GDT: The Connor Show x2 (Canucks @ Oilers, 7 PM)

[McBeastMode]

I don't understand how they are handling Bouchard.

His old bones need time to rest, in-between games..

 

[OfCorsiDid]

What's more impressive? Mcdavid hitting 100 points this season or PRussell scoring a goal before the season is over?

That would be Patrick Russell’s first NHL career goal. Not exactly the first career goal we were expecting this year.

 

[Snipes45]

can we see some consistent reffing tonight pleaseView attachment 430612

Hilarious ho we can outplay Vancouver, but we always get less PP's. Some of the crap they let go last game was horrendous.

 

[Snipes45]

What is this? Like 9 of the last 10 games with Skilliter???

That ref is just sh**. Up there with Furlatt, Joanette, and Kozari

 

[Snipes45]

Furlatt and Skilliter.

Y’all ready to watch some game management?

Furlatt. That prick who reffed that latest horrendous MTL game

The refs are becoming so involved now that I actively go look to see who is reffing, but you posted it already lol.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Furlatt and Skilliter.

Y’all ready to watch some game management?

The Canucks have already gotten away with 3 trips, 4 cross checks and 6 interference/pick plays.

Pathetic.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

But this coaching staff is full of idiots and it’s all McDavid and Draisaitl!

 

[Laodongxi]

Skilliter again!!!

 

[dssource]

Call me crazy but maybe, just maybe, these players are gamers and don't want to sit out even one game. They want to play. Always.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Coach hasn't addressed it...

It kinda made sense up until the clinch.

But now, it's just complete non-sense.

Yes he did, at todays press conference. Maybe take a few minutes and listen to it...

 

[Senor Catface]

But this coaching staff is full of idiots and it’s all McDavid and Draisaitl!

Over the last two seasons, their PK is 5th.

That success really seems to maintain itself, even with players in and out of the lineup.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Why play PRussell? I would just as soon dress Bouchard as 7 d-man and only dress 11 forwards. Surely Bouchard can get 10 minutes of ice practising PK, etc.

They probably want to get everyone into one more game at this point. May as well be tonight for PRuss.

This must be what having a good system feels like. It had been so long since we had one, I had almost forgotten. It was way back in 19 jiggity 5 when we last had a quality penalty kill, and it was all because of a young upstart named Craig McTavish. He was fresh off the bus from Boston, which he took because he couldn't legally drive because he killed someone after a few too many of what we used to call "road pops". That young man refused to wear a helmet you know, for fear that it would straighten his majestic curly hair. It was that same year that wearing an onion your belt became fashionable, and I wore the biggest one I could find. The young ladies couldn't get enough of a big ol' onion...

HEY YOU KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN!

 

[The Safe Play]

No.

No Ennis or Bouchard and McLeod is stuck with Neal and Chiasson?!

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

I won't be happy unless McDavid scores 5 tonight.

 

[Wretched Oil]

I think the Oilers are having a pretty good year, so the coach has earned my trust in the lineup selection. Crazy.

 

[9GWG9]

The kid will be a big part come playoffs.

Someone mentions Sittlers record... All goals would be nice.

 

[ManofSteel55]

No Ennis or Bouchard and McLeod is stuck with Neal and Chiasson?!

Neal has actually had some good moments in the past week or so. Hopefully he is playing more like pre-COVID Neal and less like, well, earlier this year.

People need something to talk about bro lol.

It was way back in 19 jiggity 9 when I last trusted the coach to put foreward a decent lineup...

 

[Oilers in NS]

@RattsSSV
Good one for Gary

 

[Louis Cypher]

Who came out for PRussel?

 

[GOilers88]

"This team always plays like shit after a good rest!"

"Why the f*** isn't Tipp resting guys for playoffs!?!?"

Weird comment, they do not stop resting players because they player poorly after rest in the past sometimes, you figure out how to rest and not be sluggish like other teams manage. Also talking about a plyer resting one game, not the whole team having a week break...

I'm aware

To be fair they play like shit EVERYTIME they come off a rest period. Would honestly rather see them go into the post season without any rest, haha.
