Zadorov not doing much

Still trying to find a helmet that fits his fat melon

 

[MoontoScott]

McLeod goes into that scrum and......skates away. Man he's tough and made for the playoffs!

He's just stone cold now.

 

[DrDrai]

This team needs to cut out the 5-10 minute lulls. It absolutely is going to cost them this game if they keep doing that.

Getting pinned in one shift is one thing, getting dominated for 5 minutes isn’t a good habit.

 

[thadd]

Connor Brown... holy cow that 2nd goal got my heart rate going!!!!

 

[TheNumber4]

They are really gambling with cross ice passes on the blue line. The middle of the ice is wide open. A fast player picking off a puck can make an odd man rush pretty quick

Yeh I’d agree. They are defineltu pushing to do more, and that’s straying from their system.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

All Oiler pivots are below 50% in face-off dot. Draisaitl and McDavid both at 42.9%. That's not going to cut it. They need to start with puck possession. Hurt them on the PP which was ineffective. And a recipe for problems in own end defending. Canucks momentum surge came out of neutralizing a dozy power play.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Depth goals are sexy

 

[T-Funk]

McLeod has no interest in getting involved in anything that might get physical.

Gotta be coached into it or learn it from the veterans. Problem is the vets don't really want to do it either.

 

[Sanchez]

f*** off Friedman

 

[Messrules11]

McLeod is useless, been saying this all along

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

The Canucks are playing ultra aggressive, the Oilers are going to have more odd man breaks if that continues. Pickard is scaring me this game, he looks shaky.

A good team will take advantage.

 

[oobga]

Big test for the team now. Can't expect many more PP's, if any. Gotta keep pushing 5v5 and find some way to build a cushion.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

He's just stone cold now.

ngl I would take Stone Cold Steve Austin in his spot after that period.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Don't listen to the Sportsnet/CBC clowns. Do yourself a favor and post, not watch.

 

[oil Leaks]

Should look to trading McLeod before he has zero value

 

[DrDrai]

They also need to get it out of their head that Seivelov is something special and take the shots that are given to you, they have turned down several high quality shots for a garbage pass that amounts to nothing.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Reading the mains I feel like a lot of Canucks fans just started watching hockey this year.

 

[TB12]

f*** off Friedman

Not even listening, but I concur wholeheartedly.

 

[TheNumber4]

Connor Brown is going to be an impact playoff player for us moving forward. Started last game. He’s just getting started now.

 

[Drivesaitl]

The Oilers sure can be frustrating at times. Pick this one game where we get 3 PP's in one period to have the absolute worst looking PP we've had all of 2024.

FFS all the players on the topline are looking off tonight whether its their PP or first line duty. Botching plays all over.

Drai line is our best line again tonight by miles.

Time for the Mcd line to f***ing show up in this series. Only time McD has been feeling it is with Drai. Conversely Drai with Kane and a rookie working some magic on several shifts.

Word for the first line is STOP trying to pass through everbody and take the f***ing shot. Been saying this every game.

 

[Fishy McScales]

Still trying to find a helmet that fits his fat melon

He can borrow Petey's. That thing is huge.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

When the hell did we get so bad at face offs?

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Don't listen to the Sportsnet/CBC clowns. Do yourself a favor and post, not watch.

Them not having Bieksa tonight really makes the broadcast boing as f***.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

2nd and 4th lines had great periods, Nurse and Desharnais were good as well. Ekholm was solid and the top line had some good moments.

More from the top line and Bouchard, and they'll be really cooking

 

[aspin3]

Interesting how no comments about the goal against pickard, wrist shit from way out that he saw all the way.....not to mention the crossbar that hit him and thebine Vinny saved.

If that was Skinner there would be 50 posts about him
