[KarmaPolice]

No way. McDavid and Hyman are horrible tonight.

McDavid has been awful, but we know he can turn it on after being brutal for a period.

 

[McTedi]

It’s really over the top tonight. Virtually every feature is focused on the nucks with a side of what thy need to do to win (and, oh yeah, commiserating with Van coaches about the penalties)

Yah agreed, the Oilers don't deserve much praise but the nuck love fest is gross. Just beat these f***ers and then I'm sure these guys will just stare blankly at each other for 10 mins.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Deserve to win O-Meter currently has Canucks at 81 percent and Oilers at 19.

Sigh.

Fear not the Canucks have been on th otherside and won 2/3 games it’s our turn

Deserve to win O-Meter currently has Canucks at 81 percent and Oilers at 19.

Sigh.

We need a steal. Needed one in LA too. We can do it though, tie game going into the 3rd.

 

[oil Leaks]

Win the period. Lets GO OILERS

 

[foshizzle]

Rob Brown with an excellent point on Ched. He said he doesn’t understand why the Oilers aren’t dumping it in and forcing these big slow defensemen to turn around and chase it into the corner. Instead, they are trying to beat these d men who have long reach at the blue line.

 

[Drivesaitl]

McDavid has been awful, but we know he can turn it on after being brutal for a period.

Mc'd has been brutal for 3 of the games in this series and two in a row.

 

[CycloneSweep]

McDavid has been awful, but we know he can turn it on after being brutal for a period.

Then he can prove it with whatever on his line. Don’t potentially drag Drai down like that.

Cause they aren’t well coached.

 

[Ibanez]

Tocheet would yell at the cashier and call the manager over a grape falling out of the bag

f***ing Karen...

Know what's funny?

I just realized if Bieksa was there it would be much better

Sure saying something as he's an original Canuck

 

[snipes]

Just win baby.

 

[iCanada]

Just to really hammer home the Sportsnet bias - they didn't even talk about the too many men on the Canucks before the DiGussepe goal.

Literally Joshua started going to the box on his own and stopped playing before the linesman pushed him off the ice.

 

[McTedi]

Mc'd has been brutal for 3 of the games in this series and two in a row.

Not great but brutal might be a tad harsh. I'll give you brutal by his standard.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Can’t be much worse than the second period they just played… need our best players to take over. Maybe overload Connor and Leon and have them play most of the period again.

Pretty much have to. Its the only time McD is going when he's with Drai. Otherwise McD is doing nothing out there.

Exactly what we did on the Kane forecheck turned Bouch game winner. Force these Nucks D to make mistakes.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Nucks getting at least two PP in the third.

That does make sense, although I recall us dumping pucks early in the series and it mostly amounted to a giveaway. They managed to move the puck the other way quick

 

[Ritchie Valens]

But they've looked good most of the rest of the playoffs

So what gives?

I dunno man. Nerves? Panicked? These f***ing Canucks have no battery, they just run off straight electricity and it’s like they have an endless supply of energy.

 

[Oilking83]

I mean, they can absolutely be worse and we have seen them do it. Lol

I suppose but man that period was shit. I suspect they’ll be better.

This team hates giving up posession. They need to simplify their game in the 3rd and do as Brown suggested since whatever they're doing is not working tonight.

 

[frag2]

Nucks getting at least two PP in the third.

We’ve hit our quota. They just getting started

 

[Morpheus]

OK

Time to activate McDavid beast mode please

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Tied going into the 3rd on the road. I'll take it.

They have the ability to show more, and I'm expecting a strong finish.

 

[Oilhawks]

I dunno man. Nerves? Panicked? These f***ing Canucks have no battery, they just run off straight electricity and it’s like they have an endless supply of energy.

Feels like that's a coaching / leadership thing, I dunno. They have to come out with some energy this period

If the Oilers win, they can f*** right off when they jump on the yay Canada bandwagon. Know if the Canucks win, I'll be off it.
