GDT: WCSF - Game 2: Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Fri. May 10th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | Don’t Change That Channel

[ACLEVERNAME]

As a non-couver fan, can I get a quick rundown on this 'Sutherland' fellow?

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Tocchet's up. Will he address his team's embellishment? Let's find out!

 

[Brookbank]

Just imagine Skinner against a team like Colorado for 7 games. The Avs would destroy him in net and run him out of town. His confidence would forever be ruined.

Avs don't exactly have a rockstar in goal either

 

[Dust]

Fair enough. I didn't actually see the first tonight so I was just going off hearsay.

What I will say is that if the Oilers need to ride their top forwards this much to get past the canucks, it doesn't bode well for future rounds (both in quality of competition and energy levels of their top players).

You can probably get away with riding a McDavid a few more minutes a night if you get a bit of rest at the end of the series, or if some of that is PP time. To me i'd more worry about Draisaitl and Hyman. McDavid could probably play 30 minutes a night and be perfectly fine, his skating and cardio is on another level. Everyone else is human though.

If this series goes 7 and Dallas Colorado ends in 5 though, winner is in deeper trouble.

 

[Kurtosis]

This is a great series so far but I just don’t see either of these teams beating Dallas or Colorado.

 

[sepHF]

That reffing was truly atrocious in the 2nd period. For both teams, jesus f***ing christ

 

[CpatainCanuck]

The Oilers played great in the 3rd especially. It was disappointing the Canucks could hardly manage any pressure against Skinner towards the end of the game. The game was there to be taken.

Nah, he rightfully called out the slewfoot

 

[Captain Controversy]

The calls today were garbage. Both sides got screwed. Hughes getting his missed call sucks for nuck fans. Oilers played better and harder, they deserved the win.

How did the Oilers get screwed by the refs?

Dallas seems like they should be a monster, but they don't look that impressive.

 

[syz]

Hughes would get more calls if he'd stop bailing on hits. He's turning away from contact a lot and I think as soon as the refs see that they put the onus on him.

Okay. He can't comment on multiple truths?

 

[Captain Controversy]

How did the Oilers get screwed by the refs?

Lots of missed calls.

 

[Bizzare]

Lots of missed calls.

Glad you could come up with some examples

 

[SiZ]

Canucks bitching about a missed high stick penalty as if the exact same thing didn't happen to Hyman at the end of the 1st period.

Or how about the missed too many men call on the Zadorov goal?

lol if anyone could possibly think the Canucks got the short end of the stick on officiating.

Do you have a clip of this? It keeps getting referenced, but I didn't see any high stick.

 

[Despote]

I know he scored on the PP, but Elias Pettersson is by far the least intimidating star player on the Canucks roster so far. Feels like a complete no-factor in 5vs5 playoff hockey, just knocked off the puck and on his ass every shift.

You mean the guy from Vancouver?

 

[sepHF]

How did the Oilers get screwed by the refs?

the too many men on Zadorovs goal was bad, they missed one on the Oil too in the 3rd

also didn't love them letting Myers put Hyman in a full on headlock behind the net when Silovs lost control of the puck

they had just called Hyman a few plays prior to that for holding a stick for 0.5 seconds then let that shit go.

cant believe Edmonton didnt score there, huge block by Miller

I guess not. Poor guy must have been too broken up about it.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Hughes would get more calls if he'd stop bailing on hits. He's turning away from contact a lot and I think as soon as the refs see that they put the onus on him.

You might be right that he would get more calls, but he would also probably be injured and not playing right now. I don't know if advising perhaps the most elusive player in the league to just "take the hits" is the most intelligent comment I've read lately.

 

[soothsayer]

Jesus Tocchet crying about the refs. Some things never change about that organization.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Oilers definitely deserved game 2. We got ourselves a series.

With that said Nucks still take this in 7. Playing McDrai almost 30 mins in a game is not sustainable and they are a one line team.

Can't wait for game 3, I will be a attending!

 

[Bizzare]

Okay. He can't comment on multiple truths?

Who and when did a Canuck embellish?

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Oilers deserved the win tonight. No doubt about that they made it look like a 10-min PP at one point in the third. McDavid was head and shoulders the best player on the ice.

Silovs was solid. The Canucks should have gotten more pucks on net and crashed it considering how Skinner again was the 2nd best goalie on the ice. But they kept throwing it into corners - wasting efforts. Miller looked pretty tired at times. Sucks for Cole on the own goal - he's been awful both games. It took a lucky bounce despite all the skill.

Battle was good for both teams. Ref was atrocious tonight on the missed Hughes but both teams got away with shots and embellishment.
