GDT: WCSF GM05 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Thur. May 16th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | So Tight, Almost Like a Playoff Series

[Zanon]

Best of 3. Home-ice advantage. The benefit of winning the division. Let’s go!

 

[MunKay]

Ended up buying tickets for tonight after trying to convince myself not to spend the money. F**K IT, LET’S GO BOOOOOOYS!

When you check how much time is left after 3 hours and only 1 hour has passed

your job is to get the Petey chant going!

 

[MS]

It was also fine in R1.

Ehhhhhhhh ... there was a ton of game management in Nashville's favour in 3rd periods of that series that wasn't reciprocated our way in the same situations.

 

[Diversification]

Holy I've been on a plane all day and the man actually did it. Very interested to see how the lines work out. Petey getting to play with Lindholm should be a huge boon for him - at least one guy will be in the right position at the right time and able to get him the puck. Blueger probably the guy on the 4th line who deserves to move up the most.

...

Provided Petey can resist the urge to run the same center routes as Lindholm like they were earlier, this could work out...

I was busy enough at work earlier in the day that I didn’t have time to think about this game, but now that’s it’s 4 PM, I have to slog out another hour in the office (when I’m already burnt out), then be in traffic for an hour… and then an ANOTHER hour until the game starts? Ugh

One thing about away games I like is that the games start earlier lol

 

[EpochLink]

I'll be at work for this one but I'm following it on my phone/radio in office.

I skipped my gym for the rest of the week, lets go.

 

[arttk]

remember the butter soft penalty that lead to the 6 on 4 when we were trying to clinch?

 

[David71]

lay the biggest hit on ekholm and knock him out of the series. hes playing hurt obviously. leon hopefully the D step up when he has the puck. petey should go off tonight. im feeling a 5-3 win. 5th goal being an empty netter. bluger will pot one as well.

Ok this is good. Tocchet can always pivot back to;

Joshua - Lindholm - Garland
Hoglander - Pettersson - Podkolzin

Bring Blueger back to 4th line.

If he needs to during the game. Perhaps might be better if Podkolzin starts on the 4th line to get his feet wet. The boy better bring energy and hitting to get the fans riled up early.

LFG and win tonight

Lafferty and Mikheyev definitely need a “reset”. Haven’t really provided much other than being defensively responsible. While that is important, we really need depth to beat Edmonton.

We can’t have Miller, Boeser, Joshua, Garland, Lindholm always scoring. We need a 3rd or 4th line goal and the boys will be inspired.

one of hogs/pods/blueger getting a goal. hronek should have sat out as well. might as well put mark friedman in.

 

[Zippgunn]

The constant icing under minimal to no pressure this series has been extremely frustrating to watch.

That and the complete inability to put 2 passes together.

 

[SoggyBobcat]

The Vancouver Canucks are winning this hockey game.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

A walk around the seawall worked for Luongo in Game 5. Let's see what a scooter ride on the Burrard Bridge does.

 

[potatowejj]

Excited to see that third line reunited. They were such a force before Joshua went down, an X factor in many games.

 

[Shareefruck]

Like the personnel changes, but don't love Aman as the 4C and breaking up the third line at this point.

Would prefer:

Suter - Miller - Boeser
Joshua - Lindholm - Garland
Hoglander - Pettersson - Podkolzin
Di Giuseppe - Blueger - Aman/Lafferty

or

Lindholm - Miller - Boeser
Joshua - Blueger - Garland
Hoglander - Pettersson - Podkolzin
Di Giuseppe - Suter - Aman/Lafferty

I'm not as down on Pettersson as some, but bending over backwards to get him going is a recipe for disaster, IMO (I don't think they should be using the Lotto line anymore as well).

 

[LordBacon]

omg the lines are actually perfect.

No you are perfect bro

 

[Peen]

remember the butter soft penalty that lead to the 6 on 4 when we were trying to clinch?

i do remember saying specifically that the officiating was fine outside of that call after that game… everyone knows what THAT call was ha

 

[Rowlet]

just win please

 

[Paulinbc]

Checkin in from the Loops. Just sat down and started the Hurricanes game. Go Nucks!! My survivor pick for today. Feeling really good about this...

 

[dez]

Can’t even go for a scooter ride without someone stopping on a bridge to take a picture of you. Enjoy the next 9 years Petey.

I mean they also had like double amount of PP or how many minutes more? A lot of subtle non calls.

we weren’t disciplined with our sticks at all. sometimes one team just takes more penalties. you cant call it 50/50 if it’s 60/40

 

[Paulinbc]

Do we think Petey's stick is going to back up his mouth today?

 

[EpochLink]

Support your fellow players, us fans can do the same.
That's all we got.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

LET’S GO PETEY

Do we think Petey's stick is going to back up his mouth today?

Ofc

Only positive vibe here
