Post-Game Talk: WCSF GM02 | Canucks lose to Oilers in OT | 3-4 (Pettersson, Boeser, & Zadorov) | Less than Stellar Effort

[Blue and Green]

McDavid one shift away from the Miller line they score. Great idea to put the lotto line together there.

McDavid line was destroying Miller line all night long anyway.

 

[canuckking1]

Silovs sorta was meh.
Look at DeSmith come game 3.

You can’t be serious

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I don't like blaming the refs.

But my God. That was f***ing atrocious. The 4 minute miss on McDavid nearly taking Hughes eye out was particularly bad. And then the only penalty in the third was a McDavid dive.

Draisaitl deciding to play is what really sunk us in the end. He still contributed in a big way.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

The three missed calls at the end of the third and the blown missed double minor on McDavid were your typical Kelly Sutherland fingerprints on this one. Different game with a competent official.

But we can’t go into a shell and expect to hold the door against McDavid and Draisaitl.

 

[mathonwy]

Mykheyev is such a waste of cap space

 

[ahmon]

We let Oilers dominate possession and just gave the puck up for no reason.

Reminded me so much of the Vegas series this game.

The second the other team target Hughes, and you can see Hughes not holding the puck as much, our transition is all but neutered.

This is why we consistently generate so little shots on goal for most of the playoffs games so far.

And I need to repeat, put Blueger back with Garland/Joshua, they had so much chemistry, don't break up your best line, this is on Tocchet.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Eventually the Oilers were gonna score even if Cole didn't do that.

 

[deadinthewater992]

Not cool how they let one line walk all over them. Brutal efforts after the tying goal.

 

[MS]

First 40 minutes were good.

Last 25 minutes were bad.

Referees were bad.

McBaby is a f***ing amazing player and also a despicable diving whining POS.

Too many mistakes. Worst game from the D-group this playoffs.

OT winner after the Lotto Line has an awful shift and then McDavid gets a better matchup. No idea why people are so in love with that line - they had one great NY road trip this year and have been absolute shit otherwise.

 

[Zaddy91]

Season is over replace Cole with Tanev and mykahev with a f***ing roll of toilet paper

 

[TruKnyte]

Sad thing is we could have won this if Soucy and Myers hadn’t made an idiotic play at the blueline

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Hughes, Hronek & Zadorov were excellent.


Myers passes are not accurate and lead to icings.

Soucy made a couple really bad mistakes defensively.


Cole tip was so unfortunate.

A few uncharacteristic defensive blunders cost us the game. But the Oilers deserved the win, they were the better team. Oilers got away with a lot of cheap stuff and stick infractions. Canucks sat back too much barely had any sustained pressure, need way more pressure and puck possession than that. Canucks need to move the puck around quicker. Hard fought game by both teams.

 

[EpochLink]

Time to shuffle come game 3.

 

[aquaweenie]

Silovs sorta was meh.
Look at DeSmith come game 3.

Did you watch the 3rd period?

 

[Tonystretcher]

Hronek, Myers, and Cole got exposed tonight, just horrific games from all of them. Our whole right side

 

[SillyRabbit]

McDavid line was destroying Miller line all night long anyway.

The problem is that the Miller line is our only line that can score.

And they spend all of their shifts without the puck.

You'd expect Pettersson's line to be able to generate something at 5-on-5, but they didn't.

I think that's why they ended up going back with the lotto line in OT.

 

[Flik]

after mcjesus scored that breakaway, we became a different team

can’t hang back and play scared of getting blown by like that

I think we were playing pretty timid most of the game, for whatever reason.

That's how it goes sometimes.

Edmonton dictated things pretty well, and McDavid did his silly best player in the league thing,

Oh well.

I do think the officiating was poor, but we shouldn't have let that get to us, gotta maintain composure and steal home ice back now!

 

[Donuts]

Juulsen cant be worst than cole at this point

 

[crazychimp]

Silovs sorta was meh.
Look at DeSmith come game 3.

Silovs was the reason we weren’t scored on in the third what were the shots in that period?

 

[Canuckle1970]

Oilers played well, but they got some very generous reffing breaks throughout the game.

 

[Slapshot_11]

It's a f***ing joke Sutherland is allowed to be a ref

 

[Kryten]

Hronek was absolutely dreadful this game.

He was actually good last game then was terrible tonight.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Imagine hearing that Draisaitl was a game time decision and not bothering to hit him all game.

Canucks should literally be taking runs at him. Make him feel the pain.

 

[iFan]

Pettersson is getting better but he needs to be so much more than what he's been showing. Miller is a beast

 

[Hansen]

Lets be real, very slim chances we took this series to Edmonton up 2-0. Its not going to be easy. We’re in this
