Dam a lot of edmonton fans out after a win, where were they after the loss?

You do realize you are saying that the Oilers fans don't whine as much as the Canucks fans after a loss, do you?

We knew Sutherland would do exactly what he did, long before the puck dropped.

Good to see Tocchet handle it so well, no wonder he is a lock for the Jack Adams:


No need to even mention the McDavid high stick on Hughes. Sadly, that stain will stick with McDavid for the rest of his career. Anyway, it's understandable why other teams are envious of the 'nucks coaching situation, where the team can also ice a shadow PK of Henrik, Tocchet, Foote and Gonchar. And did I mention Ian Clark. Oh, I just did.

Envy. It can lead to harsh words, so we shouldn't be surprised.

Too bad for that shadow PK, the Oilers have a shadow PP of Gretzky, Kurri, Messier, Tikkanen and Coffey. Did I mention Canucks legend Messier… oh, I just did.

… and that stain on McDavids stick was wiped away when he went blocker side on that breakaway to tie the game.

Good article by Spec. Canucks fans have a weird fetish with complaining about refs. Their fanbase is stuck on celebrating coming in seclnd in 1994 and 2011.

Calm down, there is no refs' conspiracy favouring Oilers over Canucks

In hockey, they say that if you arrive at the rink wondering about the officiating, you are halfway to being beaten. But is the officiating the real issue between the Oilers and Canucks? Mark Spector has some thoughts.

Ah yes the unbiased Pulitzer Prize winning calibre Mark Spector……….maybe Gene Principe can add some additional intellectual insight in to the matter…….what a crew!

Nice way of pointing out what he is wrong about.

If that's the worst you can say about that article, then, no comment

That would be like critiquing the clowns at the circus…..what’s the point…..

 

[I am toxic]

Maybe the shadow PK should replace the actual PK. Unless they coaching that 50% is a win.

That's . . harsh.

 

[JianYang]

Is there any report on demko? I've been hearing game 5 from some people but I have not heard from insiders or anything.

He's a silly man but the fact is that the Canucks organization memorialized crying to the refs with a statue. That is such a f***ed up thing to do.

 

[snipes]

Should be rocking loud tonight.

Expecting this to be another hard fought game.

Probably a quarter of the posts in this thread consists of nucks fans whinning about the resfs, yet someone who says that nucks fans complain about the refs is a clown... I see

They are keeping things pretty quiet-skating but not taking shots/game movement was the last I heard but things could have improved since then

Spec is garbage, but broken clocks and blind squirrels.

Not sure why you’d take a shot at Principe, though. He’s the broadcast host, and he gets paid to be a bit of a goof. I doubt you have an adequate frame of reference to comment on his intellect. If you catch him away from Sportsnet, he’s a pretty reasoned guy.

That part was a bit of a joke……I realize he is unapologetically playing a character ………Spector is a whole different matter…..

Do Oilers fans claim Ryan Whitney as their own? Guys a hack.
Reminds me of the obnoxious frat boy who is just there, didn't do jack shit but got an A on the group project. Man hasn't learned maturity since he left the NHL.

Not to mention he very publicly bailed on the team a third of the way into the season.

And for the benefit of those who don’t follow him regularly, Spector isn’t an Oilers homer. He’s a pay-per-click troll who knows he’ll get engagement with articles like this, just like he does when he trashes the Oilers.

In both cases, there is probably some truth, but it’s sensationalized within an inch of its life.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Expecting McDavid and Draisaitl to play 55mins!

 

[thebigbea]

Wonder if Sutherland is in game 3? Gonna make my bet in . Canucks are 0-9 when he’s in

I don’t think so(?), but I try to avoid any Barstool-adjacent commentary.

He could’ve been a special player, though, if not for the Foppa foot.

Response to Spector:

The Vancouver Canucks are zero wins in eight playoffs games all time in which Kelly Sutherland is an official: 0 for 8.

The probability of this happening by chance is approaching that of the Oilers winning the draft lottery in three consecutive years (2012, 2011 and 2010) and then again in 2015.

The probability of this happening by chance is approaching that of Spector understanding statistics.

Edmonton media call it like it is. They are either hated for it or loved for it. Every single Canucks crew, heck even Hockey night in punjabi- which is technically supposed to be neutral are all homering out for Vancouver. Canuck fans also crying about why they don't have more of "their" guys on broadcast networks. They are littered with them. If this keeps on going, Can't wait for the Oilers to put an end to this clownshow. Victim complex. Cringe cousin disease.

Waving the white towel is so fitting for Vancouver media. Crying foul acting like victims of conspiracy theories against them. Oilers really should be up 2-0 in this series. Unfortunately goaltending has let them down. If the goaltending is even average this series is over quick.

 

[PavelBure10]

This series has been damn exciting. The Oilers and Canucks are very evenly matched teams. So stoked about this game tonight.

False, this is a 1-1 series any way you look at it

Whitney is a bum. Dude has jumped on and off the wagon how many times now? Sounds more like a lower mainland Canucks fan to me

Edmonton media sucks the arsehole of management, so I don't know what you're talking about. None of them have the balls to call it like they see it.

If this is sarcasm, well done.

Oilers didn't win the lottery in 2011. Not trying to detract from your point, Spector is a cockroach.
