too many men call on the Zadorov goal?

lol if anyone could possibly think the Canucks got the short end of the stick on officiating.

 

[Rudy Russo]

JT Miller decided to have zero shots today. I wonder who’s next?

Either Skinner or Silovs.

And?

I'm not denying it was a bad miss. I'm dismissing the notion that it was a singular turning point in light of many other misses, coupled with the assumption that a goal would have resulted. If you want a cherry on top, it's been suggested that the too many men on the Zadorov goal was let go because of the miss on the high stick.

 

[Coffey]

Top line and top pairing dragging the Oilers around like f***in Weekend at Bernie's. Anybody else needs to wake up.

But I’ve always been told that McDavid doesn’t do enough in the playoffs.

 

[K1900L]

Draisiatl is getting left wide open, he a complete after thought. Offense flows through McDavid and not him

Your Draisaitl-hate through the years has certainly been entertaining.
As someone who has seen each and every game in the McDrai-playoff era, I can with certainty say that Draisaitl has been the bigger playoff performer and more important offensive weapon in most series so far. And many Oilers-fans will agree with me. He is head to head with the best player in the world.

Last year and this year, it seems that it was McDavid who needed Draisaitl to get going in some series by moving back to his line. McDavid is more flashy while Draisaitl is more aggressive and playoff-capable it seems. McDavid splits the D with his skating, Draisaitl with his puck protection and passing and physicality -- he controls the pace of the game.

How do you describe this? No-offense-Draisaitl creating offense pretty well, no?

 

[Dempsey]

The Canucks are a damn good team. We were lucky to come out tied 1-1. Good luck in game 3.

 

[nuxnux1]

The one thing I take from these 2 games is the series is very winnable

 

[syz]

But I’ve always been told that McDavid doesn’t do enough in the playoffs.

Also not a good enough leader, apparently. He should be able to tell the rest of these guys how to go out and do.... literally anything.

It's a great series.

 

[NailsHoglander]

Gotta love the travel schedule. Off to Deadmonton we go

 

[Brookbank]

What does the deserve o meter say ? For all the Edmonton fans who say they really out played Vancouver

 

[Bizzare]

Lmao, Hyman didn’t even take a stick to the face it was the puck. What a shame after all the whining by Oiler fans about it.
