Hated the guy as a player, love him as a media guy.

He's probably the only sportscaster I really enjoy right now.

 

[Three On Zero]

Probably jitters and a little rust. That reminded me of some of my Czech teams when everything goes wrong all at once.lol

This is a polar opposite series from Nashville.


Heavily defensive to heavily offensive

 

[GeoRox89]

Bieksa... 'must be tough to prescout that. They only did it every game against LA'.lmao

Bieksa is the most entertaining analyst across CBC/SN and ESPN/TNT. It’s really not close either

 

[Macheteops]

So terrible that they allowed 6 shots on goal.

They were a bit sloppy. Nurse giving it away a few different times. He's much better when he simplifies his game and uses his D partner instead of trying to be the GUY to always make the big stretch pass

 

[soothsayer]

I don't get why the Canucks are pressuring the Oilers D on the blue line and in the Oilers' own zone, but then sit back and let the Oilers cycle at will.

 

[Czechboy]

Thanks to cole

How has he been this season? I haven't really followed him at all. Is this just a bad 20 minutes for him or is this the standard?

 

[Zanon]

Ian cole completely shit the bed. Took the penalty, couldnt cover Hyman on PK and give away by Cole for the 2nd goal. Without Cole it would be 0-0

Yeah that was about as rough of a period as I have ever seen for a player. Big yikes. Probably feels terrible for his teammates.

As if $500 can feed a family for a few weeks in 2024

Thats 2 meals at McDonalds now.

 

[Avsfan1921]

Sloppy all around I thought. I would expect things clean up in the 2nd

That’s how this series is gonna play out every game imo, just hope we get more than 5 of them

 

[Banjo Cat]

The Canucks are also adept at sustaining pressure and getting zero shots on net.

It's really strange. If you aren't paying attention to the shot clock with them you think they must have racked up quite a few shots, but their games have had the lowest shots.

 

[Canucks LB]

Bieksa looked ready to suit up for Vancouver after that period.

He was pissed

He has one of these games times to time. Overall he is meh.

He was fine in Preds series so i hope he wakes up

 

[Brookbank]

This wasn't called in an NHL hockey game

[McClelland]

Ekholm should have had 2 goals, that was a massive chance.

Nucks had some shifts with possession, but not much came out of it.

Drai had a great 1st, we look so much dangerous in our attacks.

Put the nail in the coffin early in the 2nd now.

 

[albator71]

Can you imagine having McDavid, MacKinnon and Crosby as your top 3 centers Canada is in business wow

 

[jeffff]

Ian cole completely shit the bed. Took the penalty, couldnt cover Hyman on PK and give away by Cole for the 2nd goal. Without Cole it would be 0-0

Lmfao…..without Hyman ane Eks it would be 0-0.

99% of goals are scored because of a mistake.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

that petersson contract will soon be the worst contract in the west

Are we forgetting that Darnell Nurse is still playing?

 

[Me9999999999]

Why is Luke "8 Career Points" Gazdic on my tv screen?

 

[Avsfan1921]

that petersson contract will soon be the worst contract in the west

Not while nurse is a thing lol

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Cmon you oversized dolphins

 

[jackjohnson]

Yeah that was about as rough of a period as I have ever seen for a player. Big yikes. Probably feels terrible for his teammates.

I think Canucks been reading too much on Oilers hype and giving them too much respect. They need to keep the Oilers in their own zone.

 

[Misko]

How has he been this season? I haven't really followed him at all. Is this just a bad 20 minutes for him or is this the standard?

Thought he looked terrible near the end of the season, then looked solid against the Preds, and now this period he is back to ass

 

[Ruok]

Thats 2 meals at McDonalds now.

For real though, I felt like changing it up and going and getting a hot chocolate this morning, and was shocked to see Mcd's wanted 5.50 for a medium.

Not while nurse is a thing lol

Maybe but has looked good playing big minutes in the post season so far
