GDT: WCSF | GM 3 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Sunday, May 12th | 6:30PM PST | SPAC

Getting an early goal would be big - get them to load up on McDrai again and wear those f***ers down. Long series.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Generally this is how I should feel, but I am too scarred to not prepare for the worst.

PTSD is part of the package of being a Canucks fan, it’s true. It clashes pretty consistently with my glass half full outlook on life. One of my friends wrote in my high school yearbook “keep up that irrepressible good mood”. I’ve just got to believe in these guys!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also - hoping a dam of sorts breaks for Petey now. An outburst from him would be huge. Also, Hughes is skating miles and everything flows through him, but a statement offensive game would be huge right about now too.

Gameday mother f***ers.

Remember everyone, we're supposed to have been half way to an Oilers sweep by now. Instead we won a game and they barely beat us in a down game for us.

 

[vancityluongo]

Just got my tickets weeeeeeooooooooo

First ever playoff game, so stoked!!! Let's get that W.

Keep an eye out for a heritage classic Hank jersey lmao

 

[mossey3535]

No Sutherland tonight, thank goodness.

Spector is a f***ing clown, as if the Oilers aren't whining and bitching to the refs every second.

As a ref that would piss me off, not sure why they get calls. It's not like it shuts them up.

Posted this GIF here before game 4, and 6 of the Nashville series..2 for 2...lets try it again.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Gotta get the split in Edmonton. Also need to kill more than 50% against their powerplay. Just here stating the obvious.

 

[Bobby9]

4-2 Oilers.

Yeah, I was pissed that the JPat tweet had Spector quoted. He’s such a hack, and I hate giving him any sort of circulation. He even tried to say he wanted the Canucks to win in 2011 (we’ve got the receipts, you goof) and then denigrated the towel power tradition - as if more than half the NHL hasn’t bastardized and appropriated towel power for their own use.

A weak writer stretching for material to fill out another weak column. But I guess he’d already written enough puff pieces about the Canucks having no chance against McDavid and his 18-foot dick.

To anyone suggesting refs are sane, unbiased and good at their jobs I have one response: Tim Peel

Its bizarre how Spector launches in to this narrative, while every hockey fan coast to coast witnessed:

a) Nurse boarding Pettersson , it was a miracle Pettersson got up...No call.

b) Hughes clearly high sticked, and bleeding..Should have been 4 minutes..Imagine the outcry if McDavid had been cut..?

c) A clear, very dangerous slew foot by Kane on Hughes.

He’s just trolling. If those situations were reversed, he wouldn’t have been able to print a column through the tear stains.

 

[Zanon]

Skinner wasn’t particularly sharp against the Kings at home. Hopefully that trend continues.

[rypper]

The amount of people outside of Vancouver who don't understand the lore behind Roger Neilson and the white flag... and just refuse to do the tiniest bit of research.

I mean - it’s Spector. I can’t recall many (any?) other opposing press types who write the kind of nonsense he does.

I suppose Simmons in Toronto?

 

[Donuts]

They keep targeting hughes.
On top of getting hughes off his game, I I think oilers want canucks to retaliate back on their captain Mcdavid knowing refs will call some penalties if mcdavid gets hit in anyway ( ie suter penalty on mcdavid) and hope they get some powerplays out of it.

Oilers at least know to play to their advantage. Canucks need to be smarter in game 3

Anyways canucks must win game 3 and dont give edmonton full momentum. Win game 3 and split is already in the card but has a chance to go back home up 3-1 if they win game 4 as well

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Heading to JOEYS for lunch. Maybe Edmontons GM will try and sign me a contract!

This is the exact reason canucks should be targeting not only McDavid/ Drai but Bouchard as well and Ekholm.

Cry and whine as much as possible and you are lock

 

[Bobby9]

Canucks need to invest in the series tonight and not the game.

What I mean is they need to focus on clean but often contact w Drai. Over and over. Hard and heavy. Immobilize him for the series.

This is a marathon.
