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

[DarrenX]

Welp, that's enough for tonight.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I disagree with the EP bashing

There was a sequence where he was battling with two oilers along the board in the offensive zone and it took like 5 seconds before any of his linemate came to help him out

 

[Angry Little Elf]

If we get a quick goal in the third, i think we can pull it off

 

[potatowejj]

Man this team f***ing sucks right now.

 

[Kryten]

What we aren't talking about is WHY THE f*** IS JUULSEN OUT THERE IN THE LAST MINUTE. Scramble the pairs if you have to.

Very valid point

 

[aquaweenie]

f***UIJNG JUULSEN
I KNEW IT. f***inkg chasing the big hit and it cost us again.
STOP CHASING HITS. f*** YOU

He stood a guy up on the blue line when the forewards were acting like the 1980s oilers

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Need a big third period push here. Silovs is playing well enough to steal this for us and we’ve barely tested Pickard.

 

[TruKnyte]

Our line deployment has been pretty shit. I put that on the coaches

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

This team is being so damn frustrating right now. Where is their play from earlier in the season? Skating around with heads up their asses looking like a minor league team. f*** me

It’s game 4 while leading 2-1

Relax Jesus

 

[EpochLink]

Juulsen, that was terrible.
Stop chasing a bit hit.

 

[Jyrki21]

Came very close to protecting the 1-0 deficit.

 

[MikeK]

Anything is possible with Pickard in net. But the Canucks have to get it going. They've pretty much been out worked at every end of the ice.

 

[Bgav]

Gotta start sending a message for the next game

 

[Hansen]

More than anything too many lazy and desperate pucks chipped along the boards instead of tape to tape passes are whats killing us

 

[TruGr1t]

I disagree with the EP bashing

He has been a total zero offensively for like 50 games. Bash away.

 

[kanucks25]

I'd be upset that the joke of a suspension cost us a goal there but it's hard to be mad at the league when your team completely no-shows.

 

[Lawzy]

Patented Juulsen play. Make a big hit at the expense of actually playing defense.

 

[BWJM]

How the f*** do you put 14 SOG when the Oilers are playing Pickard?

Why do we always do this

 

[EpochLink]

This team needs an early goal bad come third period.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

We havent even tested the new Skinner yet tho

But it’s the new and improved version. Skinner 2.0.

Okay so what’s the excuse for him looking like shit on the PP playing with the team’s best players?

 

[Zippgunn]

This is a disgraceful performance so far, apart from Silovs who is hanging in there. We need to a) make a pass and b) start winning some puck battles. This goalie can be had but we need to get some shots on him that aren't muffins.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Why are we the ones who are tired when McDavid and Draisaitl are playing 30 minutes a night?

Shouldn't we be much fresher than them?

Shouldn't they be tired from getting hit all the time?

This team still needs to learn to pace themselves over the 82 game season. Many guys started fading down the stretch and we never really had the depth to load manage guys.

McDavid and Draisaitl are conditioned to this sort of run. Issue is they will probably flame out shall they reach the WCF.

Management needs to somehow add depth while coaching needs to rotate guys in and out or load manage minutes.

 

[mathonwy]

Juulsen shouldn’t see the ice for the rest of this round. That’s just not ok. It wasn’t ok in the regular season and doubly so in the 2nd round.

Guy just doesn’t learn.

 

[Nick Lang]

Yep. Can't trust Cole or Juulsen at all. Unfortunately Hughes has to carry the anchor that is Hronek.

Right D needs some work next off season.
