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

[CycloneSweep]

Is there a team left in the playoffs that can stop edmonton?

Rangers, Florida, Dallas, Colorado

 

[Mobiandi]

Might be a good idea if Tocchet stopped grimacing and started making some changes. Very poor playoff showing through 7 games

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

It's Stuart f***ing Skinner. I mean, c'mon now...

 

[booyakasha]

Hughes seems to fall down a lot.

How come the Oilers are better at getting the puck out of their end on the PK than 5 on 5.

 

[TheNumber4]

Elias looks exactly like Drai from that spot…..

 

[Regal]

It's different when you play against three 50 goal scorers and three 100 point guys. AHL goalie can work against AHL offence but it's getting exposed pretty bad. Canucks need an elite goaltending performance to keep these games close.

Why would they need elite goaltending when they’ve been the better team this period? They just don’t need terrible goaltending

*quietly mutters something about PDO then runs out*

 

[Three On Zero]

This is a big PP for Vancouver, if they don't convert here I think this one may be over.

Skinner is a lot better than Silovs, it’s already over.

(Despite people trying to say Silovs was just as good)

 

[State of Hockey]

EP40 isn't Draisaitl obviously. That has to go in.

RNH knocked him down, thats how small he is

 

[CycloneSweep]

People talk about how bad the Oilers are defensively but the PK is perfect in the playoffs. Thats impressive.

 

[Bobby9]

EP40’s contract is gonna haunt the Canucks for a long long time

[Sniper99]

Good PK

 

[JKG33]

Hughes has like top 10 edges in the league and flops on that

Jack would've found a way to get hurt on the way down

 

[Despote]

Edmonton has the talent that pucks in the net, you need elite goaltending to offset that. AHL goaltending is not keeping guys like Hyman and Draisaitl off the scoresheet.

DeSmith at least as solid playoff experience. I don’t understand not going to him (unless he’s still banged up)

 

[Brookbank]

There is twice as much room out there compared to playing the Predators

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

This game would be going differently if Travis Green was behind the 'nucks bench. A proper coach can do wonders for a team

 

[syz]

If I see Warren Foegele try to dangle instead of shoot considering the shots that have gone by Silovs tonight I'm going to flip a table.

 

[SullivanT]

foegele has to be leading the nhl on pointless icing per 60

 

[VainGretzky]

But But But ..... regular season

 

[GrumpyKoala]

The Oilers arrogance doesn't match the score that's for sure. They were twice as arrogant when leading 2/0

We do that to alleviate the stress. I am actually a bit worried about this matchup.

So yeah it's over... we are way too good

 

[Brookbank]

DeSmith at least as solid playoff experience. I don’t understand not going to him (unless he’s still banged up)

Tocchet rewarding his tweeners. That's why Ian Cole started the game too
