WCSF GM05 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Thur. May 16th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | So Tight, Almost Like a Playoff Series

Is that Draisaitl coasting in at the back?

 

[22Brad Park]

The Canucks obviously watched tapes on the PK. Them attacking is the only thing you can do defending against the Oilers PP. They were excellent tonight, 5 for 5 on the PK.

Yea you let them setup your cooked.Same think Bruins did wuth Florida last game too after getting cooked on it game b4

 

[oilers4life5]

All that matters is the fans got to see how bad McDivey is, and now understand why other Western teams complain about it.

All they got was a glimpse into the obstruction era. Horrid officiating.

 

[jackjohnson]

What year is it? I did not know we were back in the obstruction era. Pathetic reffing

Wow the audacity. You want 10 PP for oilers? How about all the holding by oilers players that went uncalled? Jesus christ

 

[Angry Little Elf]

I bet Gary rolls out either that ref who the nucks are 11-0-1 with or Kozari next game to mess with the Oilers. Book it.

McDavid : They got a good bounce, a lucky bounce. Totally not me not back checking.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

McDavid’s back check on the winning goal was typical hot garbage. He needs to get 30 less pts a season and start trying defense lmaoook

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

He's really not good. Failing to cover the post, letting rebounds shoot up the middle of the ice. I think his luck will run out if they stick with him.

Canucks would win like 7-2 if Skinner faced 32 shots lol

Is that Draisaitl coasting in at the back?

ooh it was! good catch!
I bet they really could have used another man defending in their own zone, too!

You don't have to tell me that, my team dropped him for 5-6 other shitters the past 2 years. I shit my pants when I saw he was starting a playoff game. But at the end of the day he made 32 saves on 35 shots, got the W last game, and Skinner has been brutal.

Honest interview from McD after the game. He’s impressed me with the media during this series

 

[oilers4life5]

He owes us after tonight.

That’s laughable

 

[PanniniClaus]

McDavid is doing fine post game.. I'd have a hell of a time having a microphone in my face after that loss.

The Canucks obviously watched tapes on the PK. Them attacking is the only thing you can do defending against the Oilers PP. They were excellent tonight, 5 for 5 on the PK.

It also tires EDM out so their top unit can't play the whole 2 minutes.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

McDavid is pretty honest in his post games. Crysaitl never stops moping though

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Canucks were on their backfoot to start, although they started to shift momentum as the game went on.

I think the officiating might've hurt the Oilers more than it did the Canucks (even though there were some absolutely horrendous calls that could've easily cost Vancouver), as a pretty clean third period was the result thanks to the NHL's Game Management (tm)

The only response Knoblach has, imo, is to go back to his star #1 and get Skinner back in there. Aheheheh.

Im surprised Tocchet waited till Game 5 before making the adjustment. Should have made it sooner but better late than never

 

[trilobyte]

Geiseppes interview.... Can totally feel for what he went through having gone through a high risk pregnancy with my wife. Totally bring humanity into it all watching that

watching that interview was a good reminder of what is under the helmet of the players we watch and cheer.

 

[PromisedLand]

McDavid needs to leave. No forward in this league can play 30 minutes each playoff game and be blamed for lack of defensive coverage.

McDavid hasn't done F-all even strength in the series much; heck entire oilers haven't. Nucks outshot and outhit oilers pretty badly tonight too

 

[Chairman Maouth]

ESPN knows hockey.

 

[RedRocking]

why do Crosby fans come out when McDavid (admittedly inevitably always) falters in the playoffs? the insecurity is insane lol

It’s like Matthews fans crashing the “is Ovi done?” threads, with certainty that AM will get 1000 goals.

 

[snag]

watching that interview was a good reminder of what is under the helmet of the players we watch and cheer.

Absolutely.

 

[ziploc]

Dallas not there yet either but smart money has to be on them

I'm hoping the Avs take it to 7, both 6 OT games.

 

[jackjohnson]

All they got was a glimpse into the obstruction era. Horrid officiating.

The divers lost, justice was served. Its called karma

 

[Bgav]

Everyone in here acting like there's a 30 point gap between Dallas/Colorado and these 2 teams. Dallas had a whopping 1 more regulation win than Edmonton. It'll be a competitive series regardless of who makes it out.

So why is he disrespecting van?
