GDT: WCSF GM06 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Sat. May 18th | 5pm PST | SNP/CBC | Finish Them

Hughes is being overused at the point, they know he is not shooting

 

[Flik]

f***, man, its a good thing this team never gives up because we weirdly find ourselves in situations that require us to not quit very often!

 

[Leif Rohlin]

That might've been the worst period we've played in the entire playoffs. With a chance to eliminate a team I can't even fathom that kind of effort.

We were actually worse in Game 4 against Nashville... and somehow won.

This is an Oilers team facing elimination though.

 

[kanucks25]

What? The Canucks were easily the better team in Game 5, they just aren't carrying it through to this game.

Nowhere did I say the Canucks weren't the better team. My point is we were not actually good, we were only good relative to the Oilers who were complete shit.

There's a major difference. In this game the Oilers aren't complete shit and we're back to looking like said shit.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

how can our go to play on a 5-on-3 be a shot from far?

whats the point of even have 2 extra players?

Simply not enough movement to free up passing lanes. 4 Canucks were just standing around while one player handled the puck. PP coach should be fired for such a boring easy to read pp.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Stating the obvious but that 5-3 was a need to score time...have to do something seems guys just don't have the jump tonight or is it me

 

[EpochLink]

I blew off the gym and tons of alcohol today.
Son of a bitch this f***ing team, tie this game

 

[Tact]

I agree Hronek should have been on the 5on3 there. Should have set him up for the one timer

 

[Petey O]

Embarrassing. Who woulda thought the terrible power play down the stretch wouldn’t just magically become better. This team is pissing away wins with this awful powerplay. They really need to invest in a good powerplay coach this off-season

A powerplay coach isn’t going to fix non-chalant dicking around on the powerplay. How this team can suddenly go from moving the puck quickly on the powerplay at the beginning of the season to this slow, hesitant scared crap points toward just pure player complacency.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Don';t get me wrong, the Canucks deserve all the criticism in the world for their performance, but despite the score, and shot count, they're actually only being slightly outplayed by the Oilers in Expected goals. If the Canucks play like they did in the first, and the Oilers don't play like the way they did in the 2nd, I can actually see Canucks tying it.

 

[Tonystretcher]

Embarrassing effort in an elimination game. This game has been gift wrapped for them and they no show. Just nothing from the big boys tonight

What a weird ass take

It's not too late to crack a beer!

 

[mossey3535]

I agree with this actually. I don't know why they don't try that look more often.

Ain't gonna matter tonight though, we're done.

Hughes not doing a lot on our PP's recently.

Hughes is being overused at the point, they know he is not shooting

He's not making good decisions generally. He did almost get that goal that skinner made a great save on but that has been few and far between.

Like basically he either skates into the corner and dishes or he tries to force it through from the top. Just watch him next time, it's extremely predictable.

 

[PG Canuck]

Weirdly I feel confident trailing in the 3rd against this Oilers team.

But man what a shit period.

Not wrong but without getting anything on net, it’s going to be an easy game for anyone in net. Not much urgency on that 5 on 3 kinda tells me the story of this game.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

If we wind up losing this series, the powerplay will be among the top lists of our failures. Just unacceptable to be this bad

I look at our roster and often wonder how it looks this bad.

Some loser takes in this thread. Just saying

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

The complete no show is pathetic.

Tocchet should have had them ready to play.

Instead they’ve shat their pants.

 

[Zippgunn]

That Bouchard goal was unscreened and not tipped. Has to be stopped.

Off the post and in, meh. Demko gives those up too you know.

 

[bbud]

Do what canucks do win the 3rd
F..k the refs and win this boys

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I'd feel better about our chances if we had about 10 more shots.

 

[LazyD]

That Boeser dive was embarrassing that they just showed lol.

 

[I am toxic]

We literally have a guy name Pew Pew Pew. get after it.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Canucks will tie it up

Absolutely disagree. The Canucks were outstanding defensively.

Win da third

 

[kanucks25]

What a weird ass take

What's weird about it? Just because a team wins doesn't mean they were playing well.

That's not new to hockey.
