GDT: WCSF GM 4 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Tue, May 14 | 6:30PM PST | SPAC | Thunderdome!

No more cheapie goals for us

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I honestly have a bad feeling about Pickard. If he's even a bit better than Skinner, Canucks might be screwed

Skinner put up the worst stats of any playoff goaltender in 30 years, so it's hard to be worse than that.

 

[Petey O]

Bring out lotto line in period 2?

Tocchet said he doesn’t like using it other than for key offensive draws and such.

 

[Shareefruck]

What would you do? That fourth line looks fine.

Mikheyev - Pettersson - Karlsson is a notable upgrade. And Lafferty fits that fourth line better anyways.

 

[logan5]

Karlsson-Pettersson-Mikheyev. Pettersson playing with an AHL'r and the other guy speaks for itself.

This is basically an elimination game for Edmonton. And ppl here think we are just going to have no problem with them in their barn? Edm came out electric and we had to weather it.

But hey lets hear all those lame hockey cliches about "bearing down" on the powerplay bruh

 

[crazychimp]

Bring out lotto line in period 2?

They should be doing that in the final minutes of every period I don’t know why not.

 

[potatowejj]

This could so easily be 3-0 Oilers, and over tonight.

They should have won Game 1 but Skinner shit his pants.

They won Game 2.

They should have won Game 3 but Skinner shit his pants.

And they're winning tonight. We don't have an answer for their top line, and our best players are clearly injured.

Canucks were generally the better team in Games 1 and 2.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

We're leading the series 2-1. Already stole back home ice advantage and down 1 goal with 40 to go.

If y'all jumped everytime we lose the lead there wouldn't be many of us left around here to see us lift the cup lol!

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

I think all the hard defending has taken a toll on this group. Players look farigued and their feet and hands are suffering. Hopefully they can dig deep and find a way to get some sustained pressure in the offensive zone ave test Pickard. Just need to steal this one.

I mean, it's one thing to have the opposition come out hard. It's another thing entirely to just let them and use the PP to try and kill the clock when you're down one.

There not getting caved in enough for your liking?

We f***ing got this Baby P

 

[Slapshot_11]

They should be doing that in the final minutes of every period I don’t know why not.

Because they are terrible defensively

 

[Jay26]

Karlsson-Pettersson-Mikheyev. Pettersson playing with an AHL'r and the other guy speaks for itself.

Can't we judge Pettersson on his own?? We can consider his linemates when it comes to production alone but nobody's even talking about the production. They're talking about how he looks out there on the ice. That's not on his linemates!

 

[SillyRabbit]

Not buying the Pettersson is injured excuse.

And I was making all kinds of excuses for him earlier in the season, I truly did believe he was injured.

Not anymore.

He's played every single game this season.

Rick Tocchet is a straight shooter, he's the type to say if someone is hurt.

6 days ago: Canucks vs. Oilers: Rick Tocchet insists Elias Pettersson isn't injured

The team isn’t using illness to cover for another injury to Pettersson, he said.

“We don’t lie here,” he said, with emphasis.

Unprompted, Tocchet said he’s aware that there’s been speculation about whether Pettersson is carrying some sort of injury, perhaps to his back or his wrist. But he moved to quash that speculation.

“He’s just a little sick,” he said.

Pettersson, for his part, said he’s feeling fine.

Blowing 6 mins of PP time isn’t weathering anything

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Hoglander has been awful in the playoffs, i was suprised. He couldnt do anything, his game changed while the game changed. Maybe a couple a games off and he will be back, i hope to hell, but so far he looked a step behind

Hog deserves another chance and I wouldn't say he's been awful this series. His analytic numbers are all very good this series. You can't honestly tell me that Karlsson, Aman, Lafferty are better options.

 

[Brookbank]

Been outplayed every game

Extremely likely we lose in 6

Bullsh** we have.

Anyway Im out. The amount of crying going on here is too much

 

[M2Beezy]

Maybe its the Havana Club talking, but

Man I love this team

 

[MS]

When are we going to remove the kids gloves with ep40?

Because this is f***ing unacceptable

He’s gotta come off PP1.

Just a massive net negative there.

Compete level looks like preseason.

 

[Flik]

Silovs is f***ing legit tho, love this kid.

I would be more confident had they pressured in that period and looked hungrier on that 4 minute powerplay.

Instead, we have Filip f***in Hronek going 1 on 4, Pettersson falling down, Hughes bobbling the puck, Miller turning it over down low and Boeser getting boxed out.

They were not ready to play tonight and it shows.

Need to up the tempo in the 2nd. Game still 100% up for grabs, but need to be sharper when we have the puck.
