GDT: WCSF GM07 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Mon. May 20th | 6pm PST | SNP/CBC | Just Win, Baby

[Jovofan]

Damn, ignoring the issue of Brock missing a single game (no matter how important) I really wish him well on his longterm recovery and hope to see him back for us next season. Just seeing something like "blood clotting issue" is scary, this isn't just a knee strain or back spasms where you know the guy will be 100% after some time.

 

[Quinning]

Yeah boys...if Boeser's out for the year, it's not our year.

Just enjoy this for what it's been and hope for the best.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Brock out is a problem with very few of the other forwards providing much.

Not liking the odds now, they need some guys to step up.

 

[EpochLink]

The new battle cry: Win it for Brock

 

[Flik]

f*** man, what a complete bummer for Brock. He's completely turned around his game and was one of our MVPs in the entire playoffs.

I still think we can gut out a few more wins, and can win tomorrow if we get a few breaks, but going further than the WCF seems even more unlikely with Brock out for the rest of the season.

That all being said, I want us to kick Edmonton's ass tomorrow because beating this CUP OR BUST team with Brock and Demko out would just be glorious.

 

[LordBacon]

Boeser is quite literally our playoffs mvp.
This f***ing sucks, bois would wish they ended it last game, now Edmonton has the advantage with both Demko and Boeser out.

I hope he recovers soon.

 

[crazychimp]

Regardless this team is still very capable of pulling out a win with our best forward and goalie out in this round.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Hope Brock gets well soon

 

[Jyrki21]

Every good Canuck piece of news is always balanced by something terrible.

Brock had a great season, so there had to be hell to pay.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Who replaces Boeser on the PP? Garland?

What are everyone’s thoughts of giving Zadarov a look on PP 1 - Maybe his big shot can be an asset?

Been wanting this for a while now. I'd almost be tempted to bench Hughes but there's no chance that happens.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

$100 bet?

Oh lawd I promised myself no gambling this year but it's so tempting haha!

 

[StickShift]

Devastated for Boeser. He was having a terrific season. Very glad that the detected and diagnosed the issue now rather than a more serious outcome. Hockey is 2nd in this scenario.

Also, that ‘Alberta Memes’ Facebook page can go kick rocks. f***ing trash ass people post on that page.

 

[Javaman]

On the other hand, this is an opportunity for legendary things.

Boeser is quite literally our playoffs mvp.
This f***ing sucks, bois would wish they ended it last game, now Edmonton has the advantage with both Demko and Boeser out.

I hope he recovers soon.

Regardless this team is still very capable of pulling out a win with our best forward and goalie out in this round.

I'm gonna dwell in the realm of optimism on this one. Strictly for the sake of my mental health.

 

[ghostingtaro]

i expect us to be packing our bags tomorrow with boeser out, going to keep my expectations low

if we do win tomorrow that would be fantastic too

Bunch of inbred f***ing yokels.

The good thing about this team is that Tocchet has trained all forwards to be defensively stout so the only thing is they need to be opportunistic on offensive chances. Which obviously is harder without Boeser. I think they come out flying tomorrow.

Also, didn't the news article say potentially out?

 

[God]

Hard to believe I'm this despondant about Boeser being out for the playoffs after regularly criticizing his play down the stretch. He's completely turned it around and this explains his poor game last night.

This blows. Ugh. We legitimately have one of our best seasons on the line without one of our best forwards and our #1 goalie... and one of our star players is depressed again.

Irfaan tweeted if they advance his status is unclear, but he’s for sure out for tomorrow’s game.

 

[Leif Rohlin]

Just enjoy this for what it's been and hope for the best.

Yep.

I still want to win tomorrow because we just have to beat the f***ing Oilers. But if we lose, at least it'll be sorta fun watching Tanev and the Stars destroy them in the next round.

Dallas-NYR SCF should be a good one.

Odd.

 

[Quinning]

I'm gonna dwell in the realm of optimism on this one. Strictly for the sake of my mental health.

Healthiest thing to do is not get fully attached to the outcome. For some of us (myself included) life is pretty f***ing hard right now, and this run has given us something to be happy about lately.

Just remember to enjoy it for what it is, cherish the amazing experience this has been, and take care of yourself. The team won't love you back.

 

[crazychimp]

Odd.

It really depends on the severity of it which we don’t know yet but from what I’m reading about blood clots this is a weeks to months type of deal unfortunately.

 

[Sedinery]

So here we are, game 7

Demko out, Boeser out. Looking grim. This is where losers fold and winners dig in and find a way.

The Oiler fans have been saying horrible things about Brock and his dad. Mark my words, karma will haunt them.

Be winners boys, dig in and be heros
