GDT: WCSF GM01 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Wed. May 8th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | In Arturs We Trust

Some urgency please?

 

[TruKnyte]

Remember at the beginning of the year when we scored on like every other powerplay? I miss those days.

You knew tho that teams would eventually figure it out. Tocchet hasn’t adjusted at all

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Part of its bounces, but Silovs still needs to track the puck better. He’s not an NHL regular, guy was in the AHl most of the year

And we also need to score more than 1 goal.

 

[AzNightmare]

so f***ing slow. If you're going to turn, TURN faster. ffs

 

[SillyRabbit]

its wild how we went from being a high powered offensive team to struggling to score a goal

Averaging 2.1 two goals per game over the past 25 games.

So either we win 2-1, or we don't win.

 

[thecupismine]

Probably the least upset I've been down 4-1 in a playoff game.

Cole and Silovs have been brutal, outside of that the team has played fine. Its just unfortunate that in a game where they've played so well at ES that they've repeatedly shot themselves in the foot.

PP needs to be better on the entries though.

Yep. Although, a lot of those cute cross-zone passes just aren't going to make it through at this time of year. The Canucks coaching staff have enough experience playing the game to know as much. I'm not sure why Vancouver is still trying all these cute cross passes like it's November.

Put desmith in the 3rd

 

[aquaweenie]

Juulsen would struggle with the pace but at least he’d have thrown a savage hit by now

 

[dez]

Not sure how Desmith is mentally, he's probably wondering how he lost his starting job after winning his last game before getting injured.

 

[quat]

Well, they need to figure it out. They've got the horses

 

[TruKnyte]

And we also need to score more than 1 goal.

Of course, but if your goalie is letting in softies you’re going to backcheck harder and get in front of pucks, which is god defensively but neuters the offense

 

[EpochLink]

They cannot be like this on Friday.
They can't.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Silovs was a nice story but he's not covering up for Ian Cole.

 

[Treefingers]

Just really unfortunate. We’ve played a good period and then two shots that have no business going in get by Silovs.

 

[mossey3535]

I've said this before but Silovs is just not consistent. Sure you can forgive the PP goal, but then a screen he couldn't fight through; another screen with a weak high deflection; finally a tip that was still a very stoppable dribbler.

 

[TruKnyte]

They cannot be like this on Friday.
They can't.

I don’t even think they’ve played that horribly, just can’t get a save.

 

[Red]

these icings are pathetic

edmonton player obviously skating in sand for the puck to just barely trickle across

 

[SiZ]

They need to be finishing every check at this point. But, that's really not their game unfortunately

 

[Flik]

Man, this was a much better second too, but some sieve like goaltending and here we are.

Feels bad man

 

[Donuts]

Mcdavid not even playing his best. The game canucks should have taken advantage but most of them come out unprepared

[TruKnyte]

There’s some puck luck

 

[AzNightmare]

Put desmith in the 3rd

No point, the game is over.

DeSmith can get ready to own his own game in game 2.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Lindholm I love you!
