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

[Blue and Green]

Team has been relying on Boeser-Miller-Suter to really drive things. Notwithstanding Boeser's deflection goal, that hasn't happened tonight. They're getting crushed.

 

[Petey O]

Those final minutes of the third were worrying as hell. That was what most people thought would happen all series. Weather the storm and steal this one.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Mikheyev will score the OT winner.

In other words, Nucks are losing this game

I’m convinced this guy is never going to score again.

Like, he’ll have a breakaway on an empty net and the sun will explode.

Jesus

Yeah that matches the eye test, they have absolute shit kicked the Canucks tonight while on the ice.

 

[Quinning]

Worst period of the playoffs. They are playing like they are terrified of taking a penalty.

Because they have to be. Oilers are scoring at a 50% rate

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Brock Boeser

 

[TruKnyte]

I’m convinced this guy is never going to score again.

Like, he’ll have a breakaway on an empty net and the sun will explode.

Or the power goes out and they blow the whistle

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Edmonton will probably control the play in OT and generate more high danger scoring chances.

If the Canucks do score then it will probably come against the grain on a broken play.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Worst period of the playoffs. They are playing like they are terrified of taking a penalty.

They are and it needs to stop. We can't let the Oilers' powerplay get in our heads.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Those Oiler fans look way to happy, Canucks break there hearts and send them home miserable.

 

[Rotang]

Against my better judgement, going with Hoglander to win it.

 

[Jovofan]

Joshua with the winner.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Elliot picks McDavid n Hughes

 

[Peen]

His professed offensive upside got totally debunked in the second half of the season and playoffs.

Still a decent passer and skater, but not notably creative or dynamic. Hard to argue he's worth more than a second pairing salary right now.

The Gillis era where every D made about 4.5.. that cap percentage would equal around 6.5 now.

Which is rumoured to be what Allvin offered him and firmly said was a fair offer.

 

[EpochLink]

Time to score

 

[ziploc]

Those Oiler fans look way to happy, Canucks break there hearts and send them home miserable.

This is the way.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Against my better judgement, going with Hoglander to win it.

I am not sure he sees the ice tbh.

 

[Vancouver_2010]

Miller for me, Lindholm maybe. No Oilers because they suck

 

[Peen]

I am not sure he sees the ice tbh.

Honestly think that trio is our best bet to score in ot

 

[ahmon]

I just don't see the same chemistry on the 3rd line when its Lindholm centering Garland/Joshua.

 

[Ninebreaker]

Garland

 

[Ozone]

Good luck, everyone. See you on the other side.

Brown trousers time!

 

[StickShift]

Drai is injured, and they constantly give him time and space. The only way he can do anything is from a stand still. Should be an absolute no brainer to pressure him non stop, he's hobbled and slow.

Part of the strategy of putting him with McDavid is that the Canucks have to focus so much time and space on McDavid—which in turn gives Draisaitl space. Speculated that this is what they might try and do.

 

[Jay26]

That intermission felt like it went by too fast. I need more time lol.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Hoglander is my pick for the game winner.
