[Nucker101]

Ohhhhhhh Find me in the Alps.

Series tied 1-1 then.

Hopefully the boys bounce back in game 3

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

If Draisaitl is dressed, he'll still be effective in his usual side shot spot.

Hyman's first goal in Game 1 was telegraphed enormously, and still didn't stop it. Hope we can nail down some of those cross seam passes today.

THEY NEED TO JUST START HACKING WRISTS

 

[thecupismine]

Ohhhhhhh Find me in the Alps.

How is Sutherland still reffing in the second round? No idea how he keeps getting so far in the playoffs. Old boys club but for refs.

Sorry, I should have elaborated. If its a back or abdominal injury it would affect the speed and velocity he gets his shots off which could affect the PP

 

[Nucker101]

Imagine being a ref and thinking the fans pay good money to come watch you take over the game? That’s some narcissistic shit.

 

[MS]

Ohhhhhhh Find me in the Alps.

Yeah, we’re f***ed.

I can’t remember a game in the last 15 years where Sutherland hasn’t screwed us. f*** that guy, and the fact that he’s reffing a Canucks playoff game in 2024 is a joke.

 

[arttk]

Ohhhhhhh Find me in the Alps.

we f***ed, expecting like 6-8 PP against us

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

we f***ed, expecting like 6-8 PP against us

Don't forget about the the 5 on 3's!

Mr Sutherland loves dishing out 5 on 3's. Usually a bs penalty gets the ball rolling.

 

[alternate]

Game days in May are beautiful things.

Expecting a loss mostly because I'm expecting a long series, but hope this is our most physical game yet of the post season. Especially vs Drai and Ekholm.

 

[supercanuck]

I am expecting a huge bounce back game from Silovs tonight.

EP finally breaks through with a 1G + 2A night.

3-1 Vancouver

 

[Flik]

Oh god, not that asshole Sutherland again.

 

[M2Beezy]

Heres to hoping the guys crush and demoralize the Oilers again! Time for the Arty Party to come back!

Man I love this team

GO CANUCKS GO

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I expect a significantly better 60 minute effort from the Oilers tonight, and a parade to the penalty box.

I still expect us to be the better team 5v5.

Calling my shot...I'm cautiously optimistic we take this one in spite of the odds and in spite of Sutherland.

 

[drax0s]

If Vancouver tries to make skilled plays down low and either coughs up the puck or misses a shot, it leaves the Oilers in a good position to counter quickly, especially because their forwards are already positioned high in the zone to make their breakout more like a jailbreak. It’s a potentially novel approach to impose Edmonton’s preferred pace and style on this series, and one that worked particularly well in the first half of Game 1.

You'd think if this was the case (and was successful), it would lead to a lot more odd-man rushes or breakaways? That wasn't really the case in Game 1.

• 1st Goal - Powerplay goal.
• 2nd Goal - Zone entry (2 vs line of 3 Canucks) to gain zone and then extended ozone time.
• 3rd Goal - Point shot off zone entry (1 vs 3 Canucks).
• 4th Goal - Zone entry (2 vs 4 Canucks).

 

[TruGr1t]

Read on X that the Canucks are 0-7-1 in the last 8 games reffed by Sutherland.

Hoping for a c-c-c-c-c-c-combo breaker!

Apparently Friedman says he expects Silovs will start Game 2.

I think folks here and on twitter are blowing this perceived ref vendetta way out of proportion and its pretty pathetic.

Every NHL team has fans who think all refs or certain refs are out to get them. It's a practicality in every sport. Even if one believes there is a bias, this team has shown its resilience and its ability to overcome anything thrown at them this season. Those suggesting that the game is lost before it even happens are applying some strong false equivalence. These fans are ignoring the capabilities of this team and what they've already proven they can accomplish.

Take the moral and sporting high ground, Vancouver. There's no winning by complaining about the refs. I guarantee you that none of the players are worried about Sutherland or any other individual ref.

I'm taking it you didn't watch the 2013 SJ series.

 

[TruKnyte]

Think we're going to need to score at least 4 goals to win this one. Oilers will get their PP chances, and my guess is they score at least 1 or 2 with the man advantage. Will be a tough test.

 

[Orr4Norris]

Circulate his picture to every restaurant/cafe in town. Dudes gotta eat somewhere. Problem solved. That’s how you do Home ice advantage

 

[StickShift]

I don't think that is true? A quick google search of the last two seasons of Canucks games where Sutherland was a referee:

I have not updated my page in years but.... Fire Kelly Sutherland Facebook

If we can win this one, I think oilers country starts to panic, I mean they are already spreading copium and false narrtives on their board to give fans there hope, example below

 

[I am toxic]

SO HOT HERE TODAY

LETS GET NAKED

I thought we all always posted that way?

Am I wrong?

That's funny because I thought that their arena was an absolute morgue in the bits of the LA series I watched. Absolutely nothing like the atmosphere we've got going.

We've called this dogshit ref out multiple times this season and jokingly stated "well there goes the game", only to see it actually happen. You cannot make up 0-7-1 in the last 8 games reffed by this clown when the team itself is in the upper echelon of the league.


Should also be noted that I believe Eric Furlatt was the ref for that game against Winnipeg where Juulsen's decline started showing (amidst a bunch of terrible calls).
