GDT: WCSF GM01 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Wed. May 8th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | In Arturs We Trust

[Leif Rohlin]

He always shoots along the ice or into crest.

He would've scored a lot in the 80s but goalies simply don't get beat often along the ice these days.

He either needs to raise the puck a foot off the ice blocked side or shoot top corner.

He also telegraphs every play he makes. We can't have this guy playing on a line with Pettersson and expect anything good to happen.

 

[arttk]

The question is, do you split up Joshua - Lindholm - Garland after they score two goals this game to give EP better wingers? Say, Lindholm at least on his line?

I don't think you do. Not sure the solution is there this game. Just don't have the horses on the wing. A top 6 winger acquisition at the deadline could have been key in a situation like this.

I don't think Tocchet wants to play the lotto line.

Honestly PDG and Laff are better right now at sustaining play than Hog and Mik. Might be better just to load up 3 lines and play Petey with Bluegar and somebody.

 

[Canucks LB]

I have no doubt in my mind JT Miller is going to have a massive third

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Both goals were bad. Really hope this isnt the pattern and Silovs can calm down and stay square and be set. He is capable of it we've seen it.

He looked AHL level on a couple of those..

 

[Slapshot_11]

Its crazy to think we'd probably be winning this if demko was playing

 

[Nomobo]

Hoglander is not good when he doesn't have time and space

Yeah, his decision making is suspect.

 

[Petey O]

Pretty obvious they felt they needed to add an Oiler to this panel to balance Bieksa.

Go offer Ryan Smyth a bag of money or something. Get an Oiler who was actually relevant, or at least played more than 200 games in the NHL.

It's not like Luke has some sort of skill as an analyst above other potential former Oilers for the job. I refuse to believe they couldn't find somebody better for this spot.

a massive turd?

A massive turd.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Not worried. Been about as even a game as you can get. Arty having a rough one. Was bound to happen.

Win da turd.

 

[Rick Rocket]

Skinner looks bad. Shoot shoot shoot

 

[Vancouver_2010]

call me crazy, but i have a strong feeling we are going to take this, we are taking this 6-4, or 6-5

 

[Regal]

Honestly PDG and Laff are better right now at sustaining play than Hog and Mik. Might be better just to load up 3 lines and play Petey with Bluegar and somebody.

I think Mik has done a decent job at sustaining play. Hogs has been invisible

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Its crazy to think we'd probably be winning this if demko was playing

Might be tied with DeSmith in net.

Silovs was due for a bad game so can't be too hard on him. Still think DeSmith gets the start for game 2

 

[thecupismine]

Those two probably hated each other for years

I'll be completely honest, I don't remember Luke as a player at all.

Just looking it up, looks like he was a big reason the Oilers got Drai and McDavid in the first place

 

[timw33]

We're still playing with house money here, hit em' hard and work the cycle.

Pressure is on Edmonton to not blow a 4-1 lead against a team playing it's third string.

 

[LordBacon]

a massive turd?

you called?

 

[arttk]

I think Mik has done a decent job at sustaining play. Hogs has been invisible

Yeah problem is when Mik shoots…

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I hardly even remember Gazdic

 

[brock hughes007]

Anyone who has played with Mikheyev this year has been dragged down.He is not scoring put his ass on the 4th line.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

If Draisaitl doesn’t play in the 3rd,they’re going to play the hell out of McDiver

 

[aquaweenie]

Need to soften the oilers up a bit in the 3rd with eyes to making it a long series after tonight . Let’s see some hits

 

[Slapshot_11]

Damn draisatles back

 

[PG Canuck]

I feel entirely different heading into this third if Draisaitl doesn’t return

 

[Petey O]

I hardly even remember Gazdic

All I remember from him is a few of his fights. Completely irrelevant other than that.
