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

How do you try to build a Stanley Cup contender and decide to have Skinner as your goaltender?

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Credit to the Canucks, they never stopped skating, Oilers were thinking about their post game meals in the second intermission and went to sleep.

 

[TruKnyte]

This series is going to be a battle. Still think the Oilers are the favourites to win, but it’s not going to be the steamroll that some oilers fan believe it’ll be.

 

[SharksCyclops]

That last icing wasn’t icing just saying..

Draisaitl certainly didn't have much urgency skating for that puck...to say the least

 

[Brookbank]

Haha theyre not wrong, neither of these teams is beating Dallas/Colorado, especially if Draisaitl is injured

They are wrong. The Canucks can win against anyone. But keep doubting us. You'll be snuffed out next

 

[Bounces R Way]

Cmon CBC show the fights at the Moss Pit

 

[snag]

You guys had a 3 goal lead. Blame your goalie

You think the outcome isn't different if the penalty that should be called is called at that point in the game?

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Well that was cerainly fun.

i'd do that again.

 

[Dust]

Edmonton is a 2 man team. Take either Drai or McDavid out and they would be like chicago

Take the two best players off a team and they are worse. Fantastic observation.

 

[Skallagrim]

Can't choke on home ice when you are the away team.

Nevermind, I correct myself: you can choke harder as the away team.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

LA can learn from Vancouver on how to play solid team D.

 

[Dradavich]

This team is ruining my life.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Everybody talking about how the Oilers suck now but after the first they were gods gift to hockey.

They do have the best player in the world.

 

[DFAC]

Disasterous game by the nucks.
First thing is a too many men, which they score, then a couple of really bloody soft goals.
Pettersson is a no show, as usual and pp is aenemic.

Still they win.

This Canucks group is resilient.

Yeah and Hughes was boarded and no call, call it even

 

[Nuckles]

The fraudulent Oilers couldn't even get 20 shots in a playoff game against an AHL goalie who just turned 23 years old. Yikes

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Draisaitl certainly didn't have much urgency skating for that puck...to say the least

Draisatl was floating around out there? Not giving his best effort on a play? You're telling me this now for the first time?

 

[22Brad Park]

1 game down, but man, I'm not sure I'm gonna live through this series, ahaha.

Never count McDavid out. If there's anyone currently in the league who can take over a series, it's him.

Don't let him lol

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

I'm fully expecting 1000 new posts in the series thread when I wake up in the morning, 800 of them complaining about the refs.

1200 of them deleted.

 

[Quinning]

It was like the Canucks went "Hey didn't we beat this team 52-1 in October?"

 

[rea]

Gg Oilers. See you game 2.

 

[Senscore]

Absolutely incredible collapse. But somehow not uncharacteristic.

 

[Szechwan]

Clearly the series for who gets to get absolutely curbstomped by COL or DAL.

Just like how y'all said the Van-Nash series winner was going to get absolutely curbstomped by Edmonton?

I don't even disagree, but it's the playoffs - dumb time to make absolute statements like that.

Mods, unlock that series thread with 3k posts

Yes, please do.

 

[Javaman]

The McDroilers fumble the ball once again.
