GDT: WCSF | VI | "Because It's The Cusp" | Oilers vs. Canucks | 5.18.24 | 6:00PM | SN/CBC

[Dust]

Almost feels like a reverse of game 5. Canucks with a couple of powerplays and they end up shifting momentum in the Oilers after good kills.

 

[JKG33]

They are gonna get smoked by Dallas.

It's unfortunate we have to waste 2 weeks before the Dallas/Florida SCF

One of those other series played their game three the night of this one's game 1... Maybe your team shoulda stuck around longer.

True, I just hope it isn't the only one that goes 7

 

[Three On Zero]

Hyman flopping

 

[Wildcarder]

Canucks PP vs the Edmonton PP is just night and day. Canucks have been so bad in getting zone entries.

I still think Edmonton/McDavid will win the cup in only a matter of time. I said after last playoffs sometime in the next 3 years. So there’s still 2 more to see if I’m right if they don’t do it this year. It’ll probably happen in a year where McDavid scores more than 2 goals in 11 playoff games.

But Holland being outta there hopefully helps. Guy is the most overachieving GM of all time I think. He wasn’t a bad GM (he certainly is now) in his career, but he wasn’t a legend either. He inherited the stacked Wings borderline dynasty straight off a cup from Jim Devallano. I give him credit for the 08 cup team and part of the 02 team, but he got more accolades in his career than he should have.

I think they are cooked unless they get it done next year but they have no cap, a crappy defense, and bad goalies. Too much to fix in the year they have left with Draisaitl’s contract

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Skinner was flopping because the EDM PK let Vancouver tic tac toe one-touch the puck through royal road 3 times in span of a couple seconds

Lucky to survive that

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

"McDavid's had so much jump so far this game."

More rimjobbing "how fortunate are you to have these 2 players on your team?"

This is tiring.

E: Lindholm apparently is "finding his game" still.

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

How dare you shitting on our pile of shit..

Well at least you’re self aware I suppose.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Oilers playing physical push back for once

 

[robertocarlos]

Whiffsaitl

He has a 3 handicap.

One other thing

My declaration that they’d win one of the next 3 cups was also contingent on them keeping both of those guys.

If one or both are gone then all bets are off.

 

[Three On Zero]

Could you not leave Draisaitl open like they? Thanks

Eh can't say I agree with this at all. Oilers are just very poorly built...they make it to the 2nd round / WCF because they have the best player in the world and potentially the 2nd best player but their supporting cast, coaching and management has always been trash. I don't think they will...I do think McDavid may with another team.

 

[Czechboy]

That is our rookie smoking your Norris Dman....

I only point it out because when Bouch gets beat, threads are started on the mains.lol

 

[jackjohnson]

Not sure what Petersson was thinking by shooting it wide from the goal line

 

[RedRocking]

Cup or Bust, Leon. Come on now.

 

[trilobyte]

Tough time to fan on your shot

 

[JAK]

Hyman : fans on the glorious opportunity
Simpson : great play by the Oilers

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Draisaitl gonna win this game singlehandedly

Eh, Hronek looks worse in that. Hughes poked the puck forward for Holloway

 

[bambamcam4ever]

McDavid has piss poor supporting cast. Put him on Vegas, Dallas, Rangers, Tampa....any team that has intelligent upper management you'll see how good he really is.

Yes, any team with a $100M salary cap will look good

you got it all figured out bud

 

[kingsfan28]

Weekes and Buccigross aren't a good combo calling the game.

I definitely think he’s winning a cup at some point.

Even if it isn’t here. I do think they can still do it here in the next 3 years (between this year and 2026) if they keep both guys.

If one or both guys are gone then blow it up.

Things should be better with Kenny outta power.
