GDT: WCSF GM02 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Fri. May 10th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | Don’t Change That Channel

[Jovofan]

Really thought Kelly was having an uncharacteristically great night (relative to his standards) after one but boy was I wrong.

He probably watched the film and realized he was off his game and needed to make adjustments.

 

[Flik]

The fact that both teams are complaining about the refs and going into this game we knew it was going to be horribly reffed makes you wonder why the heck these guys even get to ref in the first place. Making a joke of the game.

You'll never see it comingggggg

 

[Red]

Another thing I want to talk about:

Hyman boarded Hughes in Game 1
Nurse boarded Pettersson in Game 2

Those were both dangerous hits and neither of them were called.

I think a bigger deal needs to be made of those hits.

Dirty as f*** hits and the panel would be having a coronary if we had hit McBaby that way.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

“Where would they be without Ekholm” it would be 3-1 excellent analysis.

 

[VanillaCoke]

100% chance oilers have more pp in the third than van, not including the expiring one, and definitely one in the last ten mins. 100%

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Oilers will score on their powerplay here. Just need to outscore them at ES. Throw as many pucks Skinners way. He is having a hell of a time tracking pucks right now.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also Hrudy doing his best PPV Kirk McLean impersonation. Man needs to stop drinking between periods, holy moly.

I got to meet McLean at the alumni booth once, that guy would pound back 15 beers no sweat throughout the course of the game, it was wild. Looks much better now thank goodness.

I think Kirk has put those days behind him, thankfully. Seems much healthier now.

 

[Luongos Knob]

Just win da turd

A Sutherland classic

 

[bbud]

Oilers have to be one of the most unlikable teams in recent memory. Just whining and flopping around all over the ice

Worse watching refs buy it this league will end up never getting past wwe level under pay me to win buttman

 

[Ninebreaker]

Oilers been grabbing sticks all game

 

[StickShift]

McDavid already four minutes more of ice-time than any Canuck forward. Draisaitl right behind.

If the Canucks can win this game—it will be a great chance to take advantage of them draining their batteries.

Expect we will see a lot of Lindholm/Pettersson/Miller getting rolled 5v5 this period.

 

[LazyD]

No one talking about what Bieksa pointed out? We got lucky on that lol. Reffing has been god awful all around this game for both sides.

Sutherland should have been gone from this league ages ago

 

[Donuts]

Must win this game

Cant let this game getaway the way oilers whine, dive, and with all their cheap shots + obvious refs helping them out

 

[Flik]

Aight, lets do this again

 

[SiZ]

I hope all the refs look at this game, and see McDavid getting away with penalties and diving. If he's going to do that, then don't give him shit

 

[Britton]

Just need to keep this at 5v5, once again the Oilers are fading big time at 5v5 as the game goes on. They just ride there top guys too hard early and run out of steam at 5v5, and just feast on the Power play

 

[thecupismine]

I think Kirk has put those days behind him, thankfully. Seems much healthier now.

Absolutely, from what I heard the drinking was a response to something that happened in his personal life. Won't say anything further, but really really happy he was able to work through it - looks much, much healthier & happier now.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Pretty clear who the refs are favoring.

 

[JAK]

He probably watched the film and realized he was off his game and needed to make adjustments.

He sure did during the second period.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

A Sutherland classic

Oilers score 4 unanswered and go up 6-3 due to many powerplays going their way. Sutherland finally decides to penalize them with 2:12 remaiming in the third.

Expect we will see a lot of Lindholm/Pettersson/Miller getting rolled 5v5 this period.

He's on pace for almost 26 minutes and played 24 last game. I'd imagine at some point in the series fatigue will hit if it goes long.

 

[mathonwy]

Lets start the 3rd with a shorty

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Oilers score 4 unanswered and go up 6-3 due to many powerplays going their way. Sutherland finally decides to penalize them with 2:12 remaiming in the third.

Nightmare

 

[JAK]

Oilers score 4 unanswered and go up 6-3 due to many powerplays going their way. Sutherland finally decides to penalize them with 2:12 remaiming in the third.

Sutherland calls a record 8 penalties on the Oilers in the last 2 minutes of the game!
